Skipper David Edwards of West Cork Charters reports from Courtmacsherry…
04 July: Weather resulted in further cancellations this week and prevented our planned spins to the offshore wrecks. The lads made the most of our fallback options and despite uncomfortable conditions, landed and tagged male and female specimen Skate on Wednesday, the largest measuring 215 cm.
We decided to chance a run further south on Thursday to target Shark. Seventeen were brought to the boat, with another 10 or so dropped. Some of the lads were new to both Skate and Shark fishing and were delighted with their long spin down from Achill Island, Kilfaree and other spots north.
06 July: We were out again on Sunday. This time we were looking for skate and stake we found. Best was caught by Joey Brady who had a great specimen.
Go fishing…
