Kilgorman 17th of April ....Leinster League u-16 and 21

People:Well me and then 3 or 4 u21's and 5 or 6 u16s

Duration:check in 3-30....Fishing comp 5-9

Tide:Rising I fink

Weather:A horrible awl wind but sunny

Bait:Lug tipped with mack

Rigs:Homemade by my minion and eric even donated 1 to me thanks for that eric

Results:1 solitary whiting 5 cm




Report:Was looking forward to this and so Joe Byrne brought me down to Kilgorman and signed in and got ready while getting ready eric gave me a rig to use but no rig would get me fish for the next few hours anyway...No-one got any great fishing i think that the most caught was 4 in the u-21s, 2 in the u-16's


Never have I thought much of the last cast but yesterday my mind differed Reeled in and barely on the hook was a pinhead whiting putting me in 3rd spot in league not bad for first day out and I got great advice from Eamonn and Rodney....My dad was busy away fishing the blackwater river. He caught no fish but just like me got some sound advice and his brown bread got its claim to fame

Well done on the place Junior. Sometimes that last cast means everything. At my first comp I thought I had a dog fish on the last cast. It turn out to be a glove filled with stones and sand though

Hahaha are they a banned species?

Despite my appeals.........................................................yes

sounds like tough fishing junior i suppose that eric lad was finding the tiddlers he,s a slippery customer i hope you checked the knots and hooks on that rig

glad to be of service to ya michael. i assure you the fishing at the next comp will be better might have the report up with pics on planetseafishing in the coming days if its accepted, if not il update it here.

its always hard to stay focused at a comp when the fish arnt playing ball .so well done micheal for sticking it out. hope you
bled eric dry for info if nothing else you got a day of knowledge that you will use on another day. when you can put it to use .well done to all who took part in this

Well done on you perseverance you learned you first true lesson on competition angling “never give up”
I’ve won many a match while anglers were walking off the beach when fishing was poor.

If the plan works stay with it.

cheers lads
