ANGLING

Reen Pier, Union Hall is located between Galley Head and Mizen Head in the Gulf Stream fed productive waters of West Cork.

The Stags, a group of battered, angular rocks, lie just outside the harbour, as do many small islands. Just to the east of Mizen Head lies the Fastnet Rock and lighthouse, also known by the nickname Ireland's Teardrop, on account of it being the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants sailing to the United States in the 19th century.

Local grounds include some interesting sandy banks holding Turbot and Common Skate. As you move further west towards The Fastnet and out to The Mizen you will find plenty of reefs and pinnacles seldom fished, these can hold specimen Pollack, Ling and Conger. The numerous offshore wrecks are in 100+ metres, but hauling specimen Pollack and Coalfish off these seldom fished, deepwater wrecks does have its' own rewards.

Summer Shark fishing speaks for itself and in the late summer months we hope to be targeting Albacore Tuna.

Rods and reels are available for hire at 10 euro pp per day inc lead and some traces, bring plenty of terminal tackle traces with you as you are sure to lose gear on the wrecks and rough ground. We always keep a good stock of feathers and traces on board and we can show you how to set up your gear and fish it properly. So whether you are a novice or expert help is always on hand!
