Yes, never heard of a tope being landed from the ladys slip in tramore, and fished it often enough years ago... bass, flats definitely, possibly hounds now but never a tope.

Was out two weeks ago from carne in the boat but we went around to the back of ladies island lake (directly out from where they drain it) and anchored about 400mts max from the shore and we get got 6 and missed a good few runs. I know we were out in the boat but it seams like it could well be a spot to try from the shore.
