Aillroe Shore - Shannon Estuary

Duration:6:30pm until 9:45pm

Tide:High at 11pm

Weather:Light Breeze, Cold with a couple of light showers

Bait:Mackerel & Squid

Rigs:Pulley Rigs

Results:Not even a bite.


Report:The only life we spotted all evening was a group of about 6-10 dolphins happily feeding in the middle of the estuary. Weed wasnt too bad and I didnt find it too snaggy.

Henry Gilbey's huss were definately not around!

dont worry, ive fished it 4 times and never had even a pull???!!!???

Stay away from that place its better off seen through the rear view mirror while heading to a place with fish to be caught...........

Hi Lads
Due to come over to fish this area in about 5 weeks, you have just put a dampener on our trip, after reading this thread :cry: . Hope it picks up in the coming weeks :wink: .

Dont worry too much Wayne, there are other places along the estuary fishing very well. I hope to get a few sessions in the coming weeks and will post the results.

Fished competition on the capa shoreline on Sunday. Rods were constantly tapping with mainly dogs but also ray, huss and my first ever stinger. Fish weren't big but it was non-stop action. I'd guess there were Plenty of mackerel out there as there was gull action and a couple fell to baits. Talk was there were plenty of ray in Poulnasharry and lots bass showing on the clare surf beachs.

Plenty of very good local anglers have had no success at aillroe as well as bad non-local ones like me. Saying that we could all be fishing the wrong tide or conditions or just be there on the wrong day.

As I said before better off seen from your rear view mirror actually a no fishing sign would be more suitable for that spot its a disaster............

Thanks m8, any up-to-date info on local venues would be a great help.

Hi Donagh, we are going to give this venue a good go when we come over :lol: :lol: We are going to try the flood all the way up and also the ebb all the way down :?

Can anyone on the forum give me the tide times for 13th/17th Oct, for this area. I have had them before but missed place them, Im sure they were mid afternoon H/W on the 13th.

Hello Wayne,

Go to the shannon port authority website and you can see the tide tables for the estuary:

If I fish aillroe between now and october I will post an update.

Hi Wayne,

I was in contact with Henry Gilbey about this mark before and he said it was best fished two hours either side of high or low water on springs. On the big springs your coming over for there wouldn't be room to set up for one angler at high water.

Donagh

Thanks again, lads :wink: .

Best of luck lads at that mark as it needs to be fished at all stages of the tide are ye still interested in a match between us and you

Yep! well up for a match with you guys, should be good craic.
I have spoken to a few people on here, to arrange a meet-up, but you are logged on as a quest, I don't know who you are, sorry.
We will be over on 13th Oct to 17th Oct. If you can pick a suitable venue for that weekend (period) and get together some locals. There will now only be 5 of us, though, if you can sort this out and let me Know, I am sure we can sort something out.
If there are more than 5 of you local lads interested in meeting up, may be we can all fish individualy for heaviest fish, etc.

there goes you penn boys touting for comps again hi wayne myself jerome and darren from the rockhoppers are going over the week before you lot let you know how it fishes

Hi Will, how are you m8?
I have posted a reply in the shore angling q&a forum, under the thread Shannon.
If you are going the week before us you will be on the smaller tides, we are going on the spring tides, so let me know how you all do.
