People: jw plus 5 lads from cabra sea fishing club
Duration: 2 days
Tide: comes and goes
Weather: sub tropical
Bait: mackerel, launce and rags
Rigs: all of them
Results: pollack, ballans, cuckoo, ling, dogs, whiting, pouting, coalie, poor cod, haddock, thornbacks
Report: According to the old people if the basking sharks are close to
loop head in april then we will have a sunny june and july, which seems to be true.
The water temp is up to 14 degrees and there are plenty of whitefish about. We tried tope fishing
on the beal bar for an hour either side of low water and did not get a single tope run

thanks, i was also interested to hear that a tope tagged on the clare dragoon last year was
recaptured off portugal and a blue shark off the cape verde islands. Remarkable journeys
and a reminder the stock of fish in the atlantic ocean is finite

we caught plenty of thornbacks fishing at anchor north of loop head
the best one was eight pounds
