Last Sunday, the VDE Baggers headed to the River Erne for Round 3 of their Winter League. The fishing didn’t disappoint—Bellenaleck Marina proved to be the hotspot as expected, and although one section turned out to be a little peggy, there were still plenty of bites for everyone, a big improvement after the tough second round on the Newry Canal!
Top weight on the day went to Ewan Weed, who bagged 10.800 kg from peg 2 on the marina, switching between short and long pole. Not far behind him in 2nd was Perry Fairclough, with 10.100 kg from peg 1A, catching small roach steadily on the short pole. 3rd place went to Saul King: 8.640 kg from peg 6 after finally taking his mentor’s advice—just edging out Bartlomiej Szmytkowski on peg 1.
The next round takes place on the River Erne in two weeks. This is the final chance to enter the league— with three droppers in the 10-match series, you can still join next match and be in the running to win!
