fish baits rather than worm baits, mackerel tipped with squid has produced turbot for me off tramore.. size 2 - 1/0 hooks, I'm sure the local lads will have more an idea where to get them..

all the wexford beaches throw up the odd turbot
species for 2009 (42)
species for 2010 (27)
species for 2011 (12)
species for 2012 (8)
[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]
