really nice pollock - Where are these rocks :?: :D

Would be interested in hearing about some marks around the fahan Buncrana area myself - I've fished off Buncrana pier and have seen lads at lisfannon casting from the beach but I've never found anything deep enough from rocks. What about the dunree side of stragil is there rocks round that side? And what about in round inch - is there a road to the side facing Rathmullen?

Loadsa questions :lol:
