Not joking about 1995.
It was once a great place for Thornback ray but the stocks have destroyed by the constant trawling of the area.
In the Cork small boats competition last year there was only 1 Thornback on the score cards.

:D :D :D
It wasn't a 24st blonde on the beach perhaps?
:D :D :D

As Donal said the area used fish very well years ago...... You would still hear of the occasional bass there though.

Has anyone tried the pier at lower aghada lately. I know of at least one ray caught there a while back.
