deffo surface fishing for mullet......you just cant beat the masive swirl on the flat calm surface and then see the line tighten.....magic.

So far I like best fishing for asp. As for the sea fishing, it is cod on a light spinning tackle. Of course I didn't catch a bass in Irish waters yet, so I think that my fav list will change :)

When fishing a light I mine light rod and 6 feathers in Howth of the rocks for Mackeral and you get a full house and they take you all over the place or if you get a seal chase you in and its you against that seal what a buzz.
Maybe I am a bit sick of the cold wheather at the moment and looking forward to the summer.

float fishing for big wrasse. i spend a lot of my time sea fishing doing it, i love seeing the float bury and then hanging on to a 5 pounder

close on that would be mullet, pollock, ray, big trout on light gear, tench, pike, catfish....i will stop there

bass in shallow water nothing like seeing one power though 8 inches of water like a train with no brakes and your reel screaming for mercy while your legs turn to jelly and your heart does overtime what a buzz :D

Bullhuss and Ray in deep water, great fighting. Wrasse get boring after a while but one or two sessions a year is good fun.

Ray brought in over any ground. They don't have to be big but just in numbers. I like to fish over mixed ground with big baits on 4/0 penels.

Black Bream. One of the best fighting fish in the sea, and one of the tastiest too.

conger, thornies, pollock and big wrasse

have to agree with Estuary Lad.. nothing quite like a ray that is swimming the opposite way and all you can do is hold on to the rod for dear life.. and when you catch a lively huss above 9lbs they can give you a good fight..

The Humble Coalfish, Always willing to bite, and always lets you know its on the end of the line. I could catch coalies all year. 8)

conger no doubt still impressed by their power, close seconds being ray and last summer mackos on 4lb line and a spinning rod rated for 10grams. . .
