Killybegs Mariners report on their penultimate league outing…
Sixteen anglers lined the beach last week for the penultimate league outing of the season on a dead calm blue sky evening which gave one of those beautiful crimson sunsets over the village of Inver.
Hopes weren’t high with the calm conditions but there was a nice run of flounders zooming about when wading out and a lot of small fish undersize of our 20cm minimum and mostly in the low or mid 20s with the longest being 34cm for Cormac and a 31cm for Stefan along with 30cm fish for John C and Darren.
A few nice doubles were got along the beach with a nice lead for Stefan early on which was slowly eroded by our man returning from a serious back injury Cormac Burke who was seated in a deck chair all evening and just dropping out very light tackle very close in which found a nice run of big fish to level the amount caught at the end of the night but the longer sizes meant winning well in first place. Pretty sure after a few months laid up that was very enjoyable…well done!
Longest flatties money was €46 split between John Cunningham and Darren Rawdon with 30cm flounders.
2nd overall with 141 points winning €46 was Stefan Martin
And 1st overall with 168 points winning €92 was Cormac Burke.
Well done to all out enjoying the fishing!
