First Winter League 2024 outing for Leinster Pike Anglers | Fishing in Ireland

The Leinster Pike Anglers were out on the banks for their first winter league match of the 2024/5 season at the weekend. They headed to a midlands venue, and the weather was perfect for fishing, with overcast skies and relatively mild temperatures.

And the fish played ball on the day too, with plenty of action leading to some nice bends in rods. The top three anglers each had 12 fish, but Rodney Gaynor’s were of a better average size, and so he topped the table at the end of the day.

Results:
1st: Rodney Gaynor – 12 fish, totaling 56lb 13oz
2nd: Simon Rosbotham – 12 fish, totaling 45lb 14oz
3rd: Luke Ó Ciaráin – 12 fish, totaling 38lb 6oz

The biggest fish of the day was caught by Fergal Doherty, weighing in at 15lb 14oz.
