Galway area 18.10.12

Guys

I am in Galway with work on the 18th October and am due to finish around 4.30pm and I am looking for a mark to fish the rising tide (HW @ 1952).

Not too bothered if its a beach, estuary or rock mark.

Any PM's would be welcome and marks treated with respect.

You could try the beach at silver strand, should be a few flatties about this time of year. It's just on the road to Barna opposite Barna church.
Tight lines.

Cheers Steve. Any Ray marks around...? Willing to drive 40 mins max from Galway city

You'ld need to drive a but further for ray marks, such as little killary.

40mins, hmm, depends on the traffic in Galway, but if you'd risk a few penalty points for speeding you might be able to get down to a certain North Clare deep water rock mark, just after Fanore, drop into the tackle shop in the village (opposite the pub) and you might get all the finer details if you behave yourself properly (don't forget to leave one on the tab for me in the pub)

if he can manage a 30m lob he should be fine

I left a lot of traces there over the years and I was casting more than 30 meters, seriously snaggy close to shore. I think the bast mark is the far off headland in that picture and a lob of 130 yards would be more like it. Check out sea angler on safari on youtube.

if you want a ray head for clifden,its 1 hr drive but its your best chance of a ray around galway,killary has been quite for ray this year,i fished it last week and no ray between 4 of us
if you decide to head to clifden let me know and i will send you a few marks

[The Austrian]

fair play gf, I would certainly avail of this most generous offer if I were you. And, to be honest, for the sake of driving a few minutes more you're most likely to catch your target species - well... all up to you now

Lads thanks for the heads up on both of these marks..... I thought there were ray everywhere in Galway

To be fair I also thought that Cliffden was in Galway so what do I know.......

GF I will take you up on your offer and will PM you.

Austrian/steve/Joe cheers for the help

your right clifden is in galway but 50 miles from the city,i should be around on the 18th as i will be digging bait on the low tide,low water is at 13:45 and its 0.4m high tide is at around 20:05 5.2m so it should be good for a few ray
i will send you some information on how to get to the mark but i will try to be around to meet you and show you to the mark as it will be quicker for you

pm me your number and i will give you a ring

Nice one gf PM sent.
