close encounter of the tope kind?

I hooked what I think was a tope at greenore see page 8 mack reports,i was wondering wud there be enough tope in the area to target them ,has anyone ever got any from the shore there ?
The incident has given me my most exciting beach session even if I didmt land em,im itching to try for them properly

i dont know

but surely even if there was only 1 its worth having a chuck cause you never know
