Productive 2 days with the marine institute electronic tagging skate,(3 skate & 1 Tope) In clew bay they have a few monitoring devices in certain areas and if them skate come within 1km of device they will be registered and logged, that brings the total to 9 skate tagged with them over the last 2 years,,I would ask fellow skate anglers if you catch a skate with an electronic tag in it please treat with care, perhaps avoid landing them if possible as them tags are very important in trying to understand the habits,life& travels of the flapper skate
