A stag weekend

Saturday 31st July a party from Bangor, organised by David Megarry, had a stag weekend in Warrenpoint & Rostrevor for their friend Brenden Napier. A fishing trip on the Saturday proved to be very enjoyable with the lads catching plenty of fish. We wish Brenden all the best.

  Jan and her Squid

Sunday 26 October - A party from Enterprise Ireland Angling Club (John Conway Leader). Weather was very good - flat and calm. Fishing, after a slow start picked up as the day progressed with 8 species being caught - Pollock, Ballan Wrasse, Mackeral, Cod, Pouting, and Whiting, with plenty of octopus and squid and cod. The Cod was of a good size.

Jan Gallagher, the only lady of the group, was the envy of the men with the fine squid she took on board.
   
 
 

A Good Day OutSunday 5 October - Our regular visitors from Bessbrook, near Newry, saw Richard Fletcher and his mates take advantage of the last of the summer's warmer weather to book a boys' only day out. Needless to say a few drinks were consumed, and it was never really agreed upon as to who made the biggest catch, although there was a good selection of Mackeral, Cod and Dog Fish brought home. It was unfortunate that Dave couldn't make it this time, the menu at the Viaduct Restaurant may have had an spectacular chef's special that evening.

   
           
     

Ronan's TopeSaturday 27 September - A party led by Emmett Finnegan from Castlebellingham and Dundalk enjoyed their day out, with a large selection of Mackeral and Cod to take home. Prize of the day went to Ronan, who managed to net a 27 lb Tope
