Don't know any GPS co-ordinates, but from charter trips I've been on there are a couple of reefs not far offshore from the Galway side of the bay, past Spiddal, good pollack fishing. Also between Inis Oirr and the Clare coast there are a few reefs over that way, cod, pollack, coalies, wrasse, etc
You'll find it hard to get GPS numbers off anyone really, you'll have to do most of your own ground work...

i never knew you could get smoothhound in Galway bay. fair play.

i would echo what Kev said about the coordinates i think it will be hard to get them off anyone.
