VDE Baggers find the roach AWOL at Muckno

By
Shane O'Reilly
-

The VDE Baggers held a second fundraiser for the team heading to the World Float Championships in Slovenia later this month. They travelled to Muckno for the match, but unfortunately found that the majority of the roach in the lake had also travelled… off to the margins to spawn… That meant there were slim pickings left for the anglers and any angler that could bag a bream or hybrid would be in the placings.

A nice bream made the difference for AAron

So it turned out: Aaron Nabc Hutchmann netted a handy bream to add to his 15 roach, giving him 3kg. Grzegorz Bojczewski came in second, with a couple of hybrids helping him to 2.3kg, and Mark Alcock had a couple of nice skimmers, pushing him into third place.

Best of luck to all anglers heading to the World Champs in a few weeks!

Super surface action on the Inny for Midlands Angling

By
Paul O'Reilly
-

Mick Flanagan of Midland Angling & Shooting has been kept off the lough this week with the blustery winds, but he took the opportunity to try something different on the River Inny, and here’s how he got on…

The blustery wind is back so I took shelter on the River Inny and had some sport fishing surface lures. It’s very low and weedy but I got few pike and missed a lot on the small frog and duck lure. Saying this the best fish I struck into was a trout! We were in contact for only a few seconds but I could see the Golden Brown flash and big fan tail as he rolled over on the surface. Ah well, that’s fishing! But I am doing this stretch again quite soon, with small dead baits whipped across the gaps between weed beds.

John Fleming, who skippers the Brazen Hussy II charter boat in Galway Bay, has had a good few trips lately fishing for white fish on the many reefs around the bay, as well as kicking off the shark season.

The first day on the sharks saw two fish brought to the boat, both porbeagle shark

Reef fishing has also been excellent. Despite windy conditions making for uncomfortable steaming, or keeping them to inshore reefs, the fishing has been really good with lots of pollack, pouting, ling, wrasse and gurnards feeding hard and taking baits.

Bass, wrasse and more in East and West Cork

David Norman with a bass

David Norman reports from West Cork, and East Cork too…

I haven’t done many Bass trips so far this year and despite the hundreds of them I’ve caught over the years it still blows me away to see these beautiful creatures up close and personal, as with so many things in life, photos really can’t do them justice.

David Norman with a bass

I worked pretty hard for the few fish of various sizes I got in beautiful weather last week before the low pressure system arrived and made it unsuitable for kayak fishing.
Looking forward to getting back out as soon as it clears…

Next up was Gavin Fitzmaurice who was out with me for 2 days at the weekend. Day 1 we managed to get some ideal conditions for his first ever kayak fishing trip and found some quality fish including this beautiful Ballan Wrasse, estimated at 4lbs+ that attacked a custom clear/glitter Pirate Lures Corsair Baitfish lure.

On the Fly with Richie Ryan

Day 2 we headed over to Richie Ryan in Cork Harbour for some boat/fly action. Having never handled a fly rod before and after some expert instruction from Richie, Gavin was on fire with 3 or 4 fish to the boat before I’d got my first and the action continued apace for the next 3 hrs despite the strong Northerly breeze. He even managed what we think was a surprise Scorpion Fish on the fly.

Trout to 69cm, pike to 111cm and 130 perch to 35cm all in one day

What a full day of fishing!

Senan Stanley and Daniel Nesbitt were out at the weekend chasing toothy predators on one of Ireland big and wild loughs, but this time they got more than they bargained for…

Wow is all I can say. What an outrageous days fishing that was! An early start meant Daniel and myself were heading on a roadtrip to a different lake. We made a plan the night before to go for all 3 predators Trout, Pike and Perch.

69cm trout

Casting lures for trout produced 3 trout, two brownies and a beastly ferox trout on light spinning tackle. The ferox did its best to shake the hooks doing at least 5 backflips during the battle. Pure heart in the mouth time!!! Unreal craic though.

Smashing perch for Daniel

Then we Switched focus to perch. We finished with 130 perch with the best going 35cm, and the average was 30cm!

Metre plus pike

Then we had to get the pike. Twenty pike later we called it quits with the 5 best going 111cm, 100cm, 98cm, 98cm, 95cm!

A day not easily forgotten!

Turbot and bass at Galway Bay SAC competition in Mayo

By
IFI Staff
-

Galway Bay Sea Angling Club held the latest leg of their Master Angler league on Whitestrand beach, near Louisburgh, Co. Mayo recently. Club PRO Tom Keal has a report on how it went:

For the third leg of the Master Angler, we travelled North to Mayo. Whitestrand was the chosen venue for the day, and it was the first time many of our anglers had been fishing there.
The first lines were cast in at 11am, all with the hope of a few fish early in the match. Tom Keal picked up from where he left off at Leg 2 and landed a decent 15cm weaver fish. However, since weavers must be recorded as undersized, it only counted for 5 points.
Soon after, Brian Reidy got going by landing a turbot. A latecomer to the day’s party, Chris Hartnett plucked a bass from the surf to put him in the top spot.
A nice surf bass for Chris Hartnett. Love the hat Chris!
Ailbhe Hartnett, the leading junior of the Master Angler, once again worked tirelessly and was rewarded with a turbot.
A turbot for Ailbhe
Before the high tide, Kevin O’Hara made his presence known by getting the largest flounder of the day, which set up a tight second half of the match.
A nice flounder for Kevin
The bites dropped off at high tide, allowing the members to catch up, take in the view and learn from each other by sharing tips and info about local marks. Planning for our club BBQ was also discussed, along with our species hunt and the possibility of a camping trip.
Whitestrand
The weed became an issue across the beach after high tide. The abundance of seaweed was blown in by the fresh onshore breeze. However, fishing through this proved fruitful as Brian landed another turbot, and Ailbhe caught a nice-sized flounder. Tom also got in on the action, landed a small turbot, and then got a double shot of two good turbot to throw him up the leaderboard.
Two fine turbot for Tom
On the last cast of the match, Tom Keal and Kevin O’Hara secured their 1st and 2nd place positions with one final fish each.
It was good to see all anglers getting in on the action and, for many, to get a new venue under their belt.

Results

Senior
1st – Tom Keal (124 pts)
2nd – Kevin O’Hara (66 pts)
3rd – Chris Hartnett (59 pts)
Junior
1st – Ailbhe Hartnett (34 pts)
Brian Reidy presents Tom Keal with his winner’s prize
Ailbhe receives the Junior prize from Brian

Our next outing will be our annual club BBQ on the 14th of July. The venue is Rossaveel Harbour, an area with abundance of mini species, perfect for junior anglers and species hunt competitors.

The club also wishes best of luck to members Brian Reidy and Danny Harty at this year’s Home Nations competition in Scotland. They will be competing for Ireland against England, Scotland and Wales this week. Brian is on the Men’s Senior team, while Danny is fishing for the Under-16s. Go n-eirí libh!
