redox, basically aim to fish it over the low water at fahan if you can, 3down 3 up.

Have heard if you fish in woodstown waterford. Fish at very low tide ( a good walk out as this is a very shallow beach) , try to cast out to main channel and you might have a hope of a thornie

Hi Daven,

have heard that too but never caught one.
A friend of mine had 1 from Tramore Strand (sandhills end) about 150 yards out trolling a piece of Mackarel behind the boat.

Said they were over a sandbar during the day.

Food for thought, never heard of them being taken on Tramore before!!
