Galway Bay charter boat anglers are getting in some good fishing , even though the inconsistent conditions are at times unfavourable.
Max Couque on the Leaca Rua out of Rossaveel had his biggest pollack this year, 4.5kg last week. At the moment they are getting up to 11 species a day. Mackerel, sandeel, red gurnard, pollock, coal fish, pouting, whiting, dog fish, cuckoo wrasse, cod and 2 big bullhuss over 12lbs. Not only hat there has been some incredible minke whale and dolphin activity recorded too. Check out his Facebook page for more.
John Fleming of Blue Shark Angling was delighted to report that they got their first tope of the year last week. Not a huge fish, but at least a start.
Finally Kevin MacGabhann, skipper of Maighdean Mara, is getting some great fishing with pollack to 11lb, specimen spurdog to 16lb and good mix of other species too.
