Kit Dunne of Wicklow Boat Charters had a group from Howth SAC out with him over the weekend for a club competition, and they picked a great weekend for it, hitting the water just as the spurdogs were active and feeding hard. That resulted in a day of mayhem, with nearly 500 fish brought to the boat.

The eventual winner, David Farrelly, had almost 100 spurs for himself! There were plenty of other species too, including a few nice huss and a tope, and anglers were able to add some new species to their cards before the end of the year.
