Blue shark fishing in the UK offers anglers the opportunity to target these magnificent pelagic predators in the waters around the British Isles. The blue shark （Prionace glauca） is a migratory species that visits UK coastal waters during the warmer months, typically from June to September.

Popular fishing locations include the southwest coast of England, particularly around Cornwall, Devon, and the Channel Islands. Charter boats operate from various ports, taking anglers to offshore marks where blue sharks congregate. These fishing trips typically use chumming techniques to attract the sharks to the boat.

Responsible shark fishing practices are essential, with most UK shark anglers practicing catch-and-release. Proper handling techniques ensure the sharks\“ survival after release. The Marine Management Organization regulates shark fishing in UK waters to ensure sustainable practices.

Blue sharks in UK waters typically range from 50 to 150 pounds, with larger specimens occasionally caught. They are known for their spectacular aerial displays and powerful runs when hooked. The experience of encountering these beautiful blue-hued sharks in their natural environment is unforgettable for any angler.
