Cork Harbour Congers

One thing Cork Harbour is known for is its conger fishing and to be honest we've never really highlighted it here as the cod fishing has been so good for the last number of seasons but here's a video worth watching. Its of a recent trip out on Lagosta II, skippered by Alan Kennedy, and, boy, did the crew have some conger action!!!

Its not unheard of to have boats landing upwards of 60 conger per session. It can be hard work reeling these monsters up from the deep, especially when you're onto your 10th, 11th, or even 12th conger! Watch the video and enjoy! This is what conger fishing out of Cork is all about!!!

If you'd fancy a day tackling the conger why not give Alan Kennedy, skipper of Lagosta II, a shout. You can get Alan on 087-6792796

Summer Wreck trip......

With the weather going through a good spell lately, Alan Kennedy, skipper of the Lagosta II, was confident that the offshore wrecks would produce. With this in mind he brought his next batch of clients to one of his favourite wrecks....and it didn't disappoint!!!

It's a pleasure heading off to the wrecks in these conditions. With a gentle rolling swell, almost a glassy flat sea and blue skies, it was one of those pet days....days when the factor needs to be lashed on before getting stuck into the fishing.

As often is the case on beautiful summer's days like this, the fishing can be memorable....and so it was on this day! A couple of dozen ling were landed as were a couple of dozen conger. The best of the ling was a beauty of 18lbs! Four or five of the conger were touching the 40lb mark! Wow!!! ....and to top things off there were a few nice cod in amongst the mix!
