Siegy Graber, skipper of Sioux out of Valentia Island, reports on the charter boat fishing out of Caherciveen…
We had a mixed week for our group from Germany. They caught 293 pollack, 2 cod, 18 coalfish, 4 ling, 10 pouting, 1 grey gurnard, 1 cuckoo wrasse, 2 poor cod, mackerels and sandeels.
Meanwhile anglers from the shore, fishing with John Quinlan of Thatch Cottage Ireland in Caherciveen, have had some action on lures. At the weekend it was grey skies yet again but there were some nice pollack and bass for Simon Lewis.
Meanwhile Tomasz Ekert reports in his blog Sea Bass Hunting the bass fishing in Kerry has been fairly slow. He is still getting some fish for the tagging programme – tag number 1006 goes on a decent fish which fell for a surface lure.
Go fishing…
