Skipper Luke Aston says having the Shannon Estuary on the doorstep is a great boon, especially when weather conditions don’t suit getting out to the open sea. Having the mackerel move in this week certainly helped with bait, and the fishing, with some nice fish caught in the estuary. Fish caught included thornback ray, bull huss, the ubiquitous doggies and a couple of lively tope. Prior to that, offshore fishing produced great fishing on long drifts over the reefs out west.
