David Edward’s crew had a cracking day’s shark fishing on Saturday…
Three anglers managed to get an unbelievable 30 Blue Sharks to Silver Dawn on Saturday 12 July. The trip was a birthday gift for Brian Warren, he had never caught a shark before so it was an exceptional present on top of everything else.

The day started on a high. The first fish of landed was a cracking 187cm specimen and of course, it had to be Birthday Boy Brian who was on the rod.
The rest of the crew. Altogether they caught 30 sharks including 4 specimens. Catch of the Week hands down!
Starting with a good fish can sometimes be regarded as a bit of bad luck, where can you go from there? But 29 shark followed and there were 4 more specimens landed amongst them. The only way is up!

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.
