David and Patrick Hehir of the charter fishing boat Algerine report from from Dungarvan…

We recently opened up our shark fishing season off Dungarvan, Waterford, and within the last week we have landed, measured and tagged 7 sharks, 5 blue sharks and 2 porbeagles.

On our first day, which was a slow day, we had 3 runs and 2 had dropped the baits. But it was worth the wait. On the last run we landed a decent blue shark with an estimated weight of just under 100lb.

Our second day we had a group of guys from north Dublin and on that day we had 6 landed and tagged  (  blue sharks, and 2 porbeagles).

All the sharks were caught on 30lbs class rods which gave great sport!  It was a great day at sea and at one stage we couldn’t fish the bottom for cod, pollack or anything else –  the porbeagles were swimming around under the boat just biting off the baited traces.
