Re: Ballycotton???
i was on the pier around the end of november and we were getting plenty of doggies, almost 1 every 2nd cast. whiting were there too but mainly small ones. in the 3 hours we were there we only had about 4 decent whiting and countless small ones but doggies were the main thing biting.
baits we were using were squid, mack and lug.
