Guys a couple of us are heading to North Clare (just one day on a tour of the west coast, heading up the way), anyone help with a couple of deep water marks for Pollack and Wrasse we could try? Any info gratefully received.

what time or year are you planning, my experience is that you wont catch these species
from the shore till sometime in april

if youre going to try blackhead or ballyreen, go midweek and early
weekends are full of our can drinking littering mac bashing friends - casting leads and strings of 8 hooks over you as youre "on a hot spot" even though there are 500 metres free left and right of you!!!

a decent cast with fish baits brings dabs, dogs, rays and huss into play in those areas also

if its lure fishing and your travelling light you can find the quieter spots handy enough - the locals can be fairly protective about access apart from those main areas above
