    At one time Ballisodare Bay was noted for the large supply of Herring which were caught in it every year.The fishermen were not contient with that,so they began to fight as to who would have the most fish.They fought with the result that one man was killed.When the priest heard it he came and cursed the boy.Herring was never to be found in Ballisocare Bay afterward.
