West coast charter recommendation please.

#1 Post by steol5589 »

Lads I'm looking to organise a charter for a few lads in the summer.I was thinking Mayo or cork as the destination and would be looking to do wreck fishing and some fishing for ray,Huss,etc and possibly the option to fish blue shark.I had a bad experience with my charter this summer so I want to make sure I get this right.I know there are a lot of great skippers out there so can anyone please recommend any. P.M's welcome.Thanks again.

The Maighdean Mara skippered by Kevin Mac Gabhann is your best bet out west.

Was out with him umpteen times, never had a bad day. He'll get you on your target fish. Cant say anything negative. Very helpful lad and very reasonable prices.
