Despite windy conditions this week, good fishing continues to keep guests happy on charter boats in west Clare. Sean Maguire on the Isle of Aran reports a busy weekend on the sea with seme great people. They enjoyed lots of good fishing in favourable weather conditions, although still found it difficult to get many mackerel.
On the Clare Dragoon, skipper Luke Aston did manage to find some mackerel out west on Monday with a lovely group in from the south of England for the week. They had good sport on light gear for pollack and plenty of coalfish. The mackerel bait came in handy for the next couple of days, confined to the Shannon Estuary by windy conditions. Thornback rays and bull huss were providing the action.
Go fishing…
