South Shore SAC posted a rundown of the recent Leinster Shore League match:
38 anglers from Leinster-based sea angling clubs turned out for the penultimate Leinster League match of the year at Kilgorman last Sunday. Expectations were high as most east coast venues had been fishing very well in the days running up to the match, with numerous species showing up along the coast.
But, as you might expect, when the points were on the table, the fish decided to have an off day, leaving anglers to scratch around for small flats and the odd whiting in the early stages of the match. With the fishing slow, all hopes rested on the evening, as the advent of darkness often brings fish closer to shore where they can be picked off more easily.
While the dusk did see an improvement in catches, it wasn’t the blitz that anglers were hoping for, but that meant it was in the balance till rods in, as a decent fish could easily turn the tables for any angler in contention. In Zone A, a hotly fought battle saw Karl Fogarty edge out brother Ciaran to the top spot. Zone B was won by Gary Foster, and his bag of 19 fish was the best on the day winning him first prize overall.
With one round left to go, three anglers are in with a chance of winning the league, so it’s all down to the final event of the season on 30th Dec in Kilcoole.
