Tactical battle decides VDE Baggers Winter League leg

373

The VDE Baggers regular competition haunt, the Newry Canal has been out of sorts of late, so they decided to head for a new venue for the third round of their winter league. It was a decision that paid off, with roach, skimmers and hybrids all feeding avidly. It turned out to be a tightly contested match, as the variety of species on the go gave anglers opportunities to try different tactics, and the top three all came from separate sections, showing that the fish were well spread out.

Some chunky fish in this bag

Artur Bojczewski opted to fish the feeder, targeting the skimmers, and that proved to be a good decision as he landed the winning bag of 5.45kg.

Plenty of small stuff here

Aaron Nabc Hutchman, who opted for pole tactics, had plenty of small roach, winning him second place with a bag of  5.34kg.

A nice mix in this bag

Grzegorz Bojczewski came in third, with 4.75kg of skimmers on the tip. See full report on the VDE Baggers Facebook page.
