Shark Fishing In The Uk

[tomburras 2,730]

Well iv never done much in the way of sea fishing and didn't know there was any sharks worth fishing for in the uk but while messing about on you tube looking at shark fishing videos I found this.......

What a video and what a catch - of our own coast I'd love to have a go at this one day!

 

Anyone on here tried it?

 

Cheers, tom.

I have fished for blues a fair bit, good fun, but porgies and threshers are the one to go after, they are out there, just not as common as the blues

Recent evidence has shown that the porbeagle is starting to return to past numbers of some parts of Ireland.

Hard to believe that in the 60s and 70s monster porbeagles were regularly caught of the shore from parts of the West coast, but unfortunately were slaughtered too.

i managed a day at skate a fortnight ago. had a female at 177lb and a male at125lb. best days fishing ive had in a long while. its not a shark but still 300lb in 2 fish is a good day. ive had a good few days on the tope with the same boys

allways thaught you nded to go abroad to do this, i bet catching a shark from our own coastlines would be a very satisfying thing to achive.

caught a blue from cornwall when i was 10-11, we had 4 or 5 on the boat that day, but ive probably been out after them a dozen times since and only caught mackerel lol maybe just bad luck? i hear its quite good around south/west wales? i might have another go myself next summer

There was a boat fishing out of Nayland marina that just went fishing for sharks. It was owned by a family that had a garden centre but would take up to 6 people out with them. They fished around the Pembrokeshire Islands of Grassholm, Skomer and Skokholm. I had a day out with them once in September, no sharks caught or seen although we did have a few late tope.

 

The day was worth it just for getting up close to Grassholm and the gannet colony, and fishing Jack sound 3hrs into the flood that was an experience on it's own.

Did you enjoy that day out Ant? unfortunately me and Dan couldn't make it I think due misbehaving! Didn't know you was on here, I herd that you can catch Tope from the rocks in north Wales at the right time of year looks like good sport.
