John Fleming reports from Galway Bay…
We’ve had some cracking fishing on the reefs over the last week.
Trying some lure fishing with speed jigs for pollack and jigs for wrasse and we had some great results.
The wrasse and pollack were absolutely smashing the metal jigs. We were fishing in very shallow water and I couldn’t believe how well they worked so we will now be stocking up on some of these brilliant lures.
Plenty of mackerel about too and the tope are defiantly here as we got bitten off a couple of time while catching mackerel but unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough to anchor. But we will be on the hunt for our first tope of the year during the week coming.
Go fishing…

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.
