Rebel County SAC

🎣 Rebel County SAC – March Species Hunt

---------------
March actually decided to behave itself for once — well… slightly.
Still a few savage gusts, the odd soaking, and more than one fella wondering why he didn’t just stay home on the couch watching Britains got Talent.😩

But overall, conditions lifted enough to let the fish and the anglers show a bit more activity this month.

-------------
📈 Summary

• Solid increase in species variety

• Multiple club records smashed

• Proper shake-up in the overall leaderboard

March wasn’t just busy — it was a bit of a statement month.

----------------
🏆 March Leaderboard (Top 5)

1st – Noel Lane | 12 species | 19.1 pts

2nd – Ben Hammill | 4 species | 6.8 pts

3rd – Shane Olden | 2 species | 6.0 pts

4th – Callum Looney | 2 species | 5.2 pts

5th – Jacob Murphy | 3 species | 4.2 pts

Noel Lane absolutely langered the lot of us this month — didn’t even leave the crumbs. The rest of us were left scrapping for scraps like a load of bai's outside hillbillys on a Saturday night.

⭐ Angler of the Month
March goes to Noel Lane (Junior Member) — and fair play, the young fella he's grafting around the clock so its well deserved.

• 12 species landed
• 3 club records
• 19.1 points

Club records included:
Conger – 122cm (a right baiter of a fish altogether)

Sand Goby – 5cm (blink and you’d miss him)

Corkwing Wrasse – 9cm

That Conger alone would have most lads wobbling at the knees — proper brute of a fish and no mistake.
Serious talent coming through there 👏

-------------------
🏅 Top 10 Overall Leaderboard
The race is really heating up now — no one is safe:

1st – George O’Hara | 14 species | 24.4 pts

2nd – Gab Matejko | 15 species | 24.1 pts

3rd – Noel Lane | 13 species | 20.2 pts

4th – Shane Olden | 10 species | 17.7 pts

5th – Callum Looney | 10 species | 16.1 pts

6th – Leo Napier | 9 species | 14.5 pts

7th – Ben Hammill | 10 species | 14.3 pts

8th – Noah Tahran | 8 species | 14.1 pts

9th – Danny O’Shea | 9 species | 12.8 pts

10th – Sean O’Sullivan Ryan | 7 species | 10.9 pts

George clinging on at the top for March. Thats another fella out grafting day and night for the species hunt. The misses will have his bags packed at the front door one of these days.

🐟 Other notable Fish of the Month

Shane Olden also dropped a proper headline fish:

• Club Record Spur
• 125cm / 22.46lb

That’s not a fish you casually land — that’s a fish that lands you if you’re not paying attention. A right baiter of a specimen altogether. Daycent fish. Beating his old club record of 18.33lb and also just 2lb short of beating the current Irish boat record , biggest recorded spurdogs from the shore are just 19lb and just over , but controversialy we are the only country that class shore and boat records as one , but going by records from shore catches it certainly is a record breaking fish .

-----------------
All in all, March was the first proper taste of things kicking off — more fish, better variety, and a leaderboard starting to look like a scrap rather than a procession.

If this keeps going, we’re in for a daycent year.

Tight lines lads — and remember:

if you think you’ve got it figured out, the fish will humble you quick enough 😜🎣
