Who said anything about Galway/Salthill? :? :roll:
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

ok,

are ye interested in trying an unknown mark about 26 miles from Galway.

I've had an interesting summer there, between pollock, ray (Thornback, smooth), wrasse up to 5lbs, etc. Even the odd JD turn up.

My shore skills are not the best, i'm more of a boat person.
