Landsend xmas open

A bit of a belated xmas match, but surprising as there have been lots of rearranged events due to covid, i had a breakfast roll booked at the fishery, and very nice to, a 4.75, which is a good score for a takeaway, (well done rachael), mike got the draw underway and pulled me out anothwr corner in the shape of peg40, which is the opposite corner to last week, and not as good as i fulky expected the main shoal of fish to be at the other end, that was occupied by adrian clark on 33 and alan oram on 32, probably no mistakes on those pegs today then. And definitely a case of dejavue as i had dave(beany) westcott opposite me again. I only.set up two rigs, one for bread dobbing along the end bank and the other one for meat at the bottom of the shelf,and out towards the island at 14 mtrs.with the lales full to overflowing i expected to have to contend with some underwater foliage.

At the start i fed some.meat in the two intended meat lines then went out along the edge on the dobbing rig, thus peg haf a bay small bay between 13 and 14 mtrs and with a depth of about 30 inches , it was an ideal place to start.

I was.soon attached.to a nice fish of about 5lb which was soon netted, so a good start, hopefully there were a few about, to give me a chance of the lake win.

I did get another quite quickly after that but i felt there werent to many about, no liners and also no silver fish bites , which the week before were a nuisance, beany opposite soon gave up trying to catch carp which probably didnt help my cause as the carpnalways seem to back off to the quiet water where they are not being targeted, there is a wooden post in the water along the bank in the opposite peg and i saw it knock several times during the match where carp hit or, but i think beany made.the right choice as he was the only one i could see catchimg any silvers I did manage 8 carp during the day, 4 on bread fish half depth, one on meat at the bottom of the shelf and three on meat on top of the shelf at 16 mtrs.

As i thought would happen, adrian up on 33 had a steady day to end up with over 90lb for first on the day, catchimg most of his fish on maggot fished along the end bank, then alan oppsite had 51 to my 50, but i did get the section money by default. The weigh sheets below show how hard its fishing, but looking at other results lots of venues seem to hard at the mo, but i know that the fishery is about to undergo a restocking programme during january which shoukd see an upturn in sport, as ling as we dont go into another lockdown or we are put into tier 4 which would effectively stop competition fishing, we will have to wait and see what boris comes up with tomorrow, weds.30th.

Landsend and acorn

Sunday was the first round of Landsend fishery individual winter league, only 20 booked in, but with several matches being rearranged bue to lock down and tier restrictions it was always going to happen, damn you covid, anyway mike did the social distancing draw and pulled out peg 32 for me, certainly one of the better pegs at the fishery, its a corner peg on the speci lake so there is a long right hand margin to go at, an ideal left handers swim 😁.

Three rigs assembled, a dobbing rig for along the bank, a depth rig for along the same bank, a rig for meat in open water, nice and simple, no need for a silvers rig as its a ten peg section, so carp were definitely needed to do well, company today was merv clark to my left, and opposite was dave (beany) westcott, so nice company. I had a few Landsend legends in the section aswell, but they were definitely on inferior pegs so i shoukd be ok 👌. back to my swim and occasionally its possible to catch along the bank at a sensible distance, but ive fished the peg several times and found the need to go up to the trees to catch.

The match got underway and I started dobbing a piece of punch along the bank, and it was no suprise to me that i never had a proper bite until i got to 14 mtrs, first carp about 7lb in the net, two and a half hiurs in and i had 7 in the net, and that was my.lot, no more bread bites, i tried feeding a bit of meat, in the open water and along the edge but apart from a couple of lost foulers i couldnt get another fish, i am fairly sure that i had stuck with the bread till the end i would have had a couple more, but i cant keep my hands out of the bait box, over on 36 dan pither was fishing a tidy match, fishing bread or maggots along the far bank to end up with 14 carp and a lake and match win with 94.15, well done, and as he was standing in for martin pettiffer as a reserve , martin is off to a good start.picture of the winner and the weigh shhets below, without doubt it was rock hard in some areas, that will change, and looking at results from other fisheries it was a difficult weekend for many anglers.

