Eddie Long, NADA PRO, reports on a NADA knock up on Sunday on the river barrow ahead of next month’s BARROW BONANZA which saw a mix of club members and local Carlow legends on the bank of the historical town of Leighlinbridge…
Despite promised rain we stayed dry with the sun coming out in the second half leaving unsuspecting anglers like myself looking like a half cooked lobster with one red ear and red neck.
The fishing was nothing short of sensational for the time of year with fish coming to all nets most of the day. Prematch favourite Ollie Doyle drew right bang in the middle but managed to snare a few hybrids and roach along with the dace for over 25lb. Paul McLoughlin’s 240 pole fished dace came up short weighing in over 20lb while local angler Danny Murphy was 3rd with 17 lb.
Speaking of angling legends we were graced by the company of John Holmes on the bank today with his usual mix of craic and fishing tales. Throw James (gather) Foley and Duncan Collins into the mix along with Alan Doyle’s amphibious car with Lynch, Doyle and o’Riordan and that might explain why my sides are still sore…
Back up weights were also good and everything is looking positive for next month’s BARROW BONANZA which boasts a guaranteed first prize of 1000 euro.
