Fishing grounds off south west

[Danok]

Hi guys,

About 3-4 hours by boat straight out into the Atlantic there is an area for some great deep sea fishing. I have forgotten the name of it and I want to do some research on it. Can anyone shine some light on some of the names out there?

Thanks

Out from where?

I'm not sure,
It's somewhere between Baltimore and Dingle I think.

Found it, it's called the Porcupine Seabight.

Lots of small tuna out there, to trolled lures. Great fun on spinning rods and braid. 400-4000m deep mind, and 50-60miles from safety. Needs a big and powerful boat to do safely. Went out for 3 days once with a rich guy and his game fishing crew (40ft sportsfisher) and we burnt €2500 in diesel. Last commercial vessel I heard of in trouble took 28hrs for the lifeboat to rescue! We've looked for a window in the weather to get out there and back, in safety in a 30ft boat, for years, but it just never happens with the Atlantic!
