Killybegs Mariners held their 2nd winter league outing last Friday 12 September. Check out their report below…
Mariners league outing number 2 took place on Friday after a change of venue due to the big Atlantic swells this week for a safer venue at the Manor beach.
Fishing was good despite some anglers being hampered by the usual autumn weed.
Species caught were bass, flounder, seatrout, coley, whiting, dogfish and turbot.
Some big flatties were caught including a nice 35cm flounder for Pat Cunningham which was pipped by a 36cm flounder and winning longest flattie prize for Pat Byrne.
2nd overall on the night with 4 species of flounders, turbot, whiting and dogs with 216pts was Stefan Martin.
And in 1st overall with 6 flounders and a whiting making 223pts was John Cunningham.
Well done to all taking part. Next outing will be in two weeks’ time keep an eye for updates.
Meanwhile, two more club record length fish were caught this month with an Irish specimen length corkwing wrasse of 25cm for Daragh McGuinness for a joint record length fish and also an 8cm Clingfish for John Higgins; both fish caught from the shore.
