Cobh SAC report on their round 3 of the Light Lines…
Weather forced postponement of Round 3 of the Light Lines scheduled for 11th January. 30 anglers aboard Camden Mist, Cuan Bawn, Deora De and Lagosta, braved the early fog to fish inside Cork Harbour today. Another round with dolphins cruising past but, unlike the December Fundraiser, some anglers had an occasional tug-of-war with the resident seals.
Fishing was steady on the ebbing tide until slack water with many struggling to find fish on the flood. Dabs, dogs, poor cod, thornback ray, tub gurnard, and whiting made up the 2,144 fish caught and released.
Congratulations to our boat winners, particularly overall winner Jim Mellis (196 fish), Stephen Hurley, Jamie Murphy and Tomasz Kujawa.
The Big Fish Pools remain unchanged:
- Longest whiting – John Dennehy, 50cm
- Longest Flat – Kevin Roche, 32cm Dab
– Dave Jolly, 32 cm Dab - Longest Ray – John Angles, 74cm Thornback Ray
- Cod – none caught to date.
Thank you to our skippers, Tony Lane, Dylan Geary (on behalf of John Barry), Jim Lenihan & Alan Kennedy. Thanks also to organisers John Warner and Piotr Nowakowski and to the lads who travelled from afar, Josie Barrett and Padraig Munnelly.
