Mark Gannon reports on the charterboat fishing with Courtmacsherry Angling Centre…
On the 27/28th Sept Philip and his angling buddies saw a welcome break in the weather and headed down to Courtmacsherry for a 2 day charter staying in the Coastal Cottages self catering, part of the Courtmacsherry hotel complex.
On the first day they fished in the bay where they caught Pollack, Cod, Bullhuss, dogfish, conger, Coalfish and mackerel. On the 2nd day they were a bit more adventurous and decided to head south for a days Sharking. Ronan their skipper on the Lady Patricia decided to try a wreck before starting a shark drift. Several good Ling were landed to 20 lbs, conger and, unusually for wreck fishing, 2 whopping skate one an Irish Specimen landed by John Mackey, also caught were stone bass and specimen whiting. Drifting for Shark produced fish near specimen weight.
On the inshore front great bass fishing with fish to 76cm landed all on live joeys.
Go fishing…
