Perfect conditions on Laune but prospects poor

Billy Downes of the Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association reports:

As of Monday 19th September the Laune is at a much more manageable 1.5m nearing perfect order for all methods.

No news of salmon met or got over past week. It is hard to see that there will be any change for the last 10 days of the season.

 

Prospects: Poor in ideal conditions.

Billy Downes,  Secretary
Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association

The shark season is drawing on now, but there are still fish about. The chance of bigger blues increases at this time of year and there will be fish to be caught well into October. It’s all down to the weather.

It will be interesting to see how many porbeagles return to the south coast next year, and to see how big they get

At the weekend we had a great day out. Not too many blues, but we had 3 porbeagle and lost another at the boat. In total we had 5 sharks landed.

All funds raised are given to a charity yet to be decided.

Fine looking pike weighing in at 23lbs 7ozs for Aidan Traynor
Fine looking pike weighing in at 23lbs 7ozs for Aidan Traynor

Aidan Traynor had a right battle on his hands yesterday when a cracking pike tested his skills against him in a great battle.  Experience won out and Aidan landed this super 23lb 7oz pike even after she broke his landing net!

A great catch and well worth the trip to Lough Corrib for Aidan, who was wrapped up warm in his floatation suit.
