Portumna has been fishing well and the local club, Portumna Coarse Angling Club, have had some good nets of fish weighed in at their competitions and knock ups. The month started well with bags in the 19lb range recorded at Town and Stik Ups. by the middle of the month catches in the high twenties weren’t enough to secure pole position as weights reached 30lb Rodgers Island. Last week it was a little less competitive as Bill Cassidy made up a net of 27lb 13oz at the Salmon Run – nearly 10lb ahead of the his chaser who was 6lbs ahead of those in 3rd and 4th place.
Go fishing…
