Vincent O’Rourke reports:
Summer eased into Autumn and suddenly the weather improved to ideal angling conditions on Sheelin last week. The sedge fishing is still good but seems to be easing back a little. Niall Carpenter from Balbriggan had the best fish of the week just over 4 ½ pounds which he caught on Friday evening just off Wilson’s Point fishing a wet daddy. Niall had three other fish for the week all in the 1.5lbs area.
John Bourke from Trim had a great days fishing on Friday with Mick Kelly. They had 12 fish between them with John’s best being a beauty of 4 ½ pounds and Mick’s top fish a 3 pounder which he located in Goreport Bay.
Peter Boyle from Monaghan had three nice fish up to lunch time on Saturday, the best of which was a 3 lb well coloured fish. The fish were caught on a Muddler fishing off Lynch’s Point.
Two young local lads Conor Harten and Jimmy McEnroe had a nice day trolling on Saturday. They caught lots of good perch and a beautiful Sheelin Brownie of 3 ½ pounds – all of the fish were returned.
