I'm lucky to get out fishing once a week so I have to temper my goals. I don't know about having a woman glad to see me out fishing 3 times week as I'd be a bit suspect about why she'd want me out of the house :lol:

I'd like to fish a few newer marks for me without traveling great distances. Firstly I'll up my species earlier in the season with more scratching starting from now. I'd like to catch ray earlier in the season around april so I'm going to target beal, carrig SE and the forest in foynes I don't know much about these maaks but I hope to learn. I hope with the bypass in ennis I can try abit of plugging on the clare coast after work on the summer and my free sundays are no longer going to comps as these have been very poor but rock fishing in clare and north kerry. In the autumn I hope to switch to bass surf fishing on the clare coast.
