Re: clare dragoon carrigaholt 10/12/10
the ballan seem to be one of the commonest winter fish around this vicinity,
even rising in the water to take unbaited pollack rigs, first time ive seen a
weever from the deep water

hi fisherking,
if you were to ask the marine biologists they would tell you the ballans are
found in depths up to 20 meters, i guess nobody told the wrasse cause
we were getting them in over 40 meters !
