David Edwards, skipper of the Silver Dawn at West Cork Charters, has a short report (he’s headed home for a well earned lie down) on a truly epic angling session…
Just back from an epic 24 hour shark marathon.
We totalled 61 Blues & 2 Porbeagles.
Add to that 13 species including Stone Bass, Megrim and a specimen Cookoo Wrasse!
It’s fair to say that the lads were knackered… but happy knackered.
Go fishing…

West Cork ChartersNotes
Silver Dawn
41′ Rodman 1250. Twin 430 HP Engines
Skipper: David Edwards
Licence: P5 Licence
Base: Courtmacsherry Operational Area:60 miles to sea from ports from Kinsale to Portmagee
Authorised blue fin tuna boat 2025
Notes:The range of fishing found within close range of Courtmacsherry is superb, with trips producing anything between 6 and 15 different species as a norm and in excess of 20 is possible if anglers are prepared to change methods and use different baits and lures throughout their trip. As a rule mackerel, pollock, cod and ling are usually encountered but several species of wrasse along with whiting, pouting, coalfish, bull huss, conger and many more are often added to the catch.
If you do choose to head offshore to sample the superb shark fishing available within 10 miles of Courtmacsherry, there is a very strong chance of encountering blue sharks and an increasing chance of bringing a porbeagle shark to the boat.
