    Bass fishing down there is supposed to serious.
    Not sure of the laws involved.

    This covers the sea options around single.

    If there's a lake then there's always a possibility of a fish. Sure, have a go!

    danbrosnan is around that area if he's online to give you advice before you go but bass fishing is all year around down these parts. The water stays warm enough to keep them feeding and Ive read reports all winter of various sessions where bass were taken. Enjoy the trip

    First, Kenmare is 60 miles from Dingle, then Lough Currane is 40 from both Dingle and Kenmare!!!

    Meant to say Waterville, I live in Kerry myself so I'm well aware of distances but if he wants to catch good fish it's the place to go! It's roughly 90km from dingle.

    The weather too crazy at the moment, there is a couple of lunatics which would include me that have been fishing....

    With regards to the lake you will be near by all means fish it, there is over 20 lakes on the peninsula that hold brown, see trout and some hold salmon, obviously for the latter you need a license but target browns and you will be fine...

    There is bass about but the weather is too unreliable... Best year ever for cod down here... If I were you! Stay in the pub!

    Well we had 60 cod one night back in brandon between about ten of us, the cod aren't huge but they ok... biggest pushing two pound..

    The rivers on the dingle peninsula will run sea trout and salmon from march and anyone that says there aren't hasn't try'd...

    Some lovely coal fish at the moment from the beaches some up to 4 pound...

    Eugene farrelly had a lovely bass of about 4 pound three or four weeks ago from a beach on the dingle pen....

    Also some painted ray being caught from the beaches...

    You need to get the weather right as you prob know yourself, we were trying for some specimen rockling last night but the weather got very rough all of a sudden, so there some great fishing at the moment in kerry...
