Yesterday turned out to be a glorious day and Alo Moran and Martin Burke went out in the boat fishing. They went a few miles downstream to Derryholmes and fished for a few hours using Flying C's which are a popular bait for salmon trout pike perch and muskie.They were hoping for a salmon and did not use steel traces as Martin claims that salmon can see them and traces are necessary to prevent pike biting through the line.Three pike went for the bait and they landed one measuring 31 inches that weighed 4 Kilo which was released back alive.
In the Fishing Gala competition on the River Suck yesterday's match was won by former world champion Kevin Ashurst with a catch of just over 26 Kilo.Everybody is catching fish and the competition is going well.
