Report:
I have never fished this are before so it was a bit of trial and error. I fished the jetty where the car ferry comes in... caught 2 orange and 2 green crab.. (would have been 6 but they decided to let go.)

I have heard people mention the beacon.. after asking a local or 2 I found the place.. I fished to the right hand side of the beacon on a lower bit.. and it produced a dogfish.

I do not know if there any spots to the left of the beacon. Will have a better look another time.

Anthony,
You had a fair old walk there to the Beacon, hope you travelled light, if not you are probably still recovering.

If you pop into the Algiers pub they might also point you in the direction of a few other marks.
I spend a few weeks every year in Baltimore (Boat Fishing Festival) in August then days fishing Barley Cove, the back end of Mizen Head and various other places. Lovely area and well worth exploring

I took 2 rods - Rod rest - back pack... Light enough.. apparently theres some nice spots left hand side of the beacon.. will be visiting it next week when the bus and tides meet up.
Its well worth the walk.
