Sea Fishing at Dulrush Fishing Lodge

The island of Ireland has for many years been recognised as one of the world’s premier sea angling destinations. The 3000 km coastline is among the most varied and spectacular in the northern hemisphere, with 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.

Ireland’s coastal waters abound with fish and visiting sports fishermen can expect something in the region of 80 species to aim at.

Sea fishing Ireland means anything from a blenny weighing just a few grams to a blue fin tuna of over 400 kg can be expected!

Dulrush Fishing Lodge can organise one or more days of sea fishing for guests.

Sea Fishing Ireland can be divided into three distinct categories:

Shore Angling:

Spinning, fly fishing and bottom fishing from beaches, rocks, and estuaries; quays and piers is probably the most widely practised form of sea fishing, and is enjoyed all round the coast.

Inshore Angling:

Trolling, bottom fishing and spinning from small self drive boats up to 6 metres (20 feet) in length, in bays and sheltered waters (generally less than 5 km/3.5 miles from land) is the fastest growing branch of marine sport fishing in Ireland. From its traditional bases on the eastern and southern coasts, this type of sea fishing Ireland is rapidly growing in popularity and spreading to other areas.

Offshore or Deep Sea Angling:

Trolling; bottom fishing, wreck fishing and drift fishing for shark is usually pursued from purpose built charter vessels. Typically measuring around 9 metres (30 feet) and over in length, these vessels are capable of carrying 12 passengers up to 32 km (20 miles) offshore. This is the form of sea fishing Ireland on which much of the Emerald Isle’s international sea angling reputation has been built.

There are a variety of regulations that apply to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.  Click this link for more information – http://www.fishinginireland.info/regulations.htm
