Spearfishing Ireland

Hi Ben

I went on a surf trip to Ireland two years ago but ended up doing a fair bit of spearfishing and diving there. We basically travelled down most of the West coast stopping at Dingle. I was very impressed with the diving there - loads of life and clear clean water. The best area I visited for spearfishing was around Lahinch and Doolin where I saw a fair few 10lb + Bass and loads of Mullet. Didint shoot any though as they would not fit on my camping stove - thats my excuse and im sticking to it!

Speaking to people over there the Beara peninsula was highly recommended for good vis and fish and I would imagine the South coast is very good too.

Ive heard Tuna can be caught there at the right time of year?

Hope this helps but I guess some locals can give you a lot more advice.

Cheers

Matt
