Charter boats operating out of Dungarvan are back on the water after the recent storms. Dungarvan Offshore Charters had the Shaw family out at the weekend. Fishing was a bit slower than normal after recent storms but none the less they still managed 9 different species – mackerel, pollack, cod, coal fish, herring, ballan wrasse, grey gurnard, dogfish, pouting.
Meanwhile Dungarvan Bay Charter Boats have been fishing off Mine Head. Amongst the catches have been some lovely looking ling.

Notes: Blue Shark Fishing can be very productive off Dungarvan and we’ve had some great successes in recent years. Rough ground drifting off Mine Head and Ardmore Bay areas, where Cod, ling, conger, pollack, coalie, gurnard, pouting are regular visitors to the surface.
Wreck Fishing on one of the many WW1 wrecks located within a 14mile radius of Helvick Head, where large ling and conger are had, amongst an often other abundance of large wreck whiting, cod and pollack.
Bass fishing has proven quite popular and productive in the Dungarvan Bay Area in recent years and is provided for on request. Many varying fishing techniques prove productive.
Mackerel Trips are undertaken in the summer months when the shoals are abundant. Uptiding in Dungarvan Bay for Bass, thornback, lesser spotted dogfish and bullhuss is also productive.
