Skipper of the Sarah Marie, Colm Sliney, operating out of Ballycotton on the eastern edge of the Cork Harbour Angling Hub grounds, reports that his season is really after picking up. Mackeral have now shown up in numbers providing a plentiful bait supply. The biggest plus, though, is the abundance of good cod.

On many of his favoured marks good numbers of cod are showing and many are of a good size. The best in recent trips has been this whopper of 21lbs.


Colm is hopeful that its a sign of good fishing for the remainder of the summer season. If you’d like a trip out on the Sarah Marie targeting these cod you can contact Colm on 021 – 4646002 or 086 – 3867697. Check out the Sarah Marie’s website for more details here
