Well you are in the ideal county for it anyway let me tell you that.
If on facebook or insta look up some SW bass or kerry pages. Also search on youtube and you may recognise a few spots.

Shallow, rocky, weedy areas like 4-6ft deep, fish low water up, fishing into darkness or in total darkness increases your chances. If fishing at night make sure to slowly retrieve (like as slow as you possibly can). If you are using plugs, check what their intended action is, some lures might need to be twitched were as others work better on a straight retrieve. Sometimes if you pause for a second the bass will hit the lure too.

There is an old book from Bob Moss that details the best bass marks around Kerry - hard to find now, but worth a look. Even goes into the tides and weather.
Bound to be copies around in Kerry. Maybe the charity shops?
