Mon 01 Jan 2009Bay sweeps hall of fame
ANGLING NOTES:RED BAY, in Northern Ireland, swept the awards in last year's "hall of fame" fish categories with three new Irish records and more than 100 specimens across eight different species, according to the Irish Specimen Fish Committee (ISFC) report for 2008.
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Glens of Antrim close to Cushendall, the bay became a haven for the lesser and greater dogfish, and 63 specimens in the spur dogfish category. The blackmouth dogfish made a new entrance and, again, 15 of the 18 specimens, including a new record, are attributed to Red Bay.
