don't know aidens number, but i have fished the island. the ferry usually runs on a bank holidays and sundays. you can expect pollock, codling, mackerel, pout, wrasse, conger, dog, huss and a chance of a hound at distance towards the muglins.

Just rang that number Gazo and he wasn't there but the person that answered the phone told me he no longer does that service and said no baots go to Dalkey.

Anybody got any ideas or know of another service?
