Fishing Adventures Ireland and Skipper Séan invite you to explore the beautiful Loop Head Peninsula on the Wild Atlantic Way. The company operates out of Kilbaha, County Clare. That small fishing village is located just a mile from Loop Head lighthouse in a sheltered bay.

Your fishing trip will begin early in the morning. Skipper Séan will greet you with a warm welcome aboard the 'Lady Gwen II', a 33' Lochin boat. She is a spacious and comfortable craft, built in Rye Sussex. The Lady Gwen II was uphauled with the state of the art navigational and fish finding electronics by Simrad and Garmin.

The Lady Gwen II comes powered by a 265 HP Perkins engine. She is outfitted with rods and reels by the leading brands, such as Abu Garcia, Penn, and Shakespeare.

You will be fishing the reefs and sandy bottoms of the Shannon Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, using a range of fishing techniques, such as drift fishing, jigging, and bottom fishing.

The list of your potential targets will include crème de la crème of the local waters. You will be able to get your hands on Cod, John Dory, Haddock, Conger Eel, Pollock, Ray, Skate, and Whiting to name a few. There are also a few octopuses around, along with Porbeagle, Tope, and Blue Sharks.

Fishing Adventures Ireland will provide you with gear and tackle, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Amazing scenery, caught a lot of fish however the captain hid several fish from us thinkinh we didnt notice. Had he asked we woild have gladly shared as there were only three of us. Also didnt appreciate him telling us multiple times we can “take our own fish off” despite paying for the service as if it were an inconvenience for him to do so. Overall it was a decent trip but wouldnt ever book with this captian again because of the sneaky behavior and underhanded comments. To each their own but fishers beware.

Reported catch:
Pollock
John Dory
Tope Shark
Response from Captain

What can I say 🤔 You will have to see for yourself. Fish are covered to keep them out of the sun. Everyone of course can take their catch, and I even fillet their fish for them. Regards Séan
