yeah noticed that over the last year or 2 that the doggies have left fenit it is possible that people are catching them and keeping them to eat them or else they are being targeted commercially. try off the rocks on fenit island.

its a long walk so it stops alot of people getting out there.

if you fish the beach before fenit island, i mean the sand bar, over the sand dune from where you park the car. about 2 hrs before low and 2 after at night you should get plenty of dogs, ive got trebles and trebles there. chance of a ray too in a month or so

Hi liam.
no fenit Island is the right turn at the post office as you come into fenit. there is a sandbar that connects the island (so really it is not an island at all) there is two rock marks on the island and another mark at the castle that can be good but you need to walk all the way around.

have a look at this

it comes from this page
