West Cork and District SAC fished an open competition at Ballymacoda on Sunday…
Yesterday we held our club open competition on Ballymacoda. A decent turnout of 29 anglers took part, with competitors fishing from 4pm–8pm.
This venue has been very good to us in the past, producing some excellent catches and good numbers of fish. However, yesterday the fishing wasn’t great on some of the pegs, making conditions challenging for many anglers.
A variety of species were caught on the day, including bass, gilt-head bream, golden grey mullet, thick-lipped mullet, silver eels, smelt and flounder.
Once again, Alan Mulcahy demonstrated his consistency, producing the best card of the day to claim first place. Alan’s card consisted of 24 fish, including bass, gilt-head bream and mullet, enough to secure top honours on the day.
Another decent performance from Brian Murphy saw him take second place on the day with 16 fish, consisting of bass, gilt-head bream and mullet.
Stephen O’Donovan would take third place with 11 fish and also claimed the round fish pool with a fine 62cm bass.
Brendan Wall would go on to take the flatfish pool with a fine 35cm flounder.
Some of the notable catches on the day were from Barry Connelly and Barry O’Rourke, who both landed fine mullet measuring over 40cm.
Congratulations to all of our prize winners and well done to everyone who took part.
Thanks to all the anglers who turned out to support our open competition.
Go fishing…
Next up for us is another competition at the Barry Point, Little Island, on June 14th. We look forward to seeing you all there.
