Mark Gannon from Courtmacsherry Angling reports that there was good charter fishing last Wednesday the 8th June in testing conditions from the SW a group from Ardfield Clonakilty led by Fachtna O Connor had good fishing in Courtmacsherry Bay fishing from the Lady Patricia/Lady Louise.
There were plenty of Spurdogs were caught including four specimens over 105cm. Other species caught included ling, pollack, whiting, conger, dogfish, bullhuss, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, sandeel, coalfish, mackerel, cod.
On the Lady Louise anglers hooked 2 common Skate but unfortunately the size of the fish and the swell led to a broken line and a 50 lb class rod parting. Reports were good at the time of writing on Saturday the 11th with so far one female common Skate tagged and released caught by Jason Lee from Cork City. The skate measured 1.86m – an Irish Specimen.
In other news from Courtmacsherry the Self drive boats are doing well inshore with the usual species landed.