Monday and i was down at acorn for the fortnightly knockup i run, with the forcast for lots of rain it was going to messy, every fishery seems to have a mud issue at the mo, but that cant be helped, no point in moaning about, just crack on.got the draw done, or so i thought, only thought 12 were fishing , wrong, 13 were in attendance, so the dreaded call for a redraw went out, i never drew in the first draw, but was happy for trig to pull out peg 5 for me second time around, bread dobbed along the far bank has been accounting for a lot of fish at this venue, so thats how i started, three lost foukers in the opening 15 minutes, then one landed correctly hooked, but no more bites , tried maggot over there aswell but only small roach seemed to be interested, so after a couple of hours i decided to go for some silvers as no one at this stage was catching to much, so i fed caster and maggot on three lines and kept rotating around, the best swim was topset and three where i had four good tench with some nice roach and a few skimmers of varying sizes from 4 to 12 ounces, the two other lines , one at 13 mtrs to the left in open water and the other at topset and three to my left just past the corner of the island, the two latter areas only produced a few roach and skimmers, i was suprised i never hooked any carp on any of the silvers line, apart from a tail hooked one which came off at the net, most peolke started catching towards the end with trig over on 11 without doubt doing the best, catching well on maggot to his left down the middle, and he did indeed win with 67lb, i managed to win the silvers with 27lb, enjoyable bit of fishing. And the rain set in with a vengeance half an hour from the end , and for the duration of the weigh in, thanks to ray cooper for doing the weigh sheet ,sheet below,no other pictures as it was a tad to damp to get the phone out.

An overdue catch up

Before i report on the fishing , a sad announcement, we lost another local star this week, unfortunately lance tucker who was an angling legend in the southwest, died suddenly at the start of the week, thoughts and condolences to the family from judith and me, he will certainly missed.And he won his last match which was the clevedon xmas match on the river kenn with a 7lb bream.

First match was a week ago at plantation on the main lake , silvers only, 18 fishing so a nice number affording everyone a bit of room, social distancing draw done and i ended up on peg 2, nice swim as its got a nice new wooden platform, , i had a nice days fishing catching 3 decent skimmers and the rest roach for 23lb and 4th on the day, dave wilmott winning off permanent peg 7 with 27lb, followed by lee waller with 26 then chris fox had 24, so a good close frame with most recording double figures, weigh sheet below.

Sunday and it down to viaduct for round three of the silvers league, i have no chance of doing any good in the leafue as i will miss three rounds so iwas just there to try and do well on the day, peg 88 was my home for the day, it can be good , but not today, 13lb, but a second in section double default section pick up softened the blow, LOL 😂. No weigh sheets availab!e as the fishery seems to have stopped posting them, and as far as i am concerned this was probably my last visit to the fishery for the foreseeable as no one can book anything other than Campbell lake for matches , the winterleague teams of 5 has been cancelled, i thing the spring league may go the same way, i normally had two rounds of my float only league on Campbell and cary , but there are no more bookings being taken for cary so i have had to go elswhere, a bit sad really, but onwards and upwards as they say. Monday and it was back to plantation for another silvers match, and it didnt dissapoint, i drew one peg further along from the last time, and again had a really good day, ending up with 28lb , a few decent skimmers and lots of roach, lovely fishing, dave willmott seems to have it sorted as he won again off permanent peg 11 with 32lb, which was 4 good perch to over 2lb and the rest was roach, all on caster at 7mtrs, 2nd was trig with 31lb and me 3rd with 28lb, then there was a couple of 24lb. Leon Hubbard and mat tomes, and again all had double figures, it is probably the best silvers fishery around at the mo, as its impossible to predict where the winner will come from, showing how unpeggy it is. lastly today and it was off to windmill for another Silverfox open, 16 in attendance and the draw put me on peg 12 which is on its own at the far end of the lake, its the shallowest peg on the lake, but it was still 6foot deep.

Fed for silvers in several spots and corn for carp in one spot, well i never had a silver of any description all match, i had 4 carp on corn at 13 mtrs, and anothe 4 at 16mtrs on maggot, made.a.grave.error in not going out to 16 mtrs earlier i should have even though i couldnt see my float to well as the sun went round directly in front, and the ripple was enough to make it hard, dave willmott won again over on peg 10 with 80 of maggot caught carp at 13 mtrs, well done

mike nicholls was 2nd with 41lb with me third with 36lb, top silvers.went to dave.poole with 7lb, weigh sheets below, for anyone who is looking for a match on monday, i am running one at acorn again, 8.30 draw, message.me.or give me a ring at premier angling on 01179867507, todays weigh sheet below.

