Fenit is the
capital of fishing from boat and shore in North
Kerry and rightly so... It is home to the most remarkable feat recorded in Ireland where a 109 lbs
Common Skate was brought ashore from Fenit Pier with a bass road and a multiplier loaded with 19 lb line. It took over
4 hours
but must be the greatest light tackle achievement in Irish angling. A red
spot |
Introduction:
Most of the marks are near Fenit Island, and that is hardly surprising given the record of fish caught from shore in the area. What is surprising is that Kerry Head offers just one mark, despite its position at the mouth of the Shannon and the deep water available close to shore... definitely room for an intrepid explorer... The area has become increasingly popular for large competitors in recent years, especially Banna Strand. Fenit has several charter boats available also, and the tourism infrastructure is extremely well developed in Kerry, whatever your budget, but you can not visit Kerry and not fish Fenit Pier. |
