Anglers fishing with Courtmacsherry Angling have been getting a good mix of species.OnWednesday they 17 sharks boated in 3 hrs, fishing off seven heads Courtmacsherry. This was followed up with a mix of ling, cod, pollack and conger fishing. At the weekend it was more of the same with a bit of bass fishing added to the mix.
Mark Gannon tells us that on Monday fishing was tough on the wrecks as the east wind meant every fish was worked hard for. The sharks didn’t help either at one stage they were loosing fish like 10 kg cod to as many as 25 sharks around the boat.
At Union Hall, the two boats in the Irish Deep Sea Charter fleet, Boy Scott and Rod’n’Reel have had some more good shark fishing and also have been able to produce plenty of ling, cod and pollack. While most of the times the big bites are coming from blue sharks every so often something different gives the bait a tug. One angler got very excited when a seal pick up is bait in 45m and ran hard. Another angler in area reports a take that stripped 150m of line from the reel – porbeagle maybe?
Tom Collins on Loch an Iasc out of Reen Peirfinished his film shoot with the Polish crew at at end of last week. They were trying for a sixgill shark on rough reef. Unfortuantely the hook ups did not produce fish for the cameras. Each shark played close to the sea bed and he first frayed the 60lb main line on the reef. The second fish swam around for a while also fraying main line but decided to circle the boat. When manoeuvring the rod around the anchor rope Tom had to give some slack and he reckons it may have rolled once or twice in the 300lb leader. Shortly after it bit straight through. It’s a change of tactics for the next outing – 100lb mono main line with 15 foot of 49 strand wire leader to 5 foot of 49 strand hook length.
