Donal Kennedy reports from Killala Bay:
On Tuesday 23rd June a party of anglers from Northern Ireland and Drogheda set out from Killala Harbour for a day’s fishing aboard “LEAH”. The weather was dull but calm which bode well for a successful day and it was not long after the first drift that this was proven right with some fine pollack, ling and cod being landed On the next drift, some fine mackerel were caught and this shoal must have tempted the spurdog to show up.

Subsequently, many spur were caught the best well into double figures and many put back alive. Later in the day, another drift over rocky ground produced excellent pollack up to double figures with some heart stopping moments from possibly very big pollack only to break line from power dives. All in all a cracking day’s fishing out in Killala Bay!
