It will depend on the weather mostly. However, there is a huge range of options available from wreck to reef to clean drifting and anchoring up for thornies etc. You will need a variety of approaches to make the most of it. However, a flowing trace with attractors baited with mack strip winkles out most species. Baited hokkais and shrimp rigs work well too as would gilling tactics at the pollack marks. Off the top of my head, afloat in the Swilly I've had all the gurnard, haddock, codling, ling, thornie, conger, pollack, pout, coalies, wrasse, plaice, doggies, flounder and dabs.
