No matter what part of Ireland’s coastline you are on, there will be some quality sea fishing available to you. Whether it’s the numerous sandy beaches on the East Coast that produce quality tope, spurdog and smooth-hound, the famous bass marks along the Copper Coast, or the rugged rock marks along the Atlantic Coast where wrasse and pollack are abundant, you will never be too far from your next memorable catch. To help you find your way around the coast, we have listed some of the main angling marks and angling centres on the web pages below:
Deep Sea Fishing
Ireland also has a fleet of charter boats, which specialise in taking anglers deep-sea fishing, targeting species such as sharks, skates, pollack, coalfish, ling, cod and conger. Fishing can be at anchor, or on the drift, depending on the species targeted, and marks can be on clean ground, reefs, or wrecks. A full list of licenced charter boats is available on the following web page:
