On June 5th a party of French anglers enjoyed a day’s fishing on Killala Bay. They left Killala harbour at 8.30am in good time due to the big spring tides. The weather was perfect and the sea was calm while the skipper headed out far into the bay. Mackerel was the order of the day first but as always the skipper was well prepared with fresh frozen mackerel to use as bait. The French anglers enjoyed a cracking day’s fishing catching fine cod, ling and pollack with many of them into double figures.

On June 12th a local party from Co. Mayo set out for a day’s fishing in the bay. Conditions were also perfect and the fishing was steady. The group caught fine cod and ling up to double figures together with pollack, pouting and coalfish.
