Re: SAI SAC Shore Competitions 2018
Hi all,
May I suggest a change of venue to silver strand 20 mins north of killybegs.
Forecast ain’t great for tullan at present and the fishing’s been pretty good there (silver strand) recently.
Marco knows where it is and anyone else can follow me. Similar baits etc. flounder and turbot in close. Bigger turbot plaice dabs and dogs at range with an odd spotted ray.

At 1700 high you might want to start a bit earlier.

Hey Marco,
I’m easy re start time but from chatting to locals and my own experience of it, it’s prob more important to get some dusk/darkness and low tide for reaching the further out fish so there’s more options than just flicking for the flats
