With the weather turning out much better than had been forecast, anglers from the Drogheda Coarse Angling Club headed to the banks of Lough Egish for a day out on the water. It was sunny with a light breeze and the water was in perfect condition, still higher than normal but looked as it would deliver fish. And it did. Brendan O’Brien took the honours todays match held by Drogheda Coarse Angling Club on Lough Egish. Brendan who was on one of the end pegs was catching consistently all day and finished with well over seventy for the session. Catches consisted mainly of top quality roach, with occasional perch and a single nice hybrid. Brendan pulled together a nice net of 24lbs 4ozs, in second place was Dominic Wilson with 20lb 7ozs and Paul Murray finished in third with 17lbs 12ozs. Shane O’Reilly finished in fourth with a very respectable bag of 14lbs 13ozs. All pegs weighed in at this fantastic venue. Paul Murray had fish feeding actively on the pole line early on but this stopped after a large pike decided that he liked this swim.
