Dave Edwards from West Cork Charters reports that fishing is warming up nicely with various different species becoming more active in the past couple of weeks. The most notable fish so far this season are a Pollack of 8lbs and a Cod of 11.5lbs, both falling to angler Andrzeg on the same trip.
He expects to be out chasing Blue Shark soon as the water temperatures are warming up nicely.
Go fishing…
West Cork Charters operates the Silver Dawn, a 41′ Rodman 1250 with twin 430 HP Engines out of Courtmacsherry. The range of fishing found within close range of Courtmacsherry is superb, with trips producing anything between 6 and 15 different species as a norm and in excess of 20 is possible if anglers are prepared to change methods and use different baits and lures throughout their trip. As a rule mackerel, pollock, cod and ling are usually encountered but several species of wrasse along with whiting, pouting, coalfish, bull huss, conger and many more are often added to the catch.
If you do choose to head offshore to sample the superb shark fishing available within 10 miles of Courtmacsherry, there is a very strong chance of encountering blue sharks and an increasing chance of bringing a porbeagle shark to the boat.
