Adam Shannon and his dad did a spot of fishing down in Kerry this summer.  Here is a first for the gallery, a spurdog weighing just over 15 lb (6 kilos) taken by Adam on Danny McCathy's boat in Brandon Bay on a running leger holding a mackerel flapper.  July 2004.

 

As promised, here is Adam's dad, Declan with a fine shore caught 9lb 6 oz (4 kilo) Thornback Ray from the Dingle penninsula, taken on a pulley rig loaded with sandeel, tipped with squid and scented with a fish oil.  Several more rays were caught and released.  July 2004

 

Here's a fine 9lb lb 6 oz (speciment) Pollack - taken on the float by Adam Shannon in Dingle in July 2004, and he admits it was a total fluke!  He was fishing for wrasse at the time usinga crab bait.

 

Finally, here is the target species, a superb 5 lb Ballen Wrasse taken on a sliding float rig using two tiny crab bait on a 3/-0 hook in the Dingle penninsula by Adam in July 2004. All fish returned alive.

 

Prizewinner! On board Sean McKay's boat, Fred Roe from Fleetwood took this superb 12 kilo (26 lb) Blonde Ray from out of Ballycastle Bay using a mackerel flapper on a flowing trace.  9th September 2004. It did win the boat competition for September.

 

For those Cork anglers out there, here is a specimen Bull Huss, estimated at 5-7 kilos (12-15 lbs) taken from a shrimping drop net on a boat by Trevor Thomas off Castletownshed in Cork, June 2004. Can you imagine what that would have done on a rod and line?
