Killybegs Mariners report on their last league outing in 2023…
Late Autumn now and conditions were in stark contrast to last week’s competition for last nights league outing but with good padded clothing and waterproof gear the wind and rain was at our backs making it comfortable as could be for the 18 anglers.
Fishing a new venue is always exciting to see what different species would be going and changing tactics when it would become obvious as to the target species. Early doors and rods were hopping with good size coleys mostly over 35cm all along the beach and a new club shore record of 41cm coley for Cormac Duddy.
Flounders were scarce but a few were got along with some turbot, whiting to 24cm with the dogs making an appearance late on as the tide ebbed.
Longest flattie prize was a whopping 41cm flounder for Paul Duddy winning β¬52.
2nd overall winning β¬52 with a great fishing of coleys, flounder, whiting and dog was won by Cormac Duddy with 199pts
And in 1st place on the night winning β¬104 with turbot, whiting, pollack and dog was won by Brian Smith with 221 pts.
And lucky peg draw of β¬36 at the van was won by Pat Byrne
That’s 7 outings now and we have had 6 different winners.
Well done to all out enjoying the fishing!
