Mark Gannon reports on the charter boat fishing out of Courtmacsherry…
A group led by Jan Hein from Holland chartered the Lady Louise last week for a day’s fishing. The weather was a bit damp and misty but sea conditions were ok.
We started out drifting on the reefs where great sport was had on pollack and coalfish. Later in the day Ronan anchored on a skate mark and after loosing 3 fish, a fine Common Skate was landed, approximately 120 lbs, and released unharmed.
This was Ronan’s first day skippering after he completed the P5 course in Castletownbere. His fanatical interest in fishing and his boating skills will make him a superb skipper to hire for a days charter fishing.
Go fishing…
