Ireland is recognised as one of the best sea fishing spots in the world. The diverse nature of Ireland’s coastline and it’s position on the edge of Europe where it’s waters are warmed by the North Atlantic Drift means that marine life here is extremely rich and varied. Depending on the ground or reef fished and the season, some of the 30+ species you can fish for off the North West coast of Ireland include: Coalfish, Cod, Conger, Dab, Flounder, Herring, John-Dory, Mackerel, Monkfish, Mullet, Pollock, Whiting, Ling, Bream and even some Large Skate. Great sport can be enjoyed on warm days of late summer when using light spinning tackle for mackerel or pollack.
