Not sure if Clare got hit as bad but the phytoplankton bloom might have put paid to alot of the lug, know some of the beaches up here are devoid of casts after the red tide. Baitdigger on the forum here knows Clare well might be worth a shout.

pot of gold maybe, never got any lug from there, go down to the castle, (don't attempt to drive down, you get stuck and don't forget to close the gates after you) keep to your right, having said that don't do anything which might attract the bull away from its business. Been there with kids etc...
When you're on the foreshore you are safe, plenty of lug there. Just make sure to bring some goodies for the bull on your way up, he doesn't like empty buckets :lol:
