Inch beach, Kerry -start of February

#1 Post by shortcircuit »

So by happy chance I am going to a stag in dingle on the first weekend in February but must come back to Cork on the Saturday 6th Feb- which gives me a chance to fish somewhere I always wanted -Inch.

I don't have access to Dingle tides for that day -maybe someone could post the tides if they have a tides book ? Thanks

I would appreciate any useful information about fishing inch this time of year - best baits, where I can get bait locally , tactics etc. Any and all information greatly appreciated

PMs welcome if you would rather not post here

Hi shortcircuit

Here are the results of a simple search with the word 'inch' in the title:

http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/foru ... mit=Search

Some other hits there in relation to Inch pier, Inch Island etc but there a plenty associated with Inch Beach.
Have a trawl, hope this helps..

Stunning beach. Don't know if it is a majorly productive fishing destination though. Quite shallow for good bit as far as I recall, and I believe that it throws up flatties and small round fish and not much else.
But will be interested to hear how you get on

you need to be there at the right time to get bass - otherwise it will be a pile of small flounders for your efforts

To be honest, I don't have much choice about when I will hit there- will probably end up fishing the second half of the flood tide.

Can anyone advise where I might be able to pick up bait locally? I probably won't have time to dig lug.

Hi shortcircuit I usually have a go in and around Inch at least once a year and use this tide chart for tidal times high and low depths http://wisuki.com/tide/1844/inch-beach pretty accurate just give an hour before or after what you want fish

I have not fished in two years hoping to change that this year with anything ?
