Step-by-step itinerary

Deep-sea fishing in Dingle Bay

• Fish for pollack, mackerel, ling, cod
• Enjoy scenery around western islands
• Practice catch and release

The experience

You board a fully equipped angling boat in Dingle Bay and spend two hours fishing the waters around the most westerly islands in Europe. The skipper handles the boat while you work the tackle: casting, reeling, watching the water. Pollack, mackerel, ling and cod are what you're after, though the day's catch depends on the season and the conditions. Tackle is provided, so you don't need to bring your own gear.

The boat has a restroom on board and room for your group, whether that's a family, a handful of friends or solo anglers. A live English-speaking guide walks you through the fishing and knows the bay's rhythms. Catch and release is encouraged, so you can photograph your fish and put it back, or keep it if you want to cook your dinner that night. The two-hour window keeps the trip tight: long enough to feel the pull of the water, short enough to fit into the rest of your day in Dingle.
