WORLD CHAMPIONS UKRAINE VISIT BOAT FISHING WITH LURES 2013 VENUE
Posted by David Burleigh on April 17, 2013 (0 Comments)
The National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland (NCFFI) were
delighted to host a six man Lure Fishing Team, from the Ukraine, on the
River Erne in Enniskillen from 6-12 April 2013.
The Ukraine Team who are the current World Champions, based themselves
in the Championship Hotel, the 4 star Killyhevlin and spent five days on
the water with local guides organised by the NCFFI.
They were clearly here to spend some time mapping the vast water being
used for the World Championships, as well as fishing the venue with
mainly small jig type lures which would not be normally be used on the
Erne by local anglers.
Covering the entire venue from just north of Devenish Island on the Lower Lough to Cleenish Island on the Upper Lough, they caught over fifty Pike and around twenty Perch. The team manager, Oleg Konovalenko caught the largest fish on the trip a fantastic Pike of just under 30lbs in weight from the Lower Lough area.
Oleg was delighted with the venue and the hospitality shown to his team and are looking forward to returning for the Championships in October.
The 2012 World Championships Predator Boat Fishing with Lures in the
Ukraine was supported by 13 countries from as far away as Russia and
South Africa. Teams consist of six anglers fishing as three pairs on
boats, with all fish caught being weighed by a steward on the boat and
returned to the water alive immediately after weighing. Ireland fielded a
team for the first time in the 2012 Championships in the Ukraine; they
hope that the experience gained will assist them in winning a medal in
2013. The NCFFI will again host a number of qualifiers to select the
Team to represent Ireland, on the River Erne in August 2013, details can
be viewed at the event website

At this early stage the NCFFI are delighted that the Ukraine, Lithuania, South Africa and England have all already committed to attend the World Championships. Oliver McGauley the Hon President of the NCFFI commented “It is pleasing to see England entering a team in this World Championships for the first time, the NCFFI will be targeting other countries where lure fishing is popular over the coming months, with a view to encourage them to take part”.
