Had a call from Cork based angler Mike Walsh yesterday.
Fishing from his New WildCat 40, Ocean Ranger, off the Old Head Of Kinsale he had six blue sharks during a hectic three hour session.

Going to give them a few good goes in Ardmore Bay this year. So far it's looking like a good summer for fishing.
