Mark Gannon from Courtmacsherry Angling has had great luck with visiting Dutch anglers. This group had missed 2 fishing holidays with Mark due to the Covid pandemic but this week in lovely conditions they are making up for it.
The crew have caught over 40 Ling to 22lbs on the wrecks. They’ve had blue shark released at the side of the boat to 90 lbs, Pollack to 11 lbs, cod to 8lbs, Common Skate to 160 lbs for Dave (an Irish Specimen) and an Irish Specimen Ling of 35 lbs caught on the offshore reefs for Kees.
It’s still going well today with a large female common skate 2.02m with a wingspan of 1.64 m along with bull huss, conger and pollack.
Small boats
Bass fishing has been good for the self drive anglers with fish up to 6lbs caught.
