TUNA REGULATIONS
The Minister of State at the Department of
Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Mr. Pat the Cope
Gallagher, TD, announced a new regulation regarding Tuna fishing
which may result in a further boost for Ireland’s Sea Angling
business.
‘I am delighted to have been able to open
up these new species to Sea Anglers. Sea Angling is extremely
socially valuable as both a widely available and healthy form of
recreation. Perhaps most importantly Sea Angling is a sustainable
activity and I hope this new regulation will enable many more people
to experience the quiet enjoyment Sea Angling can provide’,

LAST SEA ANGLING REPORT RECEIVED FOR 2006
Fishing report September 24th by Luke Aston,
Clare Dragoon sea angling charter operating out of Carrigaholt, Co
Clare
A TALE OF TWO WEEKS ON THE CLARE
DRAGOON SEA ANGLING CHARTER
Well this is certainly a tale of two weeks! Since my
last report I have had 2 groups of fisherman in for a weeks fishing.
The first arrived with a bad forecast and had a good week with the
weather working out fine. We did 2 days sharking and had a total of 7
sharks, also on those days we had some whiting, which were just under
specimen weight. The Pollock fishing was it’s normal self, with fish
to be found with little trouble. We had some Conger up to 30lbs and a
good days ray fishing.
The second group also arrived with a bad forecast and
by last Tuesday there was talk of a storm. That wind never came here,
but boy did it rain! This forecast made it very hard to stay out at
sea even though it was never that bad. We did get 2 nice days on the
whitefish and the best fish was a 15lb Ling. Mackerel proved very hard
to find, with the best results east of Ross after lots of looking. We
did have some good fishing in the river, but the RAIN!!
Over the last 2 days the weather has been a lot
kinder and today was most productive. We got a box of mackerel
for shark bait without much trouble and they had a good days
fishing on the drift which produced Pollock, Cod, Ling, Pouting,
Saith, Haddock and Whiting.
