The west Clare charter boats have been enjoying very good fishing for whitefish over recent weeks, whenever weather windows between the windy days allowed them to get out. Luke Aston, skipper of the Clare Dragoon, reports good numbers of mackerel, and a good size too, great to see so early in the season.

Last Saturday was a pet day on the water, with light winds and blue skies. Guests enjoyed good sport, with pollack, cod, coalies, whiting and the first spurdog of the season made an appearance.

The first spurdog of the season, which means plenty more to come

 

 

 

A double shot of cod and octopus!

Skipper Sean Maguire on the Lady Gwen also had a group out on Saturday, with the great weather providing an easy introduction to sea fishing for a group of novices. They caught plenty of pollack, coalies, nice sized whiting and also grey gurnard. I’m sure they will be back on board soon after such a great introduction.

This fishing lark is easy! Coming aboard 3 at a time for this new angler!
