Kiaran Collins of Baltimore Angling tells us that the charter boat Radiance is back on the waters off West Cork and what a start to the season she had.
It was great to get back out fishing again. Over the last couple of days We had huge numbers of pollack on the reefs with fish up to 8lbs coming up in twos and threes, along with the pollack we had a few ling to 11lbs and cod to 9lbs. We also had a mix of Ballan and Cuckoo wrasse, Coalies, Pouting, Poorcod, Sardine, Octopus and Sandeel.

Notes: Wreck fishing, shark fishing and common skate fishing are three kinds of sea angling that Baltimore is famous for, but most of the popular sea angling species of Britain and Ireland are found in these waters. And off Baltimore they are joined by a number of more exotic species, courtesy of the Gulf Stream. Fishing like this is no more than a distant memory in so many other places once famed for their sea angling.
We are involved in tagging programmes with Inland Fisheries Ireland – in which we are tagging shark and common skate.
