Sea bass, sharks, salmon and wild trout
Sea bass is the favorite lure fish of the British and Irish coasts, from Devon and Wales to Kerry. Offshore, Kinsale, Milford Haven and Plymouth run blue shark trips in summer, and bluefin tuna have returned off Cornwall, Wales and Donegal for tag-and-release programs.
Inland, the River Spey is one of the world's great salmon rivers, and the Irish loughs like Corrib are famous for wild brown trout and pike.
Rules: no license for sea angling, but strict sea bass limits; rod licences and salmon permits for fresh water; bluefin only through official catch-and-release programs.
On the bay, in the mangroves or on the ocean, the everyday struggles get left at the dock. For those few hours, it's just you, the water and peace.
