HAMPTON SPRINGS, WILLOW, 11/8/13 ~ Two-faced Jamie is winner on willow

Recent results on Hampton's website suggested it was fishing well, so good sport was expected. Apart form one small section, that was indeed the case, with most having about 40lb.
Saturday night on the chatbox, and Jamie was in buoyant mood, talking about cans of whupass and muppets fishing the method.
Granted, he got the whupass correct, which makes a change as it's usually a waste of time even opening the tin. Catching steadily throughout the match, and finishing strongly in the margins, JBay put together a tidy net which went 68lb 14oz at the scales. A magical performance, sadly tainted when he revealed that he had fished the method all day, including down the margins!!  Two-faced muppet, Miss Piggy AND Kermit rolled into one.
Runner-up on his 'home' water was the Gnome. Winkling out some early blade skimmers and cruies set up a late marginal attack, where some quality barbel and carp saw Yozzer weigh 60lb 02oz.
Third was Colin Cook, who by his own admission, had next to nowt for 4 hours. A manic last hour in the margins brought most of his 51lb 04oz . Well done Col.
Paul Dennett again showed his liking for Hampton with a section win. 46lb 08oz of mainly carp on meat was enough. Nice one Paul.
The only 'poor' section was won by Steve Coleman with a less than impressive 26lb 12oz. Can't believe he fished the full 5 hours and only had that much! But well done anyway Steve :-).

  2. Happy with a section win considering a poor draw, probably could have caught more if I had taken a rod but I was advised by a certain someone not to fish willow with a rod as you look a right muppet if you do.
