Irish Master Angler 2006 info.

can anybody give me any info on the marks for the master angler, best baits or what fish to expect. i don't mind driving 190 miles to go fishing, but i do mind paying 120 yo-yo's +B+B and not getting any fish! If ye don't want to post up info here just p.m. me instead. thanks in advance...

Go to the Kilmore SAC website, they are hosting the event, nobody is going to give too much away on a forum or to strangers but if you read the site it'll give you an idea of the venues and location of each . . .

I'm not familiar with the marks but you could also search through past posts and catch reports on the forum, or look at the main SAI website.

The opening session of this years Master Angler will take place in the Kilmuckridge area, fishing 10:00am to 2:00pm, the second session in Rostoonstown 7 to 11pm with the final session in the Kaats on Sunday 10 to 2pm. All these venues are capable of producing good catches. Reports from the venues can be seen on our web-site http://www.kilmoresac.com
.

I'm stickying this.
Please, debate the merits or otherwise of the Master Angler Comp/Irish Team elsewhere (i.e. not this thread).

Use this thread for a discussion on the venues this year.
Also questions about accomodation, food, drink etc are ok..

kilmuckridge area - morriscatle and tinnebearna beaches i presume,

they are both full of dogs at the moment espeically tinnebearna over low water, sandeel on a 3 hook flapper is all you'll need to bag up, chance of a bass or smoothie on lug and crab and also there should be some flounder on both beaches by now, fish close in the gullies 3 hook size 1's rag or lug tipped with a sliver of mackerel should do the trick if the fish are there.

Rosdoonstown has been on top form i had a report from some firends on monday night, they caught good numbers of bass to 8lb, then went on to catch some hounds, no codling yet but they wont be long in showing. most of the fish were taken on mackerel funny enough and there was also a 4lb seatrout taken on mackeral.

WORD OF WARNING - a lot of these beaches have been hit hard since monday and probably will be full of weed so be prepared for it.

I was just looking at the tidal charts for Wexford this weekend- very small tides

That's a big tide for Courtown :lol: Subtract somthing close to an hour for Morriscastle.

This is only a few miles from me ... I might wander a long to see what's happening, maybe pick up a few pointers :)

looks more like a heart attack to me.....
last time i fished courtown the tide was a difference of 10cm ( thats if you can call it a tide :? :? :? )

just heard that there is a good chance Saturday nights venue will be changed

Who did you hear it from ?. There have been rumours all week of a venue change but up until tuesday - when I checked with the host club - the venues were as listed originally.

Heard from a friend thats fishing it apparently the forecast for Saturday will lead to the venue being changed. Iwas contacted to arrange bait for the new beach

what bait were you asked to get :lol: !

Just wondering are they still fishing Rosdoonstown tomorrow night? If so, what time do they start fishing?

Some photos here.
