The NCFFI Predator Club held it’s first two qualifiers to select the team to travel to France for the 7th FIPSed World Championship Carnivorous Boat Fishing with Lures in October this weekend. Fishing upstream from the Round O slipway on the River Erne at Enniskillen the weather conditions were ideal but the fishing very hard indeed.
On the leading boat over the two days were brothers Stephen and Andrew Powell who landed 2 Pike and 4 Perch on Day One and 3 Pike and 3 Perch on Day Two. Bronze medal winners Tomi Kurman and Jacyk Gorney landed a total 4 Pike and 10 Perch with a bonus 56cm Bream on Day Two. Colin Rutherford and Lindsey McFadden totalled 3 Pike and 2 Perch.
In the overall qualification standings Stephen and Andrew Powell lead on 2pts, Tomi and Jacyk are second with 4pts and Lindsey and Colin third on 6pts. All three pairs had represented Ireland at the same event hosted on the Erne in Oct 2013 and are hoping to again make the team this year.
But it’s not a foregone conclusion and there are another two days of qualifiers yet to be fished on the Erne on 2nd/3rd August. The team will be selected based on the best two results from the four qualifiers
