Raduta on Fire with 17000lb haul.

Lake Raduta in Romania has truly proved itself as a phoenix from the ashes as the recent Romanian National Championships competition at the prolific venue has shown (29 Apr – 4 May). Thirty pairs of anglers fished a 5 day competition at the former world record holding venue and landed an incredible 7859.6 kilo's (17,327 lbs) of carp. The winning pairing, Team Martoiu took 1st place with 1106.1 kg (2438.5 lbs), with Alex Lazar 2nd on 816.5kg(1800lbs) and Ionut Birsiu 3rd with 573.8kg (1265lbs). Seventeen fish over 44lbs were landed with the biggest a common of 47.10oz and the winners set a new European match record for the total weight of carp caught in a 5 day competition.

The venue hosts the ICFA Nations cup in September this year where 20 nations will compete for the inaugural title of ICFA Team World Champions.

The big news this month comes from ICFA representative Paul Hunt in Canada who has let us know that you are now allowed to night fish across the whole of Canada. This is great news for St Lawrence anglers and means that you can fish at night on both sides of the river now.
