Captain
Fergus Ward

Member since March 2024 Crosshaven, Ireland

Background: I'm a 69 yr old very active retired guy. I've been fishing all my life. I fished with the Crosshaven sea angling club for over 20 yrs and was a club master angler many times. I know the Cork harbour very well,.
Techniques: Ground fishing is the general type preferred, but I carry lighter gear for spinning and live baiting. Cork Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world and can be fished safely 99% of the time.

Thanks so much Fergus for the half day fishing trip. You were fantastic at accommodating our needs, ensuring fish were caught, and being great company. Hopefully we’ll see you in Australia one day. Highly recommend Fishing with Fergus!

Thanks Wendy I’m sure Francis will have a few words with his fishing mates back home about the mad conditions we fished in. It was fantastic for me to have an experienced fisherman on board. He was a great help with pulling the pots and anchor. Until we meet again. Fergus

The boat was well-equipped, and every detail was taken care of, from bait and tackle to refreshments. By the end of the trip, we had caught an impressive number of fish and created memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Fergus was fantastic to fish with. He knew the species and taught us techniques to catch them. He also was very knowledgeable about Irish history. We had such a fun time and chatting with Fergus was such a pleasure!
