Lough Eagle is also said to be excellent for brown trout. There is no coarse fishing on the peninsula. Starting from the north-east near Tralee and working westwards along the north shore and then back eastwards along the south shore, there are twenty or so good spots. The first is around Blennerville, good for bass and flatfish. Along Tralee bay there are good spots at Derrymore, Camp and Aughacasla.
Lugworm is the preferred bait here.
Surf fishing here will provide bass and flatfish. At the mouth of Lough Gill bass and flatfish can be got by spinning and bottom fishing, especially at high tide. On the end of that spit of land, the Magharees are good places again for bottom fishing and spinning. Along the western shore of the Magharees there is good fishing all along the beach especially at Fermoyle, Kilcummin and Stradbally. Surf fishing will provide bass, flatfish and the occasional tope.
