The Wexford raiders made the short hop accross the river to Woodstown beach along with another 20 teams, 84 anglers took part in total. The fishing was good in zone A with less fish in zones B, C and D. Catches were mostly whiting with flounder a close 2nd. A 54 cm bass took the round fish pool and a 34 cm flounder took the flat pool. Well done all. Many thanks to John O Brien and his team and the great refreshments at check in Waterford Angling & Outdoor Centre and also to the Saratoga Bar for the awards.
