John Fleming, skipper of the Brazen Hussy II out of Rossaveal, reports on some good reef fishing in Galway Bay over the last weekend.

We had Howth Sea Angling Club over the last few says and they were joined today with Joe and son Luke from Galway, along with 2 German anglers.
Fishing yesterday was tough. A few ballan and cuckoo wrasse, 1 lovely red gurnard and plenty of pollack. We hit the sand in the afternoon with very little success.
So today we stuck to the reefs and they did not disappoint. All the crew had plenty of big pollack, best to Seirt Shultz, along with some better wrasse today too. Good sign of bigger coalies too. Much better day all round today. Fishing was very steady, we had a couple of nice ling and pouting as well.

A regular day is between 9am- 6pm from either Rossaveal, Spiddal or Galway depending on species being sought after. Fishing on the inshore reefs for pollock, cod, ling, wrasse, conger eel and mackerel can be reached in 10 minutes from departure, while our offshore reef marks are within 45 minutes of departure. Our ground fishing for tope, spurdog, ray, bullhuss, turbot, plaice and the giant common skate can all be reached within the hour which ensures the most amount of time is spent fishing.
The shark season usually starts at the end of June and runs into late October, this is the ultimate angling adrenaline rush with these hard fighting blue and porbeagle sharks all being tagged and released safely.
