Is it safe to go with 18ft Lynch boat in Galway bay?
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2020 7:52 pm
Hello All
Last year I got an 18ft Lynch boat with 15HP 2ST Yamaha and I used it a lot on Lough Ree Last summer.
I would like to use for Mackerel, Cod or Pollack fishing in Galway bay.
I wonder if some can advise is it safe to go out in good weather on low wind and waves in such boat and what?
I also look for slipways to put the boat on the water. For the moment I found one place close to Blackhead lighthouse, one on Nimmo's Pier Galway and one at the pier of Spidle.
Also if some know some spots in Galway bay not far from the coats line worth checking and other slipways close to the places it will be great
Most the time I go out I would be alone so if some are interested to join me I can have one more in the boat to keep company.
Once I went to Blackhead lighthouse for a quick try and 2 of us got around 30+ Makerels averaging 600 grams.
Thank you in advance and hopefully will be able to put some good reports with photos for fishing in the Galway bay
