tralee or clifden this weekend

#1 Post by robbiemag »

hows it goin lads. Want to head somewhere the weekend but am unsure where to go. Anybody out there know if either clifden in galway is throwin up any ray or if there is any fish been caught in or around tralee bay. Ive been to these areas a few times over the last few years and after having some bad sessions wouldnt mind some local info before I decide where to go.

clifden is producing ray for a month or more now,I didn't try for them in the bay yet because I am trying to find new marks around connemara but i know a few lads that have caught ray in the bay,
if you are heading to clifden I will tell you how to get to a mark that I have caught 60+ ray at in the last 2 years,most were 4/5lbs weight but had ray up to 8lbs
with the tides up to 4.8m at the weekend you have a good chance of getting one and the mark I fish you can get ray at most stages of the tide

there are some nice huss around as well,I was fishing with a fellow 2 weeks ago and he caught a lovely 8lb huss

if you decide to head west I will pm you a map to get to the mark or if I am around at the weekend i can even take you to the mark
