To get that kind of info from Gearoid you will have to do what I did… kidnap him,

But your right he the man for that area.

The best time of the year for Tope is from late spring till Oct and any deep water channels from Kildysert or Foynes right up to Loop head and Beal strand or Beal point.

You need somewhere there is a good tail race or a headland with a good run of water slack water can be the best time to start fishign for the tope.

From Dusk onwards is a good time to fish for the tope in the Shannon

Running ledgers with a big tope hook and whole mackerel or even a side fillet would do the job and dont forget the wire trace

Hope this helps

Only ever heard of pups been caught around poulnasharry. Deep water marks with strong tides will produce pups in the estuary but some of the lads have had them up to 6lbs regularly on certain marks with fresh mackerel
