    Report on-board Leaca Rua

    This month of May is now finish, it was a very difficult month with this horrible weather. The mackerel are now in Galway Bay and it is giving us the option to go after species. On saturday Kevin and myself were out fishing around the Island, Kevin had a stag party and I had a group of polish lads who come every year. We had a good da...y fishing, plenty pollock got caught, the biggest around 7 pound and between the two boats we manage to catch 3 cods around 4-5 pounds and 10 species (pollock, cod, mackerel, dogfish, sandeel, ling, pouting, grey gurnard, coal fish and coco wrasse).

    I had a group of french lads at the beginning of the month when the weather was fine. We had a very good day, no wind and plenty sun shine. The fishing was great, we were fishing with lures all day, we caught around 60 nice size pollock (average weight 2.5 kg), we released back a lot of them, and 9 cods, the biggest one was 5 pound. There was a young angler on the boat called Francois Appert and he was talking about shark fishing all day, so I decided to go fishing Spurdog. We caught three in total and Francois got two, one of them was around 12 pound, Francois was delighted and didn't stop talking about it!

    May is now finish and we are all hoping that the good weather will come back quick!
