Marks in Dingle Bay

#1 Post by longone »

Have been boat fishing in Ventry Bay for the last few years and as the kids have gotten bigger i have more time for fishing and was looking for some good spots out towards the Blaskets. I have fished Ventry back to Dingle and Trabeg. Plenty of boat experiance now looking for better fishing experiance

Longone you could try from Slea Head back towards the stone huts, a straight drift about 150 yards of the shore there is good for mixed rough ground stuff, plenty of pollock, cuckoos, ling, pout and wrasse. All the reefy ground around the Wild Bank(marked on admiralty chart) is excellent too.
Sea Species(25) bass, codling, whiting, turbot, seatrout, stingray, pollock, coalfish, longspine scorpion, ballan wrasse, dogfish, ling, pouting, poor cod, dab, mackerel, smelt, sandeel, launce, bull huss, painted ray, thick lip mullet, golden grey mullet, rock goby.

Thanks for that Pete.Hope to start getting out the first week in May. Need to be a bit more adventures and needed to find some where that is not flat and featureless.
