Blue shark/Deep dea fishing out of the shannon estuary..?

#1 Post by Eoghan »

Hi,

Did this many years ago aboard the Atlantic Adventures boats. Had one hell of a weekend.
Its my Stag in Sept and want to do this as part of the daytime activities.

Does anyone know how to get in contact or have any other good contacts in the region for this..?

For quality of fishing, boat and service, there is only one choice as far as im concerned and that is the clare dragoon skippered by luke aston from carrigaholt. Top notch.

That would depend on what you are doing, and how experienced the guys are

Shark fishing, 5 at most, unless you rotate

It could take 10 or so at push reef fishing , but if there are novices there is a higher risk of tangles etc

Tope at anchor, I suppose 6
