The Leinster Coarse Fishing Federation were on the banks of the Royal Canal at Blackshade Bridge over the weekend. With thunder rolling away in the distance, the possibility of a drenching was never too far away, but luckily the weather stayed dry throughout.
Angling was a bit of a mixed bag, with some anglers getting into a few nice bream while other anglers struggled to conjure a bite. Ambrose Devlin didn’t get a single bite until 3:30 p.m., but it turned out to be a 4lb+ bream, and that lone fish was enough to give him second place in his section. Angler of the day was Conor Browne, with a fine bag tipping the scales at 10lb+.
