Sean Maguire, skipper of the Lady Gwen out of Kilbaha, reports on good fishing for guests over the weekend. They enjoyed pretty nice weather on both days, if a little choppy on Saturday. Species caught included pollack, coalfish, cod, gurnard and ling among others. And to cap the experience, they had basking sharks around the boat all weekend putting on a show!

Cod

 

Pollack

 

Nice coalfish

 

 

A fine gurnard

 

A very decent pollack

 

Nice ling

 

Ballan wrasse

 

Cue the Jaws music! But despite their huge size, basking sharks are harmless plankton feeders and a wonderful sight to see.