Silverfox windmill open

With no cafe open it was a stop at maccy d for a cardboard breakfast, it nearly fills a gap but thats as good as it gets. Got to the fishery to find mark tanner doing the donkey work organising the pools and draw with mike nicholls assisting at a social distance, when my name was called out mike pulled out peg 7 for me, which is the gap between the islands, ok but a bit to far down the lake today. Any way i got to the swim and found a piece of tackle left behind by yhe previous angler to fish this peg but its ok i know who owns it and i will ensure gary etheridge gets his rod rest back as soon as i see him again.

any way inwas soon set up, a rig for maggot short (never had a bite). Another for caster or maggot over groundbait at 1 o'clock angle, and the same float and rig to fish over micros at 11 o,clock angle both at 9 mtrs with various hookbaits, the last rig.was.for corn over corn at 13 mtrs straight out.

It took me 90 minutes to get a fish and that was a lost fouled carp over the micros, then i had a waspy perch over the groundbait, that was the only over that line, then i had a small roach over the micros followed by a 5lb carp, it was proving a difficult ome today with the silvers not playing ball at all, i did get 7 carp on corn on the longer line which i thought may just sneak 40lb, i thiught i had done ok but as expected the other end fished better with kev winstone winning off peg 25 with 80lb, catching on corn at 14 mtrs, 2nd was gary bowden on peg 2 with 72lb catching his fish dobbing bread against the reeds at 17 mtrs, the silvers went to dave poole on 18 with a lowly 3lb, the venue has loads of silvers but the cold snap must have had an adverse effect on them, winners of each pictures below, for thise who dont know kev is the fat one on the right, who i would like to thank for helping with the weigh in, oh no i forgot you weren't quite ready but said you would catch up and help, luckily martin mcmahon was there to help 😂😂😂😂😂.

Mad mikes watersports lake

Mike Nicholls arranged this match on this lake, i had fished this lake probably 30 years ago, i drew next to vic bush that day, we both had one bite each, vic had a small carp and i had a stickleback, we were hoping for a better day today as it had been fishing well on the pegs that were open for angling, namely over on the far right hand bank , the rest of the lake was virtually untouched as far as angling went, there have been plenty of quality roach caught leading up to this match, with roach over two pounds, and even rumoured 3lb fish during the early autumn, and a fair few carp were to be had. Mike Nicholls did the social distancing draw, and everyone was hoping for 1 to 6 or 23 and 24, so when it was my.turn for a peg mike pulled out 12, nearly.as far as was possible away from the rewuired swims, but it was an unknown today so i went to the swim with an open mind, at least we could drive to our pegs which is always a bonus, for company i had venue expert, (he has fished it once) lee macey to my left and long time friend Ray bazeley to right. I must say it's certainly a big piece of water, with a nice colour, but plenty of weed as well.

With a weedbed at 11 mtrs and a strong wind blowing in left to right and plenty of rain in the air, not to many options, so only two rigs, a .4drennan as4, slim pattern and guru wire stem bodied job for abit of stability, dave haines had been round the day before to ensure we could get down to the water safely, but i still felt as though i was up the crane LOL.

As we were told we would need quality roach to do well i only had casters and a few maggots on the side tray,so i fed two lines, topset and two and 11 mtrs. but two hours in and very little to show apart from a few very plippy roach i was wishing i had bought some pinkies, (ye right), luckily i had some lake and thatchers in the van so got off my box and knocked some up, and it did transform the peg a bit as i had a flurry of small rach over then it seemed to die, but then i started to get some small carp,not loads but i felt inwas going to get a bite at any time swithing between the two lines, i ended up with 7 or 8 small carp and some tiny roach for 17lb+ whuch was top weight from 7 round to 22, but beaten plenty of times by the farbank swims and the two swims in the carpark, but i did enjoy it in a wierd sort of masochistic way, woukd i go there again , probably but a few les anglers so we could be squeezed in on the good pegs.

Monday acorn

Baxk at thi prolific local venue today, and i must say the fish are in excellent condition with comfy accessible swims and definitely no tree,s. And with parking behind all but 5 swims it s an ideal venue for everyone from the less abled or above with good sport virtually guaranteed. Any way we stopped off in yatton for a couple of bacon and sausage rolls, we tried a place called "that coffee shop", wont be going back, expensive especially as they dont even put butter in the rolls, going to give it a 2, it would have been my first zero but the coffee was really good, im not blaming the staff they only go by company policies, baxk to the fishing, and this will be fairly short as im a bit late doing it. I drew for everyone but got gary spearing to pull mine out, peg 15, thats ok, to my right was somerset legend and genuine nice guy mike west who i havnt seen since the start of the year, nice to have a bit of a catchup. also a bit of a competion , can anyone guess the name of local angler on peg 11 in all the matrix gear, no prizes but i bet you can all guess lol.

