Carrick Beach & Rockers SAC report…

Last Saturday night saw Carrick Beach & Rockers SAC contest the first leg of their Masters competition at the Limerick Rover venue. Fishing boundaries were set from Salmon Rock through to the rocks at the back of Waterfoot Pier. A good turnout was recorded on the night, with 15 club members in attendance, along with 2 guests and 2 junior anglers.

Angling commenced on approximately an hour and a half of the ebb tide, with the remainder of the session fished on the flood. Conditions were far from favourable, as persistent rain, intermittent hail showers and a strong south-westerly wind made for a challenging night on the shore.

Despite the harsh weather, fishing proved productive with a wide variety of species landed. Catches included flounder, dab, cod, whiting, coalie, rockling, dogfish and plaice, ensuring plenty of action throughout the session and a worthwhile night’s fishing for all involved.

Results were as follows:

1st Noel MaWhinney 13 fish 580pts
2nd Jonny Gilbert 15 fish 453pts
3rd Alan Nelson 10 fish 420 pts
