Winter Species

#1 Post by willhands »

Hi there,
Just looking for a bit of help again, I took up fishing back in March and have had a great summer with over twelve species caught mainly due to the help I have received on the forum. I have caught the fishing bug big time and was hoping to keep it going into the winter months. My question is what fish should I target and do the fishing marks change. I live in east Cork and fish the usual marks around east Cork most of them are well known in the area so no need to mention them any advice would be great P.M's welcome. Thanks in advance.

Below is an extract from the Fox "Guide to Modern Sea Angling" - Shore edition by Alan Yates.
Hope it helps...
