Richie Ryan the Eire Bass guide was out with clients during the week, the guide takes up the story. And so my guiding season has started. I haven’t been aboard Sea Hawk very often due to the unrelenting wind.

For me, Pollack on the Fly has been really good , not normally this productive this early.

Two Americans, Nadya Shewczyk and David Mills had a look online and found my business. Interestingly, I put a question to ChatGPT recently, “where can I  go saltwater Fly Fishing from a licensed  boat in Ireland“. There was only one answer, Eire Bass in Cobh Co. Cork! The American couple both had Bass in the first couple of casts, not what you’d expect. As my great friend Kevin McLaughlin said when I told him, “If you told anybody that they wouldn’t believe you!”.  In addition we had plenty of Pollack on the fly, a new experience for them.

Three Australians also decided to book me this week. Brook Harmung, his son Ted and his father-in-law Steve also decided to have a crack off my saltwater Fly Fishing experience aboard Sea Hawk. Plenty of Pollack on the fly were netted and released during a 3 hour session. Even 4.5year old Ted managed to land a few fish. They were thrilled with the outing. Overall a productive few days.

Make a booking…
