Charter skipper John Brittain from Bluewater Fishing in Clifden says recent fishing has been excellent, with up to 10 species a day, and great numbers of good size pollack, ling and other species abounding. Mackerel are proving plentiful at the moment, which is helping matters. With the current spell of fine weather, sea angling should be really picking up over the next few weeks as water temperatures improve further.
