Courtmacsherry Sea Angling Centre Specimens 2007 success.

Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:17 am

Well I was browsing through the 2007 specimens book earlier, and it seems Courtmacsherry Sea Angling Centre is topping the list again this year with the most specimens been pulled from our waters..ranging from cod, coalies, conger,skate (not recorded),ling,dab,dogfish,pollack etc.

From my memory and looking at these reports over the years Courtmacsherry has always come out to be be one of the most productive angling centres when it comes to specimens. I would have to say these results are down to the dedication, time and love put into fishing by Mark and his crew, and obviously the 100's of anglers visiting, with most been annual regulars.

Mark and Courtmacsherry Angling Centre is surely one of the most recognised and favoured destinations on the Irish coastline with these achievements down through the years. With the possiblity of a bigger fleet next year - a wider choice of wrecks and possibly some tuna fishing late on in the season could be available.

I came across some nice pics of fish caught off Courtmac - check out the gallery on link to the angling centre, which also gives reports on trips out. Hopefully I'll get my name on the 2008 book with a few specimens :D

81 Specimens in Red Bay,you have to be joking! More than likely they were caught in Scotland, Donegal or the IOM where he does most of his fishing.

This would be typical of the Specimen Report: Skippers will put down their home port, they have little choice. Putting down “wreck 30 miles south west of Old Head of Kinsale” wouldn’t really be feasible; nor would “deep trench in north channel”. You can see every year there are blonde rays caught in “East Ferry”. There was never a blonde ray caught here, it’s where Brian Byrne was moored!

Once an angler realises this he can make judgements about an area. It would be an easy thing to find out which skipper is catching the bulk of the specimens in a particular area.
