What species whould I expect or target now?

#1 Post by DL.TURBOT »

I only begun Sea Fishing in the summer and found a great mark where I was spoiled every saturday with Bags of Gurnards and even more Turbot, rays, dogs, wrasse and plaice, But ver suddenly after one great saturday, I miss a week, go back and have blanked on the four sessions since! Now I know a lot of the fish I was getting move away in winter,But It was very sudden! I was wondering then what species I can expect from now on?

Thanks - DL.TURBOT

also some places at this time of year only fish well in darkness mate. this is basically because fish move further out to sea in daylight which can be out of casting range but as darkness falls you will find the fish will come close to shore. just one reason why your spot my have stopped fishing well all of a sudden.

Plenty of Turbot last weekend in east Cork. Small though.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D
