Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports on sea anlging around Killala:
On Saturday 5th April a party of anglers from Sligo set out from Killala Harbour with Donal Kennedy, skipper of the Leah, for a day’s fishing in Killala Bay. The weather was fine with a moderate South South East breeze. The skipper came well prepared with a good supply of fresh frozen mackerel. They were badly needed as only 4 mackerel were caught during the day.
The first drift produced coalfish, pollack, pouting and a couple of nice cod. Later in the day the group went out a little deeper and several drifts produced more cod, pollack, pouting, coalfish and some fine ling up to 7 lbs. As the day moved on one of the anglers hooked into a fine fighting fish and brought a large spurdog to the boat only to have the fish cut the line just before it could be landed.
To book a day’s fishing in Killala Bay contact Donal Kennedy on +353 (0)0868174509 or visit http://www.dkennedyangling.ie/
