Never mind light gear. Two rods, a rest, 4/0 penel pulleys with 6oz lead pulling loads of rays over the mixed ground. Magic

I'm looking forward to discovering what's available to catch in my favourite spots of west Connemara, thanks to SAI now I suspect there may be more there than gunner (ie. rock biting wrasse) in there!!

looking forward to a 12 lb plus ray from the beach in spring and a 20 lb plus smoothie in the summer, going for a few personal best's this year hopefully. maybe bat my 12 1/2 lb bass, that would be great.

A Salmon from the local river (ok, not a sea angling ambition but nearly1 :D ), a Donegal Bass, and a Porgie shark or Blue Fin Tuna from Phenwick Mist's boat.

Cmon down the road a bit this summer Tanglerat. We'll make sure you get one of the silver boys on the Eany, can't go wrong when there is a flood.
