Never fished it before but remember seeing it on the SAI shore marks page

4 - Lough Hyne What can you say about Lough Hyne? An extraordinary place. A saltwater lake with trees and grass to the edge, and cows grazing pasture next to a pollack mark! Whilst the quality of the catch may not be superb, fishing from under the trees on a sunny day into the "lake" is an experience like no other... access to the deepest water is from the western shore, although the Mullet congregate to the north. Access is tricky with roads leading to the western shore (near the island at the mouth) and the east near the "outflow". Species & Techniques: Bottom fishing will produce Pollack, Coalfish, Wrasse, Gurnard, Conger and Mackerel in season. A unique place.

Here's the link too

Banned. I did catch some Pollock wrasse and huge conger.
