Over 20 species for German sea anglers along North Mayo coast
Sea anglers Lars Berding and Arne Seiberlich from Hamburg, Germany, experienced some excellent boat and shore fishing along the North Mayo coast during the week.
They started off with two days on board charter skipper Donal Kennedy’s boat Leah fishing Killala Bay. The weather was perfect on both days and, as a consequence, Donal was able to put them on the best drifts. The result was phenomenal with over 20 species caught over the two days. Amongst the fish caught were five species of ray, various flatfish including turbot and brill as well as grey, red and tub gurnard to name but a few.
Later in the week the two German anglers tried several shore marks along the North Mayo coast but it was Lacken Strand north of Killala that rewarded the anglers with several flat fish and two fine sea trout.

Steve said: “The World Pairs is without doubt one of the highlights of my year, the fishing is fantastic and the scenery has to be experienced to be believed. Last year, my brother Phil and I were lucky enough to finally win the World Pairs after being runners up the previous two years. This year, of course, we will be trying our best to retain our title which won’t be easy looking at the talented field of anglers. I just can’t wait to get there now!”
Ireland’s wild waters might be fishing their head off right now but we still need to be sure to put you on the right match waters.
