Re: corkbeg
Not joking about 1995.
It was once a great place for Thornback ray but the stocks have destroyed by the constant trawling of the area.
In the Cork small boats competition last year there was only 1 Thornback on the score cards.

 It wasn't a 24st blonde on the beach perhaps?
 
   
   
 As Donal said the area used fish very well years ago...... You would still hear of the occasional bass there though.
Has anyone tried the pier at lower aghada lately. I know of at least one ray caught there a while back.
