Munster’s young anglers excel at interprovincials

THE Irish Federation of Sea Anglers 2011 Juniors/Youths Interprovincial Shore Championships were held this year in Ulster with headquarters at Coleraine.

The first venue was Ballycastle Beach, with fishing from 10am to 2pm. The beach had a big surf and as a result, fishing was very poor, with 15 of the U16s hooking fish and 10 of the U21s with fish.

The night session from 6pm to 10pm was changed to Waterfoot Beach, where fishing was excellent, with every angler recording double-figure fish catches. Coalfish, flounder, whiting, rockling and bass were all caught.
