3 days fishing - WHERE?

[chuckaroo]

I have 3 days to take off work before the end of the month gonna head off fishing
but, can anyone suggest somewhere to go?!! (in Ireland)

things seem pretty quiet up this way at the moment (unless there are fish being caught somewhere that I dont now about..) and so I would like ANY suggestions on a venue here or there that might produce some reasonable fishing during March
im not looking for any special marks, nor do I require extra special fishing, Im easily pleased
i would be particularly keen to target: sea trout, bass, ray, flatties of any sort, but i would consider ANY species. even just a suggestion of a day or a half-a-day somewhere..

i would make a good fishing companion too... any shore and boat options defo open for consideration!
need an xtra man on the boat to make up the costs..?
doesnt particularly matter if we blank, well maybe jut a little

ANY suggestions will be warmly welcomed
PMs very welcome and all treated in total confidence
the chances are that i will head away on my own

thanks

The beara peninsula should throw up good fishing and can offer shelter in the worst conditions. Contact paul harris on here or google him. He has a b&b and caters for anglers and will show you all the spots to fish too. I never fished there but have only heard good things about it.

thanks Red
i tell you what, for this trip i am going to only consider the west and south-west coasts, as i have never fished over there before
and i am only going to target sea trout and bass, well, maybe a bit of shore fishing for other species thrown in too
so can anyone help on providing locations for me to try please!
i really need some pointers PMs please

will give this guy a shout red, thanks
must get a trout license

cheers

Hi Chuckaroo

West and north Clare is definetly worth a crack, you could fish from Kilrush up to black head, you will have rough ground marks to Atlantic storm beaches, you can bait fish and lure fish. Spieces wise you will have ray, conger, bass and many others. Plenty of accom available. Give us a shout if you need any info

Sending you a pm through IKA.

West kerry storm beaches like Stradbally,Fermoyle, Gowlane and Kilcummin they are great for bass and flattie fishing. you can target sea trout on the cloghane estuary. you can try the famous Inch strand if a good surf is running for Bass. if you do decide to fish in the likes of stradbally and Gowlane watch out for the strong lateral currents especially on spring tides. ive have had seven ounce grippers picked up and not hold bottom. if you contact ullcatch before you come down they will point you in the right direction.
