Castlegregory, Kerry??

#1 Post by James Barry »

Hows it going lads, just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction for some spots in this area, going down this weekend end of college banter with the class. Im putting the rods in the car, I know the area is good for bass from what i can find but since thats a no go at the moment is there any deep water marks thinking pollack/wrasse have looked at the osi map and the point at fahamore looks like the best bet? But if theres any other spots for mullet maybe even ray around the area? Any help would be great.

Cheers.

The main beach is supposed to be good for ray. Tried it a few years ago but no joy.
