Shore Tope

What are the chances of catching tope from the east coast shore at this time of year? Have the tope moved offshore for the winter?

hope this will help to answer your question:

in summer i recon theres some on the county down coast, dont know about the winter.

Cheers, nice Guides there mate! I am aware that the Tope may have different feeding patterns on different parts of the east coast, especially the Greystones area considering Coalfish at this time of year. Definitely an area I'm thinking of hitting just need a bit more up to date info if anyone can help.

Some great threads I remember from about 4 years ago such as this one
