Dave Shires Qualifies for Third FishOMania Final in a Row

The 14th FishOMania qualifier of the year was held at Partridge Lakes in Warrington on Saturday. The match was a sell-out with 100 of the country’s best match anglers competing for another spot in this year’s FishOMania Grand Final.

The congratulations on this occasion go to Dave Shires, who has qualified for his third FishOMania final in a row. Shires won the match with a weight of 194lb 8oz from peg 25 on Piper Pool. Second place went to Miccky Barlow with 158lb 7oz from peg 105 on Covey 5. Rob Swan took the third spot with 130lb 13oz from Covey Canal 3.

According to the Angling Trust Competitions page on Facebook, Dave Shires went into the match with hardly any information on what tactics to use as Piper Pool is rarely match-fished. He started short using hard pellets with no joy, before switching to the margins for the same result. He settled on a line at 12m fishing casters shallow. Thankfully, that change worked as he started to catch 2lb to 3lb F1’s shallow.

Dave Shires becomes the latest confirmed competitor and will fish for his chance to win £50,000 and the FishOMania crown at Westwood Lakes in July. The full list of FishOMania 24 finalists is below:
