Hi all, first post so a short introduction.

My names bri, i live near Norwich in east anglia and, some would say, fishing mad, but hey, i'm sure we can all relate to that.

As my buddy Steeley put on the catch reports, we will be heading over to Westcove end of August / first week in September and would like to think theres an awful lot of good info out there waiting for us from you regular guys.

This is our first trip over and hope its gonna be one that makes us want to come back again and again.

:?: What can we hope to catch around that area, bait etc.

Anything would be nice but with your help it could be the best ever.

Thanks in advance for any replies and your time.

Bri

a quick google search shows it is somewhere on the ring of kerry not too far from caherdaniel? it looks to be about 20mins drive from waterville, get in contact with kevin brain, he can look after ye for bait etc and he has a book out with detailed marks of the area. might be an idea to get the book before ye travel to have an idea of where ye want to fish.
