the ballan seem to be one of the commonest winter fish around this vicinity,
even rising in the water to take unbaited pollack rigs, first time ive seen a

Nice fishing lads what kind of depth where ye hitting the Ballan at?

hi fisherking,

if you were to ask the marine biologists they would tell you the ballans are
found in depths up to 20 meters, i guess nobody told the wrasse cause
we were getting them in over 40 meters !
