Mixed species fishing heats up with the weather in Clare | Fishing in Ireland - Catch the unexpectedMixed species fishing heats up with the weather in Clare – Fishing in Ireland – Catch the unexpected

Summary
Luke Aston is probably looking forward to a nice spell of weather. The last week has seen some unsettled weather, but they made the most of any drop in the wind to get offshore. Luke’s guests found lots of hard-fighting pollack on the reefs, with large numbers of smaller fish around Loop Head. Mackerel numbers were hit and miss but they found enough for bait. They also had some fine spurdogs and some nice coalfish and ling. #td_uid_2_6a4f780361dfc .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/738416470_1994218871521271_3477855708993707196_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6a4f780361dfc .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/733542532_1994218874854604_3622084769880681464_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6a4f780361dfc .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.
