The Ulster Krakens made a late change of venue for round 10 of their Master Angler competition, as the original venue at Carnlough was too weedy to fish. So the thirteen anglers high-tailed it around the coast to Cushendun, where they found conditions to be a lot more favourable.
The change of venue paid off, as anglers were in fish from first casts, despite persistent rain making the going somewhat uncomfortable. The higher pegs, in particular, seemed to be producing the goods, as anglers on pegs 9 through 13 were kept very busy throughout the evening.
Lines were reeled in at 11.30, and as the cards were counted up, it was apparent that some decent numbers of fish had been caught.
Results were as follows:
1st David Rainey 36 fish +3 unders for 889 points
2nd Andrew Mc Callion 27 fish + 2 unders for 766 points
3rd Marc Wilson 26 fish and 5 unders for 726 points
4th Gavin Mahaffy 21 fish for 602 points
5th Craig Henderson 18 fish for 542 points
The biggest fish was a 29cm flounder by Gavin
Species caught were: flounder, dab, rockling, pouting, poor cod, pollock, coalies, whiting and dogfish.
