West Cork and District SAC fished an Open match at Whiting Bay on Saturday…
Saturday evening we held a club open competition. Youghal Beach was to be the venue but the easterly winds that had been blowing up prior to the match made Youghal unfishable so Whiting Bay was used as the back up venue.
Match time was 7:30pm-11:30pm and 18 angler’s took part. Fish showed up straight away. James Kennedy was the first angler to register fish followed by Colin Kilbride with a nice double shot of Bass. Colin was very unlucky in his next cast when he lost a decent bass which probably cost him the round fish pool on the night. Vladimirs Nosovs would eventually win the round pool with a 40cm bass which was worth €90 on the night, well done Vlad.
The early leader of this match was Gavin O’Connor with 7 flounder but Richie Gormley soon piled on the pressure landing the first ray of the evening followed by a couple of dogfish.
Troy Francis then found coalies at close range to put himself back in the mix, however the the night belonged to Alan Mulcahy.
Alan started slow like Usain Bolt but finished the like the great man and romped home to victory with an impressive 17 fish on the night consisting of flounder, bass, coalies, rockling and a ray. Well done Mully
Mark O’Sullivan took the flat fish pool with a cracking Painted ray of 80cm which was also worth €90 on the night, well deserved Sully.
Go fishing…
Our next competition will be leg 2 of the Munster Shore League which we are hosting on the Slob Bank on April 27th. Please note there is a time change for this match to 1pm-6pm. We hope to see another great turn out similar to leg 1. All the information for this match is available on the Munster Shore League Facebook page.
