Gary Doyle reports on the two day Sensas Riverfest fished on the Barrow at Monstarevin…
Day 1 of the Sensas Riverfest was held on the River Barrow at Monasterevin on Sunday, 12 November. With 2 feet of extra water and an upstream wind conditions looked good for fish to feed and so it proved. Andrew Burnett lead the way closely followed by Robbie Smithers in second and Trev Platt in third. With 7lb separating the top 4 it was too close to call…
Everyone seemed fairly pleased with their draw on Day 2 so it was all down to whether the fish would feed as aggressively as yesterday. In the end the fishing was harder and the fish didn’t turn up in the numbers expected. [Unless you were Trev Platt – Editor]
Well done to this year’s Riverfest Champion Trev Platt who won the day with 28lb. Second overall was Robbie Smithers who pipped Andrew Burnett by ounces and finished third.
On behalf of myself and Gavin Walsh I’d like to thank everyone who supported the event in its first year.
Go fishing…
We’re working on making next year’s event bigger and better and hope to see as many anglers as possible on the bank trying to qualify for the final and become Sensas Riverfest Ireland Champion 2023.
