Donal Kennedy, skipper of the Leah, reported on a great day’s fishing in Killala Bay. On Sunday 15th June a party of anglers from the Longford area set out from Killala Harbour at 9am for a day’s fishing in Killala Bay. The weather was fine with light northerly winds and some sunshine.
On the first couple of drifts the group caught some fresh mackerel for bait. As the skipper had a plentiful supply of fresh frozen mackerel, the group didn’t want to waste more time and moved further out to fish over deeper water. This was the right decision as drifting over deeper ground produced some nice cod, best up to 5lbs. The same drift also produced many ling up to 7 lbs., pollack up to 9 lbs. along with coalfish, pouting and some cuckoo wrasse. This was the trend for the rest of the day with many more fine fish being landed. Shoals of mackerel also appeared on the scene and kept the anglers busy until they returned home to Killala Harbour well pleased with their day’s fishing.
