Peter Turner wrote to us back in 2019 to tell us af a fine shore caught Tope from the Shannon Estuary. He has been back fishing the same area in recent weeks, and while the tope haven’t been showing, he has been getting some conger to circa 20lb from the Ballyvaughan area and some decent thornback ray to circa 11lb from Tarbert.
Pete encouraged his cousin Paul to join him, along with his wife Emma and daughter Evie, as they had not fished before. Emma managed to catch a couple of small coalies, and the family seemed to enjoy the whole experience and were fully engaged in keeping an eye on the twitching rod tips as fish knocked at the baits.
