The Ulster Krakens SAC headed to White Rocks Beach in Portrush last weekend for the second round of their Master Angler competition. Some club members were called into action early, as a family were struggling with a flat tyre in the carpark, and they helped get them back on the road again.
Unfortunately, that was as much action as some of the anglers got, as fishing turned out to be very slow once they got into the fishing. There were a number of decent sea trout gobbling up baits, but they don’t count under IFSA rules, and were returned without any points being accrued.
So a couple of bass for Fra Mahoney was the highlight of the evening’s fishing, with flounder, turbot, plaice and whiting making up the rest of the catches, as many anglers struggled to put points on the board. Lines were pulled in at 10pm, by which time Raymond McCann had taken 5 counters to give him top place with 123 points.
