The Weekender

Bofey Quinn’s, Corofin

Written by Cormac MacConnell

THE huge brute of a greengray pike at the bottom of the lough saw a passing coppery glint that looked like the belly of a passing perch one morning and he hurled all his 56 pounds of ferocity at it with great fanged maw wide open. He thought he would enjoy his breakfast. He was not to know then that the glint was created by the canny copper spoonbait which was attached to the line which was in turn attached to the canniest of the Corofin anglers, my friend Michael Egan. Now the monster is encased in a glass box facing the main bar in Bofey Quinn’s in the village and he has seen more good nights below with his greenish glass eyes than he ever saw good breakfasts. And when I was living in Corofin for a few years Michael Egan and myself raised a pint or two in his direction as well. Good nights in a landmark pub which was my local when I was there and which I still never pass.

** This thread discusses the Content article: Bofey Quinn’s, Corofin **

Around this fine town
The Fergus does flow
It meanders and rambles,
Reluctant to go.
It is full of big fish
That are sought out by all
And the biggest are now
In a glass-case on the wall
4

With river and lakes
It is all you could wish
A Paradise for fishing
Less so for the fish.
The way that fish say it
“Tis a Cod of a Plaice,
If we’re not very careful,
We’re in the glass case”

6
Fresh air and fishing
Are an anglers delight
And the cares of the world
Soon fade out of sight
And thoughts they start drifting
As evening begins
Of the fun you will have
When your in Bofey Quinns
