I'm staying down in Kerry for a few days near Glenbeigh, I was wondering would anyone know a safe spot nearby where I might be able to bring the nieces and nephews for a bit of spinning for mackerel? Don't know that part of the country much myself.

macks were being caught at downpatrick head. the place was a disgrace with the rubbish - im sure some other quiet ledges in the area would be producing away from the tourists
