silver foil of a monster munch wrapper whipped on for an attracter

i've tried this before and it seems to work sometimes, wrasse and plaice...

...........always said the west coast was hot!!

cracking fishing lads you must have needed a good pile of chips to accompany those tasty pollock . i've been hearing rumors of blue fin tuna being taken round that area, (allbeit small ones) any truth in this

not sure about the shore but there are charter trips out of killybegs that fish for tuna. have seen pictures of some cracking bluefin!

Cracking fish well done!!
