Mick flanagan reports on the recent Camlin Anglers competition at Lough Forbes…
Camlin anglers hosted their club Christmas pike competition Sunday, January 8th. The boats headed out on Lough Forbes, and along the River Shannon, and some cracking pike were caught in calm, mild and at times misty conditions.
Local knowledge proved to work well on the day. Longford piker Joe McDermott won the competition with a super fish of 21lbs 7oz. In 2nd place was competition Mick Galvin with 20lbs, and Pat Healy was 3rd with another fine pike of 15lbs 7oz. Mayvore angler Mick Dalton finished 4th with 15lbs 5oz.
Paddy Donnelly of Lagan near Ballinacarrigy caught a few pike as did Athlone angler Eamon Craven. Eamon and his angling pal P.J. Cunningham also of Athlone Town really enjoy their days out on the waterways and we captured the lads on camera enjoying their Cup of tea. This was my first club to join this season, and Camlin have quite a few competitions penciled in for this coming season.
