John Fleming from Blue Shark Angling in Galway Bay has been in touch to say the blues have finally arrived in the west!
Anglers on board the Brazen Hussy II had the first shark of the season on Sunday week last, despite very tough conditions with a big swell and strong northerly winds. The first fish was a nice female measuring 171cm, estimated at 80lbs, caught by Danny.
Over last weekend the crew from the Boat Angling Ireland forum spent 2 days with John and they landed 2 blues. The first was caugth by Paul Twomey and measured 164cm, approx. 75lbs, while the second fish was caught by Steo O’Brien and measured 168 cm (75-80lbs).

A regular day is between 9am- 6pm from either Rossaveal, 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 adrenaline rush with these hard fighting blue and porbeagle sharks all being tagged and released safely.
