Looking after the needs of the shore angler, whether you are expert or novice, is very much our speciality and facilities include a tackle shop, fresh and frozen bait, fridge and freezer facilities, dedicated tackle and bait room and expert advice always available. For all our guests there is a free guiding service to the best of the fishing marks and daily advice on your whatever you may need.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Beara Peninsula is one of the least explored areas of Ireland for sea angling, but its potential is now starting to be recognised. Well known journalist and presenter of the excellent angling series ‘Fishing on the Edge’ Henry Gilbey has stayed with us twice and after viewing the area and enjoying some successful fishing described the area as ‘water, water everywhere and not an angler in sight’.
During 2008 we were honoured to be chosen to host the Sea Angler Sea Safari and for a week in June top anglers Chris Clarke, Alan Yates, Malcom Stoate, Paul Fenech and John Wells explored some of our marks and caught enough fish for a series of six articles in Sea Angler magazine.
Our main venues are predominately rock fishing with only a few sandy beaches. Forget the climbing gear however as one of the features is the very good access we have to many of our marks.The rocks are generally the easy ’step down’ variety and just as importantly most are no more than ten minutes from where you park, some much less.
Fishing is out over a mixture of ground with as you would expect the sandier areas being the best for our many species of ray with the more mixed ground for the quality huss and conger.
Another feature of the Beara is the depths you are fishing in to. Even a medium cast of fifty yards will put you into depths of thirty feet or more and with so much water under your feet tides and day or night fishing are not as critical as in many other venues.
Under you feet are several species of wrasse which will happily snap up crab or worm baits while a mackeral head has taken many conger to 40 pounds.
If you feel like a day afloat then we can organise a day out with top charter boat Tigger or if you wish to be your own captain then a fully equipped self drive boat is available for hire.
