Transition Year students Nikita Greidans and Jack Keenahan are working together at Blackwood Bait and Tackle. As part of this school programme they are supplying reports to the Irish Angling Update…
On the 3rd of may we ran a match on Gaulmoylestown Lake, on the day we had 16 anglers participating, the weather conditions were ideal for coarse fishing. The draw was at 10am and all in was at 11.30, finally all out was at 4.30. at the start of the match peg 18 seemed to be performing the best but the winning peg on the day was peg 3
Results
- First place on the day was Johnny Bailey with a bag of 123lb 13oz
- Second place on the day was Karl with a bag of 90lb
- Third place was David with a bag of 89lb

Overall, the day was a great success as almost all the anglers had a bag of 50lb minimum with one or two exceptions.
We would also like to thank the people who sponsored the prizes for the day. Thanks to Palmerson Stores, Portumna, Vivado Hunting and Fishing Tackle, Tullamore, Wild Hunter, Athlone and Loch Mahon, we greatly appreciate the sponsored prizes because without the sponsors the match wouldn’t have happened.
