Nice bass lads,,,well done.

Tralee bay is a great spot for the stingers who often travel in pairs, can be hge and swim very close to the shore frequently. Derrymore is a great spot for them from May onwards...

Thanks Lads

Last time I was in Kerry I was fishin for the stingers, and was very surprised as the same known area for large stingrays, there was a swimming club out when I asked about people getting stung, I was told "All the time!" its just a quick trip to Tralee General hospital. First thought was. ok these people are crazy ... Lovely report! love reading about the Prep work that goes into trips! Well done!
