David Edwards of West Cork Charters was back out last week on an all nighter but unfortunately the fishing was not as incredibly productive as the last time. Still the anglers did manage 2 lovely specimen skate.

At the weekend David got on the honour roll himself and landed this lovely fish on fine soft day.
It wasn’t exactly blazing sunshine in Courtmacsherry Bay on Monday. A soaked David landed a 188cm Irish specimen Skate to brighten things up a little for the science team on board 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.
