Great Blasket

Postby delmonte » Fri Aug 02, 2019 10:12 am

I’m heading out to Great Blasket island for two nights later in the month and thinking I will chance wetting a line. I’m wondering has anyone ever tried fishing off the beach or otherwise there?

Last time I was the there the beach and surf was covered with seals... best of luck with that lol. I would think ya could try from the peir for wrasse, pollock straps etc.

The rest of the island that I saw was to high a cliff to fish from.

Theres still plenty of room to fish on the beach despite the seals, the currents and rips there have bass written all over them
