Inish Oirr (Innishere)
 This
is the smallest and most easterly of the Aran Islands. It is situated
in the mouth of Galway Bay, in the open Atlantic. Shore angling on Innishere
is like fishing off a large boat in the ocean. It is practically virgin
water, hardly ever fished except for some local effort. Specimen fish
have been landed for years by locals who have been unaware of any need
for excitement about their success. There are over 20 species recorded
caught from the shores of Innishere.
As well as shore angling, deep sea angling trips from the Island and
over-night accommodation can be arranged. Within fifteen minutes the angler
can reach grounds which abound with as many as 25 different species including
blue shark, porbeagle shark and tope, many of them specimen weight.
There is first class hotel and hostel accommodation on the Island as
well as camp sites, and the Island has three pubic houses plus top-class
restaurants. There is daily access by ferry from Doolin in Co. Clare,
Rossaveal and Galway City. A flight service operates regularly to the
Aran Islands from just outside Invern, Co. Galway.
Inishmore Island
The quality of shore, beach and rock angling on Inishmore is very similar
to that of Innishere: plenty available and very few anglers around to
enjoy some of the best sea angling available anywhere around our western
coast. Deep sea boat angling, all of which is only a stone's throw away
from the island, often provides over 20 different species including blue
shark between July and late September.
The island is the largest
of the three Aran Islands. There is first class hotel, guesthouse
and self-catering accommodation on the Island. It has a number of
nice public houses and good restaurants. There is daily access by
ferry from Doolin in Co. Clare, Rossaveal Pier and Galway City.
