Shore Angling at Killimer Beach, Co Clare

Location: Shannon Estuary, Co Clare

Nearest Airport: Shannon

Type of Angling Mark: Beach

Angling Mark

Immediately east of the Killimer Ferry slipway is a long beach which is relatively free of rock and weed. Car parking is at the Ferry Terminal. The beach is very comfortable to fish as it is also out of the main tide stream. Catches of Bull Huss to 9lbs, Thornback ray to 8lbs, Conger and Dogfish are possible here. Mackerel is the most productive bait, especially for Conger and the flood tide is the most productive period.

Bait

Bait can be collected to the west side of Kilrush inlet, this is via a left turn immediately after the graveyard, Cars can be parked at the end of this road where it meets the beach. This is an excellent area for lugworm. The sandy strip in the middle of the beach below the Sewage Works produces good quality black lugworm. The best time to dig is at extreme low water, with one hour either side of high tide. Soft and peeler crab can also be collected there and most crabs may be found buried in the sand under the serrated wrack.
