Cobh SAC and Cork Harbour SAC jointly hosted the Munster League in Cork Harbour on Sunday. There were 55 anglers fishing from 7 boats on what proved to be a very enjoyable and busy day.

The competition is all catch and release but the rules were updated to further increase the survival of the fish being returned. The move was welcomed by all the anglers and well received by the charter boat skippers too. With almost 4000 fish landed in the event it makes sense to focus on fish welfare.
