The Leinster Pike Anglers switched venues from the Shannon system to the Erne system for this year’s 2-day boat angling competition, and they were rewarded with some super catches. Saturday was a fine day weather-wise, and the biggest fish of the day was an 18lb 3oz pike for Jay Cooke.
Sunday’s duller weather really brought the fish on the feed, and once again, Jay Cooke landed the biggest pike of the day with a fish of 20lb 7oz. Those fish put him right to the top of the leaderboard, with the overall results as follows:
