Tom Collins of Sea Angling Charters in Union Hall West Cork had a week of ‘skate mania’.
Tom describes the photos below as”Common Skate, Tag No. 47907 was caught by Izzak Bradley on June 27th, recaptured on July 3rd by Hans, and recaptured again today by Kees. This female fish was caught at three separate locations within 4 square miles and is a testament to how well we take care of our big fish, limiting the time they are out of water, and handled with best protocol. I understand how some people are against tagging of skate but the feedback is beyond what I expected!”
There’s not many places in Europe where you can catch Blue Shark and common Skate at the same time but Carlsberg invented the West Cork Workout we only perfected it
A real beauty on Monday weighing in at 193lb the biggest of 4 skate.
Also from Union Hall skipper Jim Nowotynski of Irish Deep Sea Charters report fine catches of mackerel this year. They too had some huge skate up to 196lbs during the week.
