John Fleming, skipper of the Brazen Hussy II is determined to make it a blue shark season to remember for his guests, and he kicked it off in style on Saturday with a fine blue of 84lbs to the boat . John says they actually had a double hook-up at the same time, but the other shark threw the hook before they could get it to the boat. June is early for blues in Galway, so it’s a good sign that water temperatures are up and it could be a good season for shark fishing.

John is currently taking bookings for trips over the summer, to book a day aboard contact him on 087 7571320 or check out www.bluesharkangling.ie
