Re: achill island
keel beach is good for flatties,seatrout,pollock,ray... pollock habour is good for conger,mackerel,pollock coalies,rockling,...anywhere along the atlantic drive where its safe(mostly rock marks) good for pollock,wrasse,coalies,conger,mackerel.doogort good for wrasse,flatties,pollock,mackerel,coalies,rockling,seatrout.darby point good for ,pollock,mackerel,seatrout,doggies huss,across on the sand near currane,ray,huss,doggies,flatties.so your spoilt for choice really,better bring some frozen bait tho,i dont think theres anywhere you can buy bait on the island,nearest tackle shop would be "a shore thing" in westport.there is a shop in achill sound called lavelles (i think) that does a small selection of feathers and lures.
species 2012.........(12)seatrout,bass,turbot,flounder,brill,lsd,coalie,shore rockling,pollock,pout,poor cod,gray gurnard
species 2011 (20) flounder,whiting,poor cod,5 beard rockling,lsd.coalie,thornie,three bearded rockling,shore rockling.seatrout.turbot,plaice,brill,pollock,ballen wrasse.huss,pout,cookoo wrasse,corking wrasse,dab.

Re: achill island
ya achill has so much to offer mate.take advice of wat doggie told u.and yes remember the bait scenario.ur man in shore thing in westport is sound and even ask him about places in achill that r fishing well and he shud help you.best of luck.just remember to the achill people ireland is an island off the east coast of achill.
