Hello all.

Get out off the Old Head...In the race... there's some lovely reefs close in and lots of fishing to be done there! If you have a sounder you'll pick these areas easily.

Thanks Jim.I have a sounder and charts from cork harbour to the old head but I'm still trying to learn lat/log readings so I wasn't to sure how far off the head the reef was.Hopefully Ill get a chance to get out next weekend some time.

Thanks for the offer Donny.I have the old maps and I bought the new 2010 tough chart from cork the galley head.So they should give me some idea of where to go.Are the lings far offshore ?
