Fishing Update for November

Galway Buccaneers SAC — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 09:14:07 +0000

Quick fishing update:

Fishing for the last few weeks has been slow enough particularly daylight fishing, but it is producing plenty of Flounders and one or two nice Turbot trying to fatten up before heading off to spawn a few Bass are staring to come on to the beaches and Dogfish and Thornback Ray are still about… Night-time fishing is producing some nice Bass while Whiting are showing in numbers along with Coalies. Flounders and Dogfish still available and just last night from a remote mark some nice Cod with the cold weather set to stay for the rest of the week there should be a good chance of some more turning up… tight lines one and all ~ Conor

Good luck to everyone fishing the Master Angler Shore this coming weekend in Mullaghmore Connacht.

So tight lines one and all.

Galway Buccaneers SAC — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:55:16 +0000

After what seemed to be the tail end of hurricane Katia, a few hardy fishermen felt the need to go out and see what fish were about.

Bait Digger describes it best in his blog Bassing with the buccaneers. So we’ll let him take it from there.
