Below are the results of the Northern Ireland Federation of Sea Anglers Waterfoot Open

Forecast for the competition were not looking good and because of this a total of 84 anglers attended out of the anticipated capped permitted number of 100, a great result and proof that prepayment is the way forward. It was great to see so many new faces and anglers asking to join our Federation.
Conditions proved extremely harsh and anglers were troubled continuously with weed and quite a heavy sea. Despite this 3 anglers eventually tied on 18 fish each, mostly flounder for top place but overall length dictated positions. 5 Bass were caught which is nice to see.
Peg draw and prize giving was held at McCauley’s Pub in Carnlough and they made us very welcome with a preheated back room and access to tea making facilities. Thanks very much to the owner Sean Davidson for hosting us. Pictures of the event were captured by Ross Nicholson who gave up his time and comfort to click us on a most inhospitable night.
The raffle raised a total of £695 which is an astonishing figure and the raffle table was magnificent.
Without management an event very rarely reaches its potential and we have been blessed by some of the best organised angling and event people in the country that guaranteed a smooth enjoyable event.
Special thanks to
All the committee members Barry Harry Gareth Davy
Committee member Jonny and Jonny for tackle demonstration
