Re: West Clare
Unfortunately, fishing in West Clare have been poor recently be it in beach or rock marks.
Sorry if this doesn't help at all.
Maybe you can try another area...

Re: West Clare
Fanore is North Clare, West Clare would be more Lehinch downward to Quilty, Kilkee and around there.jizmonger wrote:Hi all

Still doesnt change the fact that fishing is very slow for the time of year. Very few mackerel in Galway Bay even some charter skippers struggling to find them. Little to no pollack showing around Doolin, perhaps caused by the resident dolphin.
The weather has not been kind to us and water quality has been made even worse by the red tide
The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.
