Well, 2013 has started and fishing at Tory has been poor. No flatfish apart from a couple Dabs, no Dogfish, no Gurnards, just a few Pollack, Ling and Coalfish. Bad start to the year – except stopped for Mackeral off Horn Head and had the best ever Herring fishing – well over 100 Herring in 15 minutes along with quite a few Mackeral.

I wonder how things will shape up over the next few weeks. Start May is a little early, but I have had some fantastic fishing early May in previous years.
