Tralee Bay SAC held its 3rd competition of 2016 last Sunday the 17th of April.
The Competition was meant to be on Barrow the Sunday before but due to adverse weather on the day it was called off. This was our second cancellation this year as Mother Nature has been at it again. However summers on its way and things are looking up for us.
Anyway back to Sundays comp, fishing was always going to be hard as conditions were fairly calm with bright skies. The majority of anglers however caught fish in their first few casts, happy days we thought. This was not the case however as the fish just disappeared, from most pegs.
The last hour things started to change and John Osbourne on peg 1 started catching a few small turbot and flounder. It looked like it was going to be Johns day, I myself Eugene Farrelly also started to get a few. I was still a few fish behind John until one of those crazy casts when I pulled in a treble flounder followed by a single. Poor John was sick as it was enough to win the comp.
Tag A Ray is coming up very soon 7th and 8th of May and this year looks like it will be the best one yet. RTE’S nationwide will be filming on the Saturday this year which is great for the event. There are only a few boat places left so first come first serve.
The 2nd leg of the Munster’s is taking place in Waterford next Sunday and the club wishes all our talented anglers taking part in it all the best.
North Kerry Sac are hosting the Munster open this Saturday 23rd of April. All club members should try their best to support the event as it’s great to have such a prestigious event in Kerry. Best of luck North Kerry Sac the weekend.
Senior Results:
1st Eugene Farrelly 175pts.
2nd John Osbourne 125pts.
3rd David O Sullivan 108pts.

Eoin Foley was the only angler catching fish and putting all the senior anglers under pressure. Troy and David O Sullivan were catching a few flounder on the higher pegs. The rest of the beach was fishing very poorly and after 3 hours Eoin was miles ahead of everyone.
The last hour things started to change and John Osbourne on peg 1 started catching a few small turbot and flounder. It looked like it was going to be Johns day, I myself Eugene Farrelly also started to get a few.
