Inisbofin fishing

#1 Post by skateboy »

Hi folks,
Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm heading to Inisbofin next month and I'm bringing a rod. I'm not gonna bother with bait etc. I'm just gonna bring the spinning rod and some soft plastics, jellies and a metal or two. Can anyone let me know where on the Island i can go to do a bit of spinning, I'm not too fussy what i catch, some wrasse or pollock would be do me just fine.
Thanks a million,
Skateboy.

give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink all day.

reputed to hold lots of sea trout to spinning or fly off the beaches at dawn or dusk, or around low water.
