Cleggan

#1 Post by dave armstrong »

Ten of us have a charter boat booked out of Cleggan for 2 days at the may bank holiday weekend. We have done the same trip for the last 2 years. Loads of pollock drifting reefs but this year we want to target more species and get away fron jigging feathers for 2 days! What other species can we target in this area? We are thinking ray, conger, maybe a skate? Being more of a fly man myself with only 2 true shore anglers and the other lads more into coarse fishing, any hints, tips or advice would be much appreciated. Cant take another 2 days of hauling up the endless pollock! Many thanks! :D :) :D

Best man to tell you what else is out there would be the skipper. If he can't then I'd go with someone else.
