LRF in Galway?

Hi Lads,

I'm considering getting myself a new lrf set up. I've been reading up on it and it seems like it could be serious craic. Seeing as the majority of fish I seem to catch ain't that big in the first place,it might make fishing all the more interesting!

I was wondering if anybody has anyone any experience with this style of fishing around Galway City? I was thinking that down at the docks and around Nimmo's pier might have potential. I'm trying to think of places close to the city where I could end up heading for an hour or two on a whim, instead of having to plan a bait fishing trip.

Thanks in advance

Hi the two spots you said will defo hold mini species, if you wrerto walk away from the pier away from town loughatlia ren more there is a beach I yous to fish but only in day light. . . . It has small flounder and minis on it too I never really fished itin the summer months so it colud be a hot spot but there is a good bit of Bush in done there so eyes open. O talk to drew on the site he is theman to suggest tackle and gear with.

Thanks for the info Dan! I'll keep it in mind. Now all I have to do is pick up some lrf gear and get fishing!

The slipway in salthill from low water up and the end of the pier in spiddal are two excellent spots for a variety of mini species.

Cheers Seaniebo. Thanks for the reply! By the sounds of things there seems to be a few spots around galway that are suitable for lrf. Most of the stuff I have read about lrf focuses around large harbours and I was a bit worried that I might have been wasting my time (and money) with this style of fishing in Galway. Hopefully it won't be the case!
