cought asmall orange/red fish looked like ajon dorey??????
any idea ???

all reports greatful.will defanetly try for blue shark this year never got a chance last year.there mackerel been cought off tramore not far out.

plenty of good fish been taken off dunmore recently wrecks producing the best ling cod and pollack head east for rays and lots of gurnard and wrasse and dabs

well bazz any more help on the rays (east) would that be in the mouth off the estury or further east off hook or out around three mile rock?only have the boat since around this time last year and tryed tramore bay a few times with no luck,is it all thorn backs?what bait have you found to be best?

plenty of rays thornies in tramore bay at the moment mackeral flappers about 400 yards east of the slip
other wise if you head up into the mouth of bannow bay there are plenty have even caught them on baited shrimp rigs if you are anchored keep the rod in your hand they tend to take the bait without running and subsequently munch through the line b4 you know they are there if your on the drift you wont have this problem

hi all, just wondered what kind of fish can be caught off tramore bay and dunmore east, are there any cod about, if so where and what is best to catch them, dezzer...........

just south of the Hook is producing plenty cod at the moment. Was pulling them 3 at a time for the last week, allot of small ones but a handy few around the 3 to 5lbs. Was out yesterday about 12 miles south of the hook on the drift and picked up 11 spices. Good day out, nearly all returned, just kept a few for the dinner. :P

that was sounds like a goog day.heading out in the morning hope to try for a few ray proble head in to tramore bay, anyone any reports any where ealse off east waterford,west of wexford would be helpful?
