Small boat fishing or charter? Galway bay and beyond are noted for shark fishing ie. Tope, Blues, Huss, Monkfish and even Porbeagle on occasion. Not familiar with it myself but so says in books i've looked at....

Hi Nige

There is a boat angler on this forum called Peter Kinsella who hails from Clare and fishes the entire bay - he would be a mine of information for you.

As far as I recall he heads off in a RIB and covers vast distances...
