Only one homelyn ray claimed, I put at least 5 back last year on Donegal Bay. Lots of specimen pollack were got on the charter boats but their mostly eastern European clients just keep them to eat. Not a true reflection but an interesting read non the less. Fresh water claims seem to be away down I suspect anglers fear poachers on their venues

Kev its down to pure numbers - far more anglers in the south and east coasts
even the anglers from the west and north travel down to target the larger and more varied species available from the shore on the other coast
