The South Arm saw most of the action last week with Gibbets Gorse, Manton Bay, Lax Hill and around Browns Island being the main areas.  A few boat anglers fished back up the extremes of the North Arm and caught well on the Saturday and Sunday.  The best methods for boat anglers have been floating line with a buoyant fly on the point, small floating fry or boobie on the point with diawl bachs/crunchers (pheasant tail) with green metallic rib or holographic cheeks working very well.
