Nine year old Mae Kirby celebrated her birthday this weekend shore fishing in Connemara with her dad Myles. The sunshine and settled weather meant crystal clear water with the bottom visible even in the deeper gullies.
Mae float fished close to the rocks using hard back shore crabs as bait. The fish were nervous in the clear conditions but Mae still managed a few bites and landed one beautifully coloured and speckled ballan wrasse which dad photographed and carefully returned to the Atlantic.
Well done Mae! We hope to see you feature in many more reports with Dad in the future!
