Colin Rutherford reports that Pike Rigs R Us exclusive/region 43 PAC had a pike competition yesterday Sunday 6th January at White Island on Lough Muckno, Co Monaghan.

19 anglers attended the even but unfortunately the results were poor but despite the poor catches everyone had a great day out. Five pike were caught on the day and the results and prizes were as follows.

1ST GERRY SMYTH £180 + THE PIKE RIGS R US TROPHY

2ND GERARD SMYTH £110

3RD ROBERT HANNA £70

In addition to the fishing the lads also did a cash/tackle/rod collection for the ‘angling first group‘ in Lurgan that had 60 rods and tackle stolen in early December. The Pike Rigs R Us lads also collected £87 and a box full of rods/tackle on the day of the competition which they will be passing on to the angling first group this week.
