The Clare Dragoon has been busy of late, with skipper Luke Aston providing regular updates on the fishing via his Facebook page.
Some of the recent fine days saw them get out to the reefs, where plentiful mackerel saw the anglers enjoy very good fishing for mixed whitefish. They also targeted spurs one day, with over 80 to the boat including many to 17lbs. Some good pollack were also taking the baits.
A couple of windy days with unfavourable northerlies saw them take to the shelter of the Shannon estuary. Fishing at anchor produced plenty of thornback ray, bull huss and some nice tope.
Fishing for pollack, they had a shark follow right to the boat, so out with the shark traces, and shortly thereafter a porbeagle of approx. 1.6 metres was brought to thje boat. A further shark over 2 metres was also caught after a fine scrap.
Go fishing…
