Charter Advice

[mrjed]

Hi There,

Im new to boat fishing, could someone recommend a good charter boat anywhere in Ireland for catching something exciting? Willing to travel, starting to get fed up catching tiddlers at the shore!

Cheers,

MrJed

There are a few boat based out of Cork. PM Mohawk who in online here. He runs an excellent Charter down that way and I'm sure he can squeeze you in on an existing booking if there is room. It's a long drive, but should be worth it during the summer.

You don't want to be going to Cork. That's an expedition from where you are, that is.

Go West, Go Donegal. It's a couple of hours in the car, and the fishing's as good as anything anywhere.

Try Michael McVeigh (Rosguil) or Trevor Ryder (Bonito) out of Downings.
