I don't know what the fishing is like around Glengariff - but there is a big seal population there, masses of them basking on the rocks out towards Garnish Island so I would guess that the fishing would not be great. There is a lot of weed around there too.

Your best bet would be to head westwards towards the end of the peninsula - lots of small rocky inlets along the south side,, west of Castletownbere. The end between the mainland and Dursey Island has very deep water and is supposed to be good for pollcok and wrasse.

If there is a good surf running then the beach at Allihies might have some bass.

I will probably head over that way myself sometime over the summer. If I am there before August and find some good marks I will let you know.
thanks lad give ya a shout,couple weeks b4 i head down
