Exit Lough, Turn North, About a Mile and a Half offshore, Pretty Clean ground, or you can go further on up and drift down the Outside of the First Main Buoy you come to, think it marks the start of the Butter Platty Reef System, The Ling and Cod Pictures are on my Website, Hit the WWW button then go to Pictures, They're at the top.
