Good to see Dave Feeley and his fishing companion pay a brief one night stay in Shannonbridge and sample the waters and ?.This year he fished Lough Derg but says he is returning to Shannonbridge next year. Dave is one of five regular groups that changed fishing location this year mostly on account of high water levels last year effecting access to their favoured fishing locations.
Our sole angler in the area this week is John Feeley and he made a wise decision to fish the same swim.He arrived exausted on Saturday night and began feeding a swim on the Suck.On Monday he had over 50 lbs of roach,rudd, hybrids and a couple of bream.Yesterday in the same swim and fishing from 5.30 a.m. he had 19 bream up to 6 lbs and about twenty pounds of rudd. At eleven o clock the fish went off the feed. Delighted to hear he had about twenty pounds of decent rudd also. On Monday the only bait that worked was worm while yesterday it had to be red maggot or caster. Hope he keeps fishing the same swim for the week.
