Beach in Galway Bay for beginner

#1 Post by antimausas »

Beach, rigs, lures, time, what I need to catch first fish?
Thanks
My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

i would recommend you do a search of the site for this information - a seasoned angler could spend hours answering those questions

Best fishing at night? when the water is coming back? Where can I find razorfish? You can tell exactly where the beaches around Clifden?

Would have to agree.

A lot of anglers spent a lot of time and money trying to gather the information you are looking for in one post.

Doing a “search” on the site will give you a good insight to a lot of the information you are looking for.

You’ll have to take your time and as soon as you start finding good venues or known venues that are turning up a few fish you will find posters will be willing to do a 1 on 1 trade off when they see your angling reports.
