St. Colmans Cathedral
St. Colman's Cathedral, overlooking Cobh, carries within its walls the traditions of thirteen centuries of the Diocese of Cloyne. It is dedicated to St. Colman who founded the diocese in 560 A.D. Colman was a poet bard to the Court of Aodh Caomh, King of Munster, at Cashel in Tipperary. Influenced by St. Brendan and St. Ita, he left Palace life to become a priest. He received grants of land at Cloyne, on the eastern shore of Cork Harbour, from the King of Cashel. There he founded his monastery, traces of which still survive.

Should your interest in fishing be for Sharks, Conger, Ling, Cod, Pollack or Whiting, Rays, Huss or Dogfish(?), even Skate, we can take you to marks where you have the best chance of hooking into your favourite species. Shark fishing is very popular in the summer off the Cork Coastline and we have caught some large specimen sharks from the John Boy.

Cobh Sea Angling Club
Cobh Sea Angling Club (CSAC) takes full advantage of the local fishing scene, as one would expect. Being based in such a large natural port, there is always somewhere to fish in bad weather, but when the sun shines and the sea conditions are right, there is some great fishing to be had outside Roches Point in the open sea.

John comes from a well known fishing family with 40 years experience in Sea Angling and boat handling. John has won a lot of competitions in Sea Angling down through the years and now uses his vast experience in Sea Angling for the enjoyment of visiting Sea Anglers. While in the care of John you will be well looked after from advise on fishing tackle, to provision of tea and coffee.