As for the fishing ive had an interesting day, had three nice carp and a few f1,s on bread over in the first hour, then nothing, so switched to feeding some hard 4,s and caught a couple on that, then the bulk of my weight came on maggot iether on the topset and two in front where i had 4 tench aswell as some late carp, and the rest was on maggot down by empty peg 14, down there again in a fortnight so get in touch to book in, ended up with 92lb which was second on the day behind Martin lenaghan on peg 1 with 122lb, well done . Silvers went to andy gard on peg 27 with 20lb of mainly small fish and one tench, 19 fished today after a couple of late cancellations. Weigh sheet below.

Culpins ripoff league, rnd 4

Baxk to Summerhayes today for this match, but not before a stop at lillypool cafe for breakfast, thanks ladies for opening up early for us, food was excellent and hit, so a 4.9 it is then. Mat got the social distancing draw underway, and i did the recording of names, i must say i was glad to peg 23 on longs get pulled out, that pleasure fell to rich lovering, who was taking the mick out of me vefore the draw as i did bad off it last time, Fairplay to him he did manage a lone carp from it, definitely a bad peg. Organiser mat managed to get peg 23 on sellicks, which had carp all over it, he would have to do well to avoid a good weight today, and league leader dave romain drew the same lake but peg two. I couldn't see him making any mistakes from there. mat pulled out peg 5 on longs for me, its a nice looking peg, just coming out of a wide bit , so i could reach across with 14.5 mtrs.

Pegs 7 & 8 normally are.the ones to beat in this bit as there is a big lilly bed between them with plenty of reed cover aswell. But everyday is different. I set up a meat rig for the margins but nothing on that , so no more about that waste of meat. a maggot rig for 11 mtrs, a pellet rig for across, left and right of centre towards some mud banks, and lastly a bread dobbing rig for across amonst the foliage.

On the whistle i fed some maggots at 11 mtrs but after that went straight across on the bread, fishing it about 12 inches off the deck, i had a small carp first put in, second put in i bumped one, then i had to work around the weed getting odd bites, i stayed with it as no one was getting much in my section, after a couple of hours i couldnt get an indication onnthe white stuff , so i started feeding pellet left and right across but only had one fish fromnthe right hand side, i did get 4 carp and a hybrid from the 11 mtr maggot line, i also made a rig to fish maggot at 14 mtrs straight across, and i did get three more carp in the last hour at 14 mtrs on maggot, i thought i had done enough to win the section as i new i had over 40lb, mike nicholls probably had the most of the others in the section, and so it proved, i had 46lb, for the needed section win , mike was closest with just over 30lb, the match was won on sellicks by the consistent Sam Powell on 21, with dave romain on two coming second with, 64lb giving hi 4 section wins, so well done dave. Mat culpin wandered along the Carpark to give me his quid as he had managed to avoid the carp to only have 14lb, well done mat 😂😂😂😂😂. Weigh sheets below.

Huntstrete coffin dodgers

Baxk to bridge pool again today,(Thursday). Looking forward to it, i had a few hours sat on peg 27 on monday, i fished hard pellet over to the island and had a nice few hours catching carp to nearly 10lb and some f1,s, even though the water was.very clear the carp were happy to be in the shallow water, Dave gillard was doing his social distancing draw, i was fourth out, and he only pulls out peg 27 for me, plenty of groans but i was happy, lol. By the time i got to my peg mike Nicholls was already on 25 and was busy getting hus variois angling aids attached to his zimmer frame.

Baxk to my swim and it looked nice,the isalnd was 16.5 mtrs away, and i always like these swims between the islands as i think the silvers like to swim in these channels as its so deep (7foot)

So i set up the same pellet rig as monday, a .2g as4, for up the island shelf, also a shallow rig as i had a few on the drop on monday, the other rig was a .6 as5 for silvers .it was nust about now that mike Nicholls was having a practice cast with the wag, and managed to lasso a seagull around the leg, after a short but spirited fight it was safely released.

