Fishing on the Wild Swan

Course angling
If you’ve ever dreamt about a coarse angling trip to Ireland and wondered how you can turn that dream into reality, then the answer is at your fingertips. Picture yourself with your first 100 lbs. (45kg) plus catch of bream or winning one of the many angling festivals such as The King of Clubs. With our huge network of rivers, loughs and canals to explore, Ireland is the one of the world’s premier coarse angling destinations.

Sea angling
The island of Ireland has for many years been recognised as one of the Worlds premier sea angling destinations. The 5000 km (3000 mile) coastline is among the most varied and spectacular in the northern hemisphere with it’s hundreds of tranquil bays and backwaters, roaring surf beaches, and miles of awe inspiring sea cliffs. The diverse nature of the coastline and Ireland’s unique geographical position, on the edge of the European continental shelf, where the inshore waters are warmed by the North Atlantic Drift (an offshoot of the Gulf Stream) means that the native marine life is extremely rich and varied. The coastal waters of Ireland abound with fish and visiting sports fishermen can expect something in the region of 80 species to aim at, so anything from a blenny of a few grams to a bluefin tuna of over 400 kg can be expected!

Wreck fishing
Due to the nature of the wild ocean and the rugged coastline of Ireland, there are many ship wrecks which are a haven for large fish catches. We can arrange wreck trips to many locations.

Shark Fishing
Shark fishing provides good summer sport with catches of up to 100 lbs. Prior arrangement required.
