Sometimes the fishing isn’t all about the catching as it is a very special place to be on an Atlantic coast beach for sunrise on a frosty December morning as the clouds were flowing like a river through a gap on Benbulbin that was drenched in the golden morning sunshine.
18 anglers lined out for our daylight league outing and a double trout on the first cast for Aaron Vambeck raised hopes for a good fishing but there were very few flatties to be got on the day of little surf as trout seemed to be the only thing taking the baits.
Aaron Vambeck on the end peg found 3 good flounder to 29cm along with 4 trout to win by a distance scooping €108.
2nd place with 2 trout and a flounder was Chris Whyte winning €54
Longest flattie prize winning €54 was won by Brian Smith with a 26cm flounder.
And the lucky peg draw of €36 was won by Proinnsias Doherty.
Well done to all!
