Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

Fish Little Killary to the southwest of the main Killary. Clean bottom and almost guaranteed ray at this time of year. The main Killary is very deep, very snaggy, and a tackle graveyard.
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!
