Cromane Co Kerry

[privatepile]

Would anyone know if its worth fishing Cromane Co Kerry? I'm not really bothered what I catch it's will be released anyway with the exception of mackerel.
I have some sandeel and black worm so I was thinking of bottom fishing with a pulley ris as well as a float.

Also il presuming 2 hrs before high tide would be the best time.?

I used to catch some big tope there, but the channel has moved beyond my crap casting distances. But won't any one will struggle with a 7oz grip lead (strong tide) and 8oz of mackerel? Never bothered with the bass as Rossbeigh is so near and good, and tope can be found there (sometimes). For mackerel head out towards Kells, if you can find them. Mackerel have become, probably, our least reliable species

Hi
Try lug (easy enough to dig/pump) or sandeel (don't know where to buy up your way). Two hook clipped down rig with size 1 or 1/0 aberdeens. Beach rod and reel. Grip lead. If it's not blowing a hooley I use light braid, a fixed spool and a light (3oz) continental style rod (14ft) or 3lb test curve carp rod with a 3 or 4oz lead. I like to use 2 rods, one as far as I can get it for ray and the other just 30-40yds into the surf (or less). With the bass it's so easy to overcast and miss them!

Back beach at the turn of high tide is worth a chuck.
