Stan Ryan was out fishing a competition with the The Borough SAC on Sunday in Kilmore Quay. He tells us that there were 16 anglers fishing on charter boats skippered by John Devereaux and Dick Hayes. The weather was excellent and the water was very calm. Pollock , cod, coalfish, ballan and cuckoo wrasse were the main fish caught.
The emphasis was on quality rather than quantity with many cod over 50cm landed. Tom Butler, popular secretary of the club, was enjoying the fishing when he hooked into something special on board Dick Hayes boat, the Enterprise . This turned out to be a trio of cod , the biggest of the three weighing an impressive 11.5 pounds, the largest cod taken in the area for many years. Tom used baited feathers to lure the big fish, the successful bait was mackerel strip.
