Tomás Kiely along with his father, Dorgan, and friends, Nigel and Jack, headed out to the Red Strand in West Cork on Tuesday 18th of April for a bit of shore fishing. Using lugworm as bait, on the incoming tide they had a great evening of fishing. At around 10pm, Nigel landed a gilt head around 2 1/2lb. Within 5 minutes Dorgan’s rod bent and he landed another gilt head, roughly the same size as Nigel’s. About 10 minutes later Tomás was bent into another gilt head slightly smaller than the first two.
There were 3 small flounder caught then and just before they were about to leave Dorgan landed a small bass about 2lb which was quickly released back into the water.
