Hi Steve,

Have a look in the Sligo shore marks info:
http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/shor ... 0sligo.htm

#1 Aughris head and #3 Rosses point in particular. If they're available from the shore here then I reckon you're in with a chance from the boat.

See also Mountcharles in the Donegal Bay section.

Must remember to login :roll:

thanks Adrian, rosses point was one of the places i had in mind as the channel runs out to the bouy, also channel into ballysadare bay might be a possibillity, there is a massive run of tide at both these spots, theres only one way to find out! do you tope fishermen use rubyduby or not
cheers steve

Hi Steve,

Luke Scully aka "The dirty fecker" (A fourm member who seems to have gone awol) is really into his tope fishing, he has his own site with a species section, he does use rubby dubby and always uses a fresh mackeral flapper as bait:

Hi Steve

Rubby dubby tied just above the anchor is best in strong moving tide areas, if the tide isnt a problem or a slack tide you can use a tube, check my old site for info. http://www.topehunter.utvinternet.com/t ... _rubby.htm
their easy to wash out and reuseable, the onion sack is best for the anchor.info on rigs here http://www.topehunter.utvinternet.com/t ... rk_rig.htm
hasnt been updated as im working on a new one.
Female tope dont breed until around 11 years old, so give em a nice kiss and a bit of a swim at the side of the boat before you let em go :)

Hey Terry
Have you put any tope in the new boat yet?
