15/2/2026, The Currane anglers have a new National Anthem and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know the words and yes you have it, "why are we waiting"? need I say more. All I can say is I started the art of fishing in 1966 and fished with the Finest  Currane  angler  Mr. Jack  O'Sullivan for 15 years and I can tell you this- get out there, you will catch  my  Noble Salmon, but to be fair to the Currane anglers it was fairly rough out there today as you will see by the Currane weather chart, wind West fresh to strong and followed by showers and reasonable  cloud cover.

 13/2/2026.I start with the sad news that renowned bar tender Ann Marie O" Shea  RIP sadly passed away yesterday. As we all know, Ann Marie worked in the Butler Arms Hotel  Fishermen's Bar for fifty years plus, Ann Marie had held court behind the bar. She'd listened to countless tales of the one that got away, celebrated triumphant catches, and offered a sympathetic ear to anglers. I  can say Ann Marie will certainly be missed by all her customers, and especially we anglers, I can just see her working in the Heavenly St. Peter's Fisherman's Bar giving out dinks to her father Jack, here mother Kathleen and her brothers Patrick, james, Francis and Timothy. So, on behalf of the Currane anglers, all the good people  of Waterville and all the good people of Kerry, our Sincere Sympathies to all the O'Shea family. 

Rest n Peace Ann MarieĹ
