Re: West waterford tope or smoothhound 16/6
Nice smoothie. Although some tope to do feed on squid, crabs and invertebrates they are primarily a hunter of bony fish so you are far more likely to catch one on a fresh fish bait than on peelers.
Just out of interest anyone caught an adult tope on peeler or heard of one being caught??
