John Fleming from Blue Shark Angling Galway, skipper of the Brazen Hussy II reports that the tope have finally arrived in Galway Bay – over a month later than usual, but better late than never! John’s crew had 6 to the boat on a recent day targeting them, with some fine bull huss also landed.

The recent, and continuing fine weather has been a bonus, with perfect conditions for boat fishing and water temperatures increasing all the time. John has had a Dutch crew fishing with him during the last week, and as well as tope they had some great ground fishing on the reefs, with fine pollack and some decent cod and ling landed, mostly on lures.

Go fishing…

A regular day is between 9am- 6pm from either Rosaveel, Spiddal or Galway depending on species being sought after. Fishing on the inshore reefs for pollock, cod, ling, wrasse, conger eel and mackerel can be reached in 10 minutes from departure, while our offshore reef marks are within 45 minutes of departure.

Our ground fishing for tope, spurdog, ray, bullhuss, turbot, plaice and the giant common skate can all be reached within the hour which ensures the most amount of time is spent fishing.

The shark season usually starts at the end of June and runs into late October, this is the ultimate angling addrenaline rush with these hard fighting blue and porbeagle sharks all being tagged and release safely.
