Ballykissane Killorglin Co Kerry

#1 Post by privatepile »

Has anyone fished here recently? I saw a few posts from a few yrs back just wondering it its worth there to go fishing off the pier? I catch and release so it doesnt matter what I catch.

I tried it twice but no luck. Beautiful spot though. Not a bad way to spend a few hours.

I only tried it with spinners and lures. I might head back and try with lug. I fished a few times a few yrs back. I kind of stopped then for some reason. Just went back again recently.
I was also fishing 2 hours before high tide. I might start fishing at low tide and stay for a few hours.
