Sunday 26th November saw the annual Bective Anglers Club pike fishing competition take place. This year’s event was fished in Co Cavan where the day started wet and miserable with a fine rain that lasted nearly two hours. However, it did stop eventually, giving way to dull, dry and cold conditions.
The fishing was hard for the 15 brave souls taking part in the event. Despite throwing everything they had in the line of dead-baits, lures and flies, the larger pike were unwilling to oblige on the day. In saying that, one or two nice fish were lost over the day but the lads still managed to land circa 16 pike all of which were returned alive to the water.
Thankfully, a good number eager jacks made up for the fact that the larger fish were not on the take.
Only the heaviest fish counted for each angler.
Following the competition, the members retired to the Bellinter House Hotel in Navan where they were treated to a great meal and they discussed the day, the season past and the coming season. To finish up the day Colm Buchanan presented the prizes and trophies to the deserving winners.
Colm thanked everyone who had competed in the event with a special mention to junior angler Cuinn Muldowney who landed three fish on the day, a feat matched by none of the senior members. The future is bright, Colm added.

The Bective Club also expressed their pleasure in having David Byrne from Inland Fisheries Ireland in attendance documenting proceedings with a view to promoting angling in our region. Finally, Colm also thanked the Bellinter House Hotel and staff for a great meal and very warm welcome.
