Galway Bay Sea Angling club were fishing Little Killary at Glassilaun, Connemara for the third leg of the 2022 Master Angler.
Weather conditions were well suited with a breeze picking up to the angler backs. Rain stayed away for most of the day thankfully. Anglers fished 2 hrs each side of High tide.
Congratulations to our junior member Danny Harty who took 1st place in the junior section with 4 dogfish; Ailbhe Hartnett took second place. That’s the first win of the year for Danny – well done!
Success didn’t stop there for the Tawin Island men, Colin Harty took first in the senior competition with 15 fish. (14 dogs, 1 Thornback Ray). Colin even had 4 dogs on a 3-hook trace – when you’re good you’re good!
Colin was followed by John Cunningham in second with 8 fish, having a good run of fish in the last hour. A tie for third place was won by Brian Reidy with the longest dogfish. (4 Dogs)
Thanks to all the anglers who fished today, as always fantastic to get out and wet the lines as a group. Leg 4 will be the 14th of August.
