Killybergs Mariners report…

A very busy session for Gavin on the beach with double and treble hauls of counting size flatties of turbot and flounders coming in every cast and having to put one rod away as it was too hectic for a pleasure daylight session which is a great complaint to have …

Flounder

Also, a lovely small eyed (painted) ray for Joshua Green, Proinnsias Doherty and Brendan on Donegal Bay after dark.

Earlier in the week, the club held a beach competition as a fundraiser last night on Narin with €200 in prizes on offer for the winners.

Fishing was tough going but John Cunningham found a few scoring fish close in on the calm conditions to win the event. Second place on the night with dogfish and flatfish went to Aaron Vambeck. Longest flattie with a 31cm flounder was won by Shane Cunningham. Most species with 2 was tied between John Cunningham and Cormac Burke so the peg numbers were drawn out of the hat and John Cunningham won the prize.
