Connacht Predator angling club PRO Aidan Traynor was in touch with a report from their club competition held on Mask on Sunday last.

 

On Sunday we held our ” Predator Specialists” boat competition on Lough Mask. Conditions were tough with the water like a sheet of glass and the only thing biting for a lot of anglers were the midges. Despite this all anglers persevered and throughout the day teams landed some incredible fish.
