Winner of the Junior section was young Eoin Foley Eoin Angler from Tralee Bay Sea Angling Club with 26 species and 2487 points a great result from a very accomplished angler. Well done to his younger brother Oisin for coming second and Finn Healy in 3rd place.
“Again the terrible weather during December really affected people’s chances of getting out to fish. The couple of notable fish that were sent in are Fiacra McKenna’s Sea Trout of 52cm, Stephen O Donovan had some great fishing with 3 new species hunt records, first was a Whiting of 42cm next was a Freshwater Eel of 62cm and the December fish of the month was a cracking Cod 7lb 2oz.
Over all this years species hunt has been a great success with a staggering 71 species recorded, that makes a combined total over the last 2 years of 76 species. Well done and thank you to all the anglers for their time and efforts over the last 12 months” – Pete AtkinsFollow the link to see all the Species Hunt Records here https://docs.google.com/…/1wbeNxqG5gBpPRJJuow0XMcRyn4…/edit…
