Liam Fraher reports for Ardmore SAC…
On Saturday evening (29 November) the club held our very first John Cronin memorial competition, held on Ballyquinn beach from 4 till 8pm. Sixteen eager anglers made their way onto the beach with varying tactics in mind. Into fish from the first casts were Mochara Fraher and Jimmy Kelly, but it was a quiet start for most other anglers.
Once darkness fell the fishing picked up with dogs, painted ray and whiting being brought ashore. A nice ray of 79cm was caught by Jimmy Kelly and a bull huss of 65cm for Pat Buckley saw them take the pools. Jordan Muir was picking away steadily on some nice whiting, finishing in 3rd place. After a slow start Pat Maher found the fish late on surging up the table to finish in 2nd place. Some things are just meant to be and a very close friend of John’s no other than JP Molloy bagging up 12 dogs to take the win. A very fitting winner for the night it was.
- 1st JP Molloy
- 2nd Pat Maher
- 3rd Jordan Muir
Thank you to all that attended and we will look to build on this year on year making it bigger and better.
Go fishing…
