John Brittain, skipper of the Bluewater out of Cleggan, was in touch to report on excellent shark fishing yesterday, with 10 blue shark boated and another 3 hooked and lost. Two of the fish were very good sharks, near the 100lbs mark if not over. John also mentioned they were enjoying some very good mixed species fishing at the moment, with Brendan Murphy’s group from Kilkenny, on their annual trip to Cleggan, having great sport over the bank holiday weekend with nice ling into double figures, plenty of pollack, cod and various other species coming to the boat.
