Plenty of Blue shark about in West Cork

Courtmacsherry in West Cork has seen plenty of blue shark about this month.

Recently they had seven runs in a day’s sharking. Three sharks were tagged and they measured 210cms with 80lbs being the largest.

The arrival of blue shark off the Irish coast each summer is totally dependent on water temperature. They can appear in May, but in colder years their arrival may be delayed, until mid to late June.
