Hi Connor,
Generally daytime but Ive seen an odd good one caught at night.
The north and northwest of the country seem to be the best spots to hit for them.
As for marks that regularly produce 30+ ones they are few and far between.

Re: decent turbot
agreed - especially with getting one over 30cm. you need to put in a lot of hours to get one this big from the shore, or be very lucky!Seaniebo wrote:The north and northwest of the country seem to be the best spots to hit for them.
