In October, they sail every hour on the half hour from Tarbet. It is only a 10 or 15 minute crossing. If you are coming from Cork it may be quicker to drive to Limerick and go on from there.

I am fairly new to fishing but if you do a search you will see a lot of posts on fishing the estuary; Poulnasherry Bay, Labasheeda, Carrigaholt, Moneypoint are some of the marks, and nearby on the west coast of Clare Doonbeg and Bridges of Ross. Have a look at the shoremarks on the main page.

Good luck.

Will, forget what I said about driving to Limerick. If you hit Limerick or Ennis at the wrong time the traffic delays can be really bad. You are probably better off taking the scenic route.
