where in clifden bay were you fishing?

i was fishing on the sky road side of the bay,tried two spots,one is very good for ray and dogs,i know it is a bit early for ray
the other spot is good for pollack

i know the white lady is supposed to be the best but it was a bit open to the east wind,the two spots i fished had a bit more shelter

fair play gfkelly - say you had some craic with the balloon rig in the wind

blanked myself yesterday as did others i was talking to around the bay

keep at it

I fished a spot up your way on saturday and got a ray about 5lb and that was it for the day,what a nice part of the country to fish.