I had a quid side bet with kev winstone on silvers only, even thiugh i was a carp peg. So at the start i cupped in one ball of groundbait at topset and one, and three at 11 mtrs, all laced with caster. Starting short i only had one small roach, so i went out to 11mtrs, and began catching small skimmers immediately, i stayed on thus for the first two hours, really enjoying myself, all the time feeding hard 4,s to the island, after two hours i went across to the island expecting to catch carp straightaway, but it never happened, it took 15 minutes to get my first carp, so i rested it and came back on the silvers, it was a bit slower, but by topping up, i still kept the small skimmers coming, i had a few better ones and a couple over a pound but most were 2 to 6oz, good to see.i did get a few more carp from across, but it was nothing like it had been on monday, but it turned out i had done enough to be top weight on the day and that included the top silver weight aswell.

19lb of silvers and 28lb of carp, weigh sheets below, also i am running a match at acorn on monday if anyone fancies, I've got 20 at the mo, but a few more would be nice.

Viaduct silvers lge rnd 2

I travelled with Chris fox today , and we stopped at the well in shepton, formerly canards well, and to be fair the foos was excellent, unfortunately it took about 35 minutes for it to arrive at the table, so 4.85 for the food and 2.5 for the service. Anyway, we still managed to get to the fishery in time for the 9am draw, got into the queue about halfway along, waiting for steve to do the draw as we paid, i got to the front and he drew me out peg 124 on the far side of Campbell, quite happy with that, not a match winning peg in all honesty, but a fair section peg, the match was almost guaranteed to be won from cary as the skimmers had really switched on in the lale , possibly due to the huge ammount of high protein carp bait that has been shovelled into it all summer long, for company i was next to will puddy on 123 and mike walker on 125, i also had chris in my section aswell on 121. My section was pegs, 118 round to 125, so i felt i was at the better end to be fair. I was using a new keepnet today, which as we all know it can be the kiss of death, but i had to get it wet at some stage, it is one of mosella,s 2 mtr hd nets, ideal for this type of fishing, not to long but more than big enough for today, i did have my other silver net aswell just in case.

Today it was flat calm, so no trip or ripple, which can make it a bit of a trial for silvers but the carp seem to enjoy it.

Three rigs, a .3g drennan as3 for topset and one, same pattern but .2g for down the edge, and a .5g guru wire stem for 11 and 14 mtrs double bulk, just in case i needed it. A simple bait tray, some black lake(sensas) mixed with a bag of thatchers original, 50/50. Always been my favourite skimmer mix. 2 pints of casters and a handful of dead reds. I fed one small ball on the short line, 2 at 11 mtrs and 3 at 14mtrs all with caster in and nothing else. Starting short i gave it a out 90 minutes and had three good skimmers and some sensible roach, but as expected it died on that line, i kept feeding it but it never came back, i had a short burst of roach down the edge and lost a good perch, bloody things with horrible bony mouths, most of the remainder was spent flitting between the two long lines where it was a case of waiting for a bite, sometimes it was a skimmer, other times it was a carp, just pot luck, i lost probably a dozen carp, more than some and a lot less than others,the double bulk didnt seem right today, althiugh i had a few fish on jt , the lighter .3 rig was better. but by the end i thought i may have 20lb which looked good for the section, my fish went 25 lb , more than enough to win the section, so happy with that, roll on the next one, as expected all the framers came from cary, with paul faiers winning on the day with 42lb of mainly waggler and corncaught skimmers of peg 97, well done, weigh sheets below as normal.

Shiplate thursday costcutter

With the shooting season starting , gary flinders has stopped running the matches, but luckily, titch williams has taken over the running of them, well done matey. He got the draw underway and it came as no surprise to any one when alan quantrill drew peg 1 again, he,s getting relentless.

They have even taken the peg1 sign down and the swim is now known as plain AQ, i ended up on peg 3, so i coukd look back and see alan, im sure he was wandering around the peg measuring up to see if it was going to be worth trying to get planning for a house.

