Glorious weather this week has been great for deep sea angling, with boats making the most of it. In west Clare, skipper Luke Aston reports that coalfish are about in “plague” proportions at the moment, with fish being caught at 3 metres in 30 metres of water! Mackerel have disappeared for the moment, which may be related to the abundance of coalfish. A day spent trying for big huss produced some nice fish up to 13lbs, but no monsters.

On the Lady Gwen, skipper Sean Maguire also had a crew keen on huss, who fished the estuary for a day and landed some nice fish.

Further out in the Atlantic the following day, spur dogs were taking baits, with some big fish caught. There were plenty of pollack and coalies also, as well as conger.
