The best website for boat angling in Kerry, Ireland

Our day starts fishing for mackerel for bait and for the pan if required.

There are several types of fishing in the area.

Bottom fishing: At anchor this method is best suited to catching conger, ling, pouting, Pollock, ray, skate, dog fish,bull huss and many more species (you never know what might come up).
Drifting: This is an excellent type of fishing due to the amount of different types of species available to catch and the variety of catch it can yield, everything from cod , Pollock, whiting, haddock, ray, flats, ling, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse grey and red gurnard, pouting, mackerel, coalfish,
Pollock Fishing: We normally drift for Pollock over specific grounds and areas. There are several methods including jigging, spinning, pirking,the use of shads and a slow retrieve method using a sand eel or a strip of mackerel. All of these methods are excellent sport using light tackle.
Shark Fishing: This is normally done in the months of August and September when the water temperature has risen. Its is best suited to fishing four anglers on board, it can be a long slow day of waiting so be prepared but when the action starts it more than makes up for it.

You do not have to decide what type of fishing you would like to try because we can anchor for part of the day and drift the rest or if you are happy with the fishing at anchor we can stay anchored or we can stay drifting if the fishing is good. But sometimes the weather or the tide will decide for us but what ever happens we hope you will have a successful and enjoyable day and we do our very best to get you fish.

We will put you over them but you have to catch them and we will give you every assistance and advice you require.

FISHING GROUNDS

The fishing grounds cover from the lighthouse on Valentia, up east into Kells Bay, North of Valentia along the back of the island down to Bray Head at the end of the island and on the the Skelligs and the deep banks which are between 3 and 10 miles from the end of Valentia, or the famous and beautiful Blasket Islands.

Sometimes weather will dictate where we fish or even if we fish and for safety reasons the skippers decision is final. We do not take the Atlantic Ocean lightly, after all it is supposed to be an enjoyable days outing.
