Spend a private full day deep-sea angling from Cleggan into the Atlantic off Connemara. Target ling, cod, pollack and shoals of mackerel while watching for dolphins, seals and island cliffs—gear and an experienced skipper included.

Morning light slips across the Atlantic as the boat eases away from Cleggan pier and the coastline narrows into cliffs and offshore reefs. The sea breathes against the hull and the skipper lays out the plan: drift over 15–100 meters of reef, anchor off dramatic islets, and fish the deep blue where cod, pollack and shoals of mackerel roam. The ocean here feels purposeful—currents nudging lines, gulls circling like impatient scouts.
