Lure fishing in Kerry this weekend

#1 Post by Rob Millard »

I'm heading to Kenmare for the weekend with the missus. Given the recent weather, am I wasting my time packing the lure fishing gear?
We'll be travelling all over south & west Kerry, from Castletownbere to Waterville to Dingle.

Before anybody gets upset, I know Castletownbere is in Cork!

I'd say you have more chance with a lure than you would with bait considering the wind direction because you have more chance of a take just because that a fish will react on instinct more than to a bait in these conditions so good luck.

I'll be honest with you, I spent about 10 mins attempting some LRF off Dunquin Pier, and that was it. It was cold and I had an impatient missus in the car. Travelled all around Kerry though, and saw some great looking spots that I would love to try in the summer. Derrynane & Caherdaniel chief among them. Now just roll on some decent weather, I'm really itching to get started!!!!!
