After testing the waters in 2016 for shark fishing in the Celtic deeps, Wicklow Boat Charters skipper Kit Dunne seen the potential and has moved 1 boat to Kilmore Quay until the end October 2017…
The first weekend went out with a bang, Conor Devine’s crew fished 30Nm offshore in the deeps on Saturday landing 7 or 8 Blue Shark and 1 Porbeagle. The mood was great and the craic good as they made the first trip a massive success. Shane Devine had a massive day with his Blue shark and Porbeagle, and he wins the Wicklow Boat Charters top. All prizes will be presented at our awards in December.
On Sunday Henry Kelly, (now known as Henry Sharknado Kelly), started the day with a fine Blue Shark of 78lb weighed, 70lb on calcs, the day ended with the biggest of the day when Daniel O Kelly took a Blue Shark of 85lb weighed on the boat.
All in all its a great start, and a great sign of things to come, now we know we can get Blues less than 20Nm off, and we dont have to go the 30Nm offshore to the deeps.
Thanks to IFI for the support in investigating this area last year.