My swim looks nice, its got an island at 16mtrs, which i expected to catch some carp against, even though it was only 12 inches deep, i didnt think it was cold enough yet to force the fish into deeper water,

so i set up a pellet rig for over there, a meat rig for the short line, nothing on that, and a skimmer rig .5g for 11 mtrs. On titches referee whistle i cupped in 1 ball of groundbait on the two oclock line and a more positive 3 balls at 11 o,clock angle, and began feeding hard 4,s to the island. It turned outnto be an interesting day, although i put a bit of chopped worm in the groundbait, i never had a bite on a worm or piece of any size, all the skimmers i caught were iether on maggot or caster, with double being the best in either.also i had most fish over the more positively fed line, and they still needed regular topping up. It was a waiting game for a bite , but i didnt mind that as it was a lovely day sat in the sun, plus i had the added onus of watching alan catching steadily all day, firstly on a method which he occasionally cast in the same place, and later on the pole at 8 mtrs to his right on meat, i did get a few carp over towards the island towards the end of the match, but with the bright sunshine and a bit less colour in the water, the carp weren't happy staying in such shallow water, but i had some , so by the end i hoped i had at least 80lb, but i ended up with 97lb which included just short of 25lb of silvers which was top silver,s, so a return on my money, as expected with the ammount of practising alan has had on the peg, it finally came good today and he won the day with just over 200lb, well done . second went to john andres on 14b with 125lb, all on his favourite paste method. weigh sheet below.

Sunday/monday

Sunday it was round three of mat Culpin,s ripoff league, shiolate farm for this one, and i definitely wanted to avoid the squircle, but firstly breakfast, thanks to the ladies as lillypool cafe for opening up a bit earlier for us, and it was really nice (4.85). So got to fishery to find the Carpark rammed, as as well as us 36 , the frampton club was there and they had 21 fishing, good to meet the person who is buying the property, seems like a nice bloke, and he is going to employ John hawkins as the fishery manager , a good move i think, so good luck to all. Mat go the social distancing draw underway, i was fourth to be drawn and he pulled out 7 on Hawthorn for me, more than happy with that one, especially as I had an empty peg to my right. At least i should have a much better day than the last round at Summerhayes, strangely i drew next to brian slipper again, ive had an interesting days fishing, catching fish across, about a mtr off the far side in about 2 foot of, on banded 6mm hard pellet over loose fed 4mm, the fact its a steady slope up to the far side makes it a bit hard to at times to get the bait sat ok on the slope, but i felt i was doing enough to do well, i was the end peg in the section, and i couldnt see what was going on at the other end, but it sounded as though it was being quite tough early on, most of the match was spent towards the end peg, i did try several flirts on the short meat line, although i had couple of fish, i didnt seem right, and towards the end i had some slightly better fish in my right hand margin on maggot, i was first to weigh in the section and ended up with 133lb, but mike duckett on peg three caught well on meat in his margin innthe last couple of hours to end up with 167lb to win his section and the match, well done mike, i ended up 2 in the section and second onnthe day, also top silvers weight on the day was from our lake, jess Jordan on 13 had just under 17lb, next round is back to Summerhayes, hopefully i will avoid 23 longs, but you never know, weigh sheets below.

monday and it was acorn again, i was up to 24 fishing at one stage.but come the day i was back down to 18, still ok, so i am doing another in a fortnight, all welcome just get in touch to book in. i did the social distancing draw, apart from drawing my own, i left that to the golden arm of alan quantrill, an angler who has probably drawn peg one at shiplate more times than titch williams and gary flinders combined, LOL 😂, and he never let me down, pulling in form peg 11 out for me, i did repay him by drawing peg 21, as he likes his silvers fishing he was happy with that, i had darren north(matrix) lookalike,gary coton(matrix)to my right and john dursley on my left. Again the plan was to attack the island shelf with hard pellet, the same to my left where the tree has been taken out, then a maggot line at topset and two hopefully for some tench aswell as odd carp.

And the match went pretty much to plan, started across for an 8lb common first put in, and they kept coming for a while, not to consistent, but enough to have me thinking i was doing ok, occasional looks down the left hand margin gave me a few, and i even managed to mug one, in the last couple of hours i had some bubbled coming up onthe short maggot line, and i had a few nice tench from there, so by the end i thought i had about 140lb, and wasnt to far out as i ended up with 138lb, which also included over 30lb of tench, turned out to be enough to win, john andres on three had 127lb on paste, silver,s by default won the silver poll with 21lb, weigh sheet below shows it fished ok, and i must say the fish are in really good condition. Weigh sheet below.

Dont forget i running another one in a fortnight, so message me or give me a ring at premier angling to book in.
