Burst of sun puts bend in rods in Cork Harbour

Well known sea angler Jim Clohessy took advantage of a bit of recent sunshine to put a bend in the rods in Cork Harbour over the weekend. Mackerel were scarce so the lads had to rely on lures which, luckily, didn’t let them down.

Flat calm & blue skies = great pollack

The blue skies led to some nice fish being caught and also made for stunning photos.

Cod were hungry for lures too

Great grilse run on Delphi

David McEvoy has reported a very strong run of grilse into the Delphi system over the past few weeks, not doubt encouraged into the system by the heavy rain over the past month. They had 83 fish recorded for the month up to 13th July but with numbers varying wildly from day to day. See David’s full report here.

Good cod fishing for Dublin angler Niall

Dublin small boat angler Niall Hogan has been getting some pretty decent cod fishing in recent times. Fishing in the Skerries area he has taken a few good fish with the best being a nice lump of  11lb taken on Tuesday night. Great to see cod of this size being caught in the Dublin area.
