Sea Angling Ireland

just spoke to eamonn hayes skipper in kilmore quay.apparantly a tuna between 200/300 lbs was caught out of kilmore today.hasnt been one landed since 1960.nice to think there are still giants left in the sea.

Well I can assure you that area is full of tuna and shark. The celtic sea herring fishing the trawlers say the place is full of them. Tope, blues, porgies and bluefin all in through the herring

Plenty of tuna sightings in liscannor bay the last few weeks but haven't heard of anybody catching any "yet".

It was 95 inch - 62 inch girth - brings it to approx 450-500lb - in a 15ft Warrior -the first on rod and line of the wexford coast

Fantastic results. any idea who the lucky angler/boat is. Was it released.

as seems to be common with the tuna, there is a picture of the fish brought to the side of the boat. then it is usually released into the deep freeze of a few of those on board as we do not have any quota for them
