Blue sharks - Galway

#1 Post by Tomaszek »

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone of ye heard any news about blue shark being caught recently in Galway area?
Are they there yet?
I would also be very interested to hear what is the water temperature in the area at the moment.

Thanks!
Tommy

Tommy, why not give Kevin Mac Gabhann a shout? He surely will have up to date info on sharks in the Galway area.

Thanks The Austrian! I've already got some info from Kevin-o-centric sources. I'm just checking whether anyone else got some more info.

Or you could try Mary Gavin Hughes, she is an excellent skipper and angling expert as well as being a true conservationist with several awards and prices under her belt.

@The Austrian
Great! Thanks for that.

@jw
Thanks! I haven't know that website. Aren't they the same buoys you can check in Google Earth? I think they are!

another one here Tommy, Neil Gallagher from West Donegal Sea Angling, might be worth a call.
