Skipper John Fleming says the weather has made shark fishing a little difficult lately, but with the warm settled spell this week that will surely change.
One trip saw 2 dropped runs and small pup porbeagle to the boat. Great to see the young fish showing, good sign of a healthy breeding population.
Mixed species fishing has been reasonably good, with some nice pollack and wrasse landed.
The better weather this week allowed an offshore trip, and resulted in the first blue to the boat this year, with more dropped runs. We suspect the porbeagle fishing will take off any day now…

A regular day is between 9am- 6pm from either Rossaveal, Spiddal or Galway depending on species being sought after. Fishing on the inshore reefs for pollock, cod, ling, wrasse, conger eel and mackerel can be reached in 10 minutes from departure, while our offshore reef marks are within 45 minutes of departure. Our ground fishing for tope, spurdog, ray, bullhuss, turbot, plaice and the giant common skate can all be reached within the hour which ensures the most amount of time is spent fishing.
The shark season usually starts at the end of June and runs into late October, this is the ultimate angling adrenaline rush with these hard fighting blue and porbeagle sharks all being tagged and released safely.
