Ireland

My dad's family lives there and we go fishing every year. We fish in Donegal, which is in the north-western part. Typical catches include cod, pollock, mackerel, "byons", and salmon & flatfish with a net. We usually go out in the small fishing boat or cast off the rocks. My family has fished for decades but has never tried for squid. My grandad says that every now and then he sees "cuttlefish" in the net. I think it's safe to say that they have somewhat contradicted and disregarded my idea. But I am determined! I am interested in picking up a few jigs and trying it this year.

My questions are:



Can you catch squid there / are they abundant?



Is it an okay time of year?



What types live there?



Any advise or tips?





Thanks!
