West Cork and District SAC report on their latest competition fished at Ballymacoda last weekend…
Ballybrannagan was supposed to be the venue for our latest club competition but unfortunately the beach was destroyed in weed so we used Ballymacoda as the backup venue.
Lines went out at 6pm and most anglers had fish on the first cast, small school bass and silver eels. The fishing continued like this for the first two hours and Fiona Ryan was the early leader followed closely by Derek Kenrick.
Troy Francis on peg 2 after a slow start, started finding fish regularly and continued this for the remainder of the match. Troy’s 13 fish were enough for him to seal the win on the night.
A bass for Derek in his last cast was enough for him to get second place just beating Fiona, both anglers had 10 fish each.
1st – Troy Francis – 13 fish – 357pts
2nd – Derek Kenrick – 10 fish – 280pts
3rd – Fiona Ryan – 10 fish – 268pts
4th – Stephen O Donovan – 7 fish – 194pts
5th – Barry Connelly – 5 fish – 177pts
Colin Kilbride won the round fish pool with a bass of 36cm and Barry Connelly took the flat fish pool with a surprise painted ray of 63cm. Well done lad’s.
Species on the night consisted of bass, silver eels, flounder, plaice, smelt and painted ray.
Go fishing…
