Shark and deep-sea angling
Courtmacsherry offers a variety of sea angling opportunity from wreck fishing, possibly over the hulk of the mighty 'Lusitania' which went down in the first world war with great loss of life, to shark fishing out in the warmed water of the North Atlantic Drift or even in the bay. In the bay of Courtmacsherry one can catch; ling, skate, dogs, conger, coalfish, thornies, whiting, electric ray, pollock, wrasse, haddock, garfish, and of course plenty of mackerel for bait.  It is 30 minutes out to the shark grounds and the 'Lusitania' is only 40 minutes steaming.

Courtmacsherry can offer excellent shore fishing. There is both salmon and sea trout fishing available, on daily permit basis, in the local rivers which are only a few miles away.  The town has three lively pubs, with music in one or another most summer evenings.
