Angling

 
Whispering Pines specialises in inclusive angling holidays. Packages include 7 nights dinner, bed & breakfast, 6 days angling and return transfers to Cork Airport.
We fish at depths between 20 and 60 metres and the seabed is predominantly rock. The most common species are ling, Pollack and Conger, both on reefs and wrecks. A 20lb - 30lb class rod should be used with a multiplying reel. We recommend a single 7/0 hook due to the rocky nature of the seabed and lead weights between 300-400 grammes.

Shark fishing commences from mid June until mid September and we suggest you use a 30lb - 50lb class rod coupled with a 6/0 multiplying reel loaded with at least 250 metres of 30 kilo line.

General drifting can produce a wide variety of fish. (Up to 18 species have been landed in one day) Pollock fishing is very good sport with a light spinning rod, fixed spool reel and a Mr Twister or jelly worm type bait.

 

Our three 43-foot, twin engined aquastars (25 knot), which operate from April to October, have been customised to our specifications, with particular attention being paid to fishing space, comfort and speed. Our experienced skippers are always on hand to give advice and help to both novice and skilled anglers alike. All vessels are licensed and have been finished to a very high standard and are equipped with the latest navigation, fish finding and safety equipment.
