Sweet fish. Im just wondering if you wouldn't mind could you give me a rough idea where you head for these. I fish out of Howth also and have been considering targeting tope instead of the usual pollock wrasse dogs and hounds,

Any help would be great feel free to PM me if you can help.

Thanks

Martin
