Mark Gannon reports that last week the weather didn’t disappoint for charter boat anglers out of Courtmacsherry and neither did the fishing…. Fishing on the reefs produced some great sport with pollack ,conger and ling being the predominant species. A pollack caught by Mark Gannon on a shad weighed in at 12.5 lb., an Irish Specimen and wins our Catch of the Week . The congers were all good fish the heaviest up to 30 lbs.
Sharking is still going well with blue shark to 2.20m for Vincent de Kooter. Vincent’s father landed another over the 2m mark at 2.07m. Olan O’Donovan, only 9 years old, landed a blue of 2.0m (with a little help from the rod rest) he reckoned that it was a way better than the Wicked Tuna programme on the Discovery Channel.
On the self drives, the bass fishing seems to be a bit of hit and miss. A group from Kinsale caught13 in one session, the heaviest was a fish of 7.5lbs, all returned. There are a lot of fish around and the last time I was out they were following the lures but I only had 1 take. It’s all about timing, evening seems to be best. Mark Gannon Courtmacsherry Angling
