The season is really heating up now off the Clare coastline. Skipper Luke Aston has had a varied week with some decent weather at times, allowing them to get offshore, but with the backup option of the Shannon estuary when it blows up a bit, his guests rarely miss a day’s fishing.
A return to the sixgill shark mark that was successful last week found no sixgills, but there was a decent consolation with three porbeagle sharks, as well as double figure bull huss and spur dogs.
A day in the estuary seemed dauning with no fresh mackerel available for bait, but iced fish proved very effective with a number of tope to the boat, all males to about 35lbs, as well as thornback ray.
Regular visitors Allan and Bruno arrived for a week, and kicked off their stay with a drift on the inside reefs for plentiful pollack and coalfish. They headed up river then for some tope fishing, and landed 5 to the boat. The next day they followed a similar gameplan, drifting the reefs and enjoying great sport before another crack at the tope, this time bringing 16 fish to the boat! Great fishing…
Another day proved suitable for a shark drift, and they landed 3 porbeagle shark before it got too lumpy and they had to head in.
Go fishing…
