well done on the tope.

i would not mind tryibg my hand at a spot of that kind of fishing.

1. i live in close to bundoran in donegal. is it possible to catch tope from any of the beaches in or around that area.

2. what kind of set up would i need to use ie: rod, line, reel ??

many thanks,

Jesus Christ any fisherman would have drunk his pants with excitement at landing that beast from the shore...

there will never be many like that anywhere in ireland or the uk for that matter on dry land!!
