Nice Flounder Aido !. I have fished Castlegregory dozens of times since 1988 and it has changed for the worse dramatically in the last couple of years. In the 90's apart from the dogs the main species I encountered were Thornbacks , with the very odd Painted ray. Around 2003 more Painted ray were showing until around 2005 where a Thornback was a rarity and to catch 5 or 6 Painted ray in a session was not unusual. Then two years ago the rays seemed to have dissapeared altogether , and this year I fished it in June and September a few times and again no Rays swhatsoever only dogs , Flounder and a Bass. It is though a good venue and I have not given up on it yet as it always has the potential to throw up a good fish , a friend had a Monkfish here 50lb+ years ago and I have had a couple of good Bass 11lb and 8lb.

nice flounder there, I was in that area as well there and I was tortured with doggies aswell, I had heard reports of a few painted ray being caught but I never had any.

Julio,
i think we met briefly on the friday at stradbally i asked ya the usual 'any luck' as i walked back to the car ahead of joe and aidan.
