Re: sharks
ah yes, february is a distant memory now. I've booked a charter out of carrigaholt
for 4th July and cant decide what to fish for. I suspect the blues
arrive a bit later there than cork, being a certain distance further north,
but maybe not. The tope run should be in full flow so that would be an option,
especially if it turns out breezy. Maybe it would be worth anchoring up
and gambling on a big six gill, haven't heard of any caught recently though

Re: sharks
there's only me and tommy so far so there's space. We'd prefer if you could get a harpoon
and some barrels from somewhere as well?

Nothing planed yet this week Kev things are very very quiet



The reefs are on fire at the moment we had 84 congers one day last week and they dropped 20 odd more and in a neap ebb tide, which is the worst tide for conger fishing so it seems the exception to every rule was alive n well that day a few haddock showing up too this weekend

Nothing planed yet this week Kev things are very very quietthis nasty ol recession is starting to bite the anglers in the pocket
today's WX would have been a soaker for blues, a couple of more days of this and they'll be about

Hopefully things will pick up soon Jim,
That's some savage fishing alright. I normally just fish Harbour rock for them myself. Do you anchor for them on the Smiths or Lings or do you have some other marks up you sleve

If I told ya I'd have to kill ya Kev





The rock is a good ol mark but strong tide make it a pain so we usually only fish it for comps or during bad WX.... Good chance to pick up a John Dory "near" there at times

Re: sharks
I cannot believe you are haggling over a Conger Mark out of Cork Harbour Kev.... 

Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial
