Dermot Page reports on the 2nd qualifier in the Winter League at Rathcon…
The 2nd qualifier was held today in very testing conditions. 20 anglers landed 37 fish over the 4.5 hrs. Some pegs were virtually unfishable such was the strength of the southeasterly wind.
The 1st hour was the best with at one stage 7 fish hooked at the same time around the lake . Di5 or 7 lines were the best bet with a variety of coloured lures in particular a yellow and orange FAB.
The top 5 qualified for the final in March. The next qualifier is in Febraury, apologies to all those who could not get into this one, there was a lengthy reserve list and places are limited for the next one .
The results were:
- Ger Fogarty 6 fish
- Paul Owens 5 fish
- Robbie Phelan 4 fish
- Hubert Smith 4 fish
- Tony Sweeney 3 fish (and biggest at 63cm)
Many thanks to Southside Angling for sponsoring a prize
