LLOYDS MEADOW, BADGER, 11/3/12 ~ Dennis is a menace to Lloyds carp

Well, a pleasant surprise at Badger this time. Following a few dodgy visits in the past, there now appears to be a good variety of fish in the lake, which are well spread out too. Plenty of quality silvers and a mix of carp, crucians and crossbreeds meant that there was something to target for everyone.
Dennis Jones showed us that he's not just a gudgeon basher, as he plundered a net of quality carp from the far bank. Den fished meat and pellet to amass a level 39lb and secure his first club win. A great effort.
Steve Coleman continued his recent run of good form, and having caught some decent skimmers early, he too found some better carp late on,again from the far bank, but this time on corn, and recorded 22lb 13oz to clinch a well deserved second place.
Proving that the fish were indeed well spread, Kenny Stuart was pegged on the other side of the lake, and caught an assortment of good skimmers, rudd and roach, as well as a mix of stockie carp and crucian types. Using pellet, he finished with 21lb 06oz which put him in third spot, well done the master.
Following an honest, hard day's angling, John Edwards also put together a net of mixed carp and crucians, which went 17lb on the scales and gave Sumo a genuine, well earned section prize.
Back on the match scene with a vengeance is Gary Brislin, and following last week's success, he was in the money again. 5 carp, a decent chub, and some big silvers, caught on meat at 16metres, Gary weighed 20lb 14oz and won the other section.
Next peg to Gary was Mr.Lucas, who unfortunately broke a section rather than winning one. Sumo reckons the rare venture into pole fishing by the maestro was doomed to disaster from the start as he only had one roller for 16metres!
Only two walks of shame this week, as Lee went with about 2 hours left while Yozzer doubled last week's effort by staying for 4 hours.
Spare a thought for Neil Paterson, who had eight proper carp on meat and would probably have won the match. Disaster struck when some lousy f****r shouted allout at 3.30. He didn't start catchin till quarter to four!!!!!!!
