Sea Trout – They are Special

Fishing|Judd Ruane|September 13, 2011

Every season I hear… “Isn’t it great to see the sea trout back again”. My usual reply is… “They never went away” Connemara Co. Galway was without a doubt, the recognized sea trout fishery in the country and when the sea lice problem developed into the disaster it is, most anglers thought it was a …

Fishing|Judd Ruane|September 12, 2011

This morning there are 10 mt swells off the west coast… Last week we got the tail end of Irene and Saturday Katia started to blow. I have taken all my boats off the water as a precaution as Pegasus broke her mooring Saturday morning. I have never seen such an “evacuation” of boats from …

My First Trip for 2011

Fishing|Judd Ruane|April 25, 2011

By Friday they had dropped back to a nice easy 3.4 meters. My companion was Steve Tagg from Harpingden UK. This was Steve’s first …
