Into the West, Clare rock mark info?
Guys a couple of us are heading to North Clare (just one day on a tour of the west coast, heading up the way), anyone help with a couple of deep water marks for Pollack and Wrasse we could try? Any info gratefully received.

Re: Into the West, Clare rock mark info?
if youre going to try blackhead or ballyreen, go midweek and early
weekends are full of our can drinking littering mac bashing friends - casting leads and strings of 8 hooks over you as youre "on a hot spot" even though there are 500 metres free left and right of you!!!
a decent cast with fish baits brings dabs, dogs, rays and huss into play in those areas also

Re: Into the West, Clare rock mark info?
if its lure fishing and your travelling light you can find the quieter spots handy enough - the locals can be fairly protective about access apart from those main areas above
