Inch strand

#1 Post by quagmiresdad »

We are coming over from Scotland in three weeks time for our yearly visit to the Kerry/Clare region.could I ask if it is possible to drive all the way to the end of inch strand in a 4x4 to fish the channel?
All information greatfully received

It is possible in a proper 4x4 but be very careful and stay high up the beach as there are some soft spots.

Drive below the high water mark but be gone off the beach about 2 hours before high water.
I always found that down to the left fishes best at the start of the flood
