The first night of the festival was fished in Ballyhealy / Bastardstown to the west of Kilmore Quay. Stephen Brennan won with 20 fish (i think) which included a bream.
The fist day of the festival proper had a turn out of just under 100 anglers and was fished in Furlongs Road, Kilmore. Fishing was fairly poor with around 18 fish winning. Zone A in The Burrow was best with mostly flounder and a few codling and whiting.
The second day was fished on the east coast beaches of Tinnaberna, Morriscastle and Ballinamona. Fishing here was excellent with a bag of 25 - 27 winning. These were mainly flounder, dogs, whiting, bass and codling. Morriscastle fished best with the other two beaches being won with bags of 20 or more swell.
All in all a great weekend and defo one to put in the calendar for next year.
