Target abundant species year-round, including Coalfish, Cod, Common Ling, and Conger Eel lurking near offshore structures.

    Great time catching fish with my son.

    If you are coming in by Cruise show. It's best to know exactly which period terminal the ship will dock. Coordinate transportation logistics with Fergus beforehand so that both are on the same page. The fishing was great as we caught many fish in about a two hour window.

    The weather was already a bit rough but still ok. August might be calmer, especially if you go with children.

    Fantastic gift idea!!

    We gifted this experience to our father for Christmas and he had the most incredible day. He said that Fergus was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating on their trip. They had a fantastic day and caught loads of fish. He absolutely wants to book again for the Autumn.

    First time fishing in Ireland 🇨🇮

    We were very happy with the fishing tour and would book it again anytime. Fergus was really friendly and explained everything we wanted to know. We truly enjoyed the time on the boat as well as the conversations with him. Until next time! Best regards, Mikko & Juhani from Finland 🇫🇮

    Wonderful day, book with Fergus!

    Super easy to find, great communication leading up to date as well. Weather wasn't really on our side, but he took the time to get us out and make the best of it and made sure we caught fish! Nice lunch and tea was included and some history about the area was thrown in also. We hope to make it back again before he retires!
