Hi
Just joined yesterday after many years away from any fishing or the sea.
Based a few miles outside Tralee, at the start of the Dingle Peninsula.
Have a small boat that was parked up in a garage for over 20 years, but got a new rear floor last year,
plus the engine had to be replaced, so this year I'm hoping to be up and running properly.

Happy to potter around Tralee Bay and try out a few areas like Kerry Head, The Maharees, Brandon, etc.
Anyone else here do any angling in Tralee Bay, or that general area?
Looking forward to getting out again.

Thanks

Pat

Welcome Pat,
I used spend a fair bit of time fishing from Brandon many years back. Did a few launches out of Fenit as well.
There's a few lads fishing out of Fenit in small boats as well.
I don't know how the fishing is down that way nowadays but there's plenty options for sure.

I got out just once last year, at the end of the season.
I'm fully organised for this year and will find a few people with smaller boats.
My own is only 15ft with a 60hp Mercury.
Appreciate your reply.
