Report:Well done to Sandra O'Shea of Cobh SAC. Sandra caught this fine specimen coalfish while fishing the first competition of Cobh SAC's Master Angler Boat competition series. This fished weighed 20lbs when caught but registered 18.5lbs on a certified scales when weighed 6 hours later. What harm it's still a great fish, especially as it wasn't caught on a wreck !!! No, this fish was caught from the Pollack Rock Reef, east of Power Head.
