Down in Killarney for the weekend and brought the spinning rod along to try get out for a session or two.
Any advice on handiest locations to aim for?
Am I wrong to think inch would be a waste of time with light spinning rod and lures (especially with likely onshore wind)

Re: Kerry Bass spinning advice
For a very quick and basic answer - I would find the closest estuary. Start at low water and work a Sp in with the tide. At some stage, given the time of year and big tides on Thursday, you would be unlucky not to come in contact with a Bass. There is a LP arriving on Thursday and the weekend looks dominated by LP and strong westerlies so you might avoid open beaches if you are light spinning. Depends on how far you are willing to travel. Cloghanne would be sheltered and it produces Bass 3 hours into the rise. Alternatively the east side of the maherees has some beautiful mixed ground for surface plugs. High tide around 8 or 9 would be idea for an evening last light session on lures. Into dark if you find a safe spot too.
If you are really up for it, the best option is Cloghanne - 5am would be a few hours into the rise with the tides as they are, it would be dark but safe and ideal for bouncing a plastic into first light. Proven time and method there.
