Testimonials

  • Gordon Thornes - Journalist Sea Angler Magazine

    "Just a big thank you for a great deal and looking after us last week, we enjoyed ourselves despite the weather, the fish were not jumping on the hooks but we got enough for the magazine features. I am surprised that you don't have more anglers staying with you, geographically your situation is perfect for access to the famed bass strands of Brandon bay and Inch and the Dingle peninsula in general. I stay in lots of places all over Ireland and have to say the Tralee Bay Holiday Village complex is a cut above the average with everything under one roof so to speak, it is the ideal base for shore, game and with your parking facilities travelling small boat anglers. Best of luck in these testing times. My regards to Tim. Gordon."
  • Ken Pierce

    "My mates and I have been fishing the Castlegreggory area for over 27 years, the beaches over there are the best I have ever fished,they have produced for us lots of bass up to 11lb although myself I am still waiting for my first double figure one but I have had loads up to 8 lb we have also had very large flounder and a few sea trout,the accommodation we require must be very clean very comfortable and very spacious,in my opinion the cottages at Tralee Bay Village ticks all the boxes and the icing on the cake is the seven-hoggs bar and restaurant which is within the holiday village, and Tim and his staff are all very helpful in whatever you need. Barrie, the owner of the cottages, is also very helpful and the sort of person you can talk to and sort any problems or concerns you may have ,the only problem with him is he is a Chelsea supporter and I am trying to get him to recognize a good team like Liverpool but I have failed up to now, but still trying."
  • Jean-Pierre - on catching shrimps

    "Regarding our fishing spot (there could be better ones as we didn't try many), should you be interested of course, it is located in a little cove beyond Fahamore, just west of a larger cove where a pier can be found. All you have to do is to catch the shrimps under the algae (some varieties are better than others) by means of a net better, much larger and stronger than those we saw in the cottage, yet the same shape. Back home just drop your shrimps into a pan of boiling & salted water and leave them no more than two minutes, maybe two & a half, just time to really change colour. Add a pinch of salt once your catch is on the plate, still warm. Wait until the shrimps are cold or just lukewarm and then enjoy with a glass of dry white wine, with enough acidity. Bon appétit! Sorry for not leaving some for you. We should have gone back fishing instead of being lazy and going to the pub. Please find attached pics of my friends and our catch. Thank you for your welcome and your flexibility anyway. See you one of these days... Best regards, Jean-Pierre"
