Luke Aston from Carrigaholt Sea Angling hosted Hookpoint Fishing Magazine and John Locker of The Fishlocker aboard the Clare Dragoon recently. The target was to tag the first 6 gill sharks on the eastern side of the Atlantic and in doing so, also result in the largest tagged sharks aside from basking sharks in the British Isles and Ireland.
A full write up will be in issue 010 of Hookpoint Fishing Magazine – https://hookpoint.co.uk
The tags used were from the collaborative shark tagging programme from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Full details can be found here – https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resour…
