Thirty-four members of South Shore SAC lined out for the first Master Angler competition of 2025 last weekend. They faced a turbulent sea, as the strong south easterlies whipped up a bit of surf and when anglers failed to find many flounder close in, they knew it was going to be a tough session.
Des Farrelly had a few early founder on Zone A to nudge him ahead. Over on Zone B, Frank Lawlor set tongues wagging as he weighed in a superb 8.5lb bass, while Gordy Hardman landed a notable 44cm codling.
At the wrap up, Des held onto his lead to win Zone A, just pipping Dave Coleman into second. In Zone B, Ramunas had a very impressive 15 fish on a tough day to take the overall match honours. For a full report see the South Shore SAC Facebook page.
