Kinsale fishing?

#1 Post by simplywabs »

Just wanted to post this to be more aware of what to expect.

We are planning on going to Kinsale one of these coming weekends. How's fishing there? Are there shore marks and does it fish good? Do I have to charter a boat to get some good fishing?

The plan is really to go around Kinsale for the whole weekend but I am planning on sqeezing in some fishing on the side when activites are completed.

Any information is welcome.

Thanks in advance :D :D :D

Thanks for the reply. Do they allow teen agers? I have a couple of my kids with me and they would probably tag along.

kinsale is pretty small, you'll see the whole place in a few hours leaving you plenty of time for fishing :lol:
