A hastily arranged knock-up turned into a full scale match for the 15 lunatics that travelled through blizzard-like conditions, to the Thornton Hough venue. Within minutes of our arrival, the snow stopped, and we fished in spring sunshine for a couple of hours.
Mike Wilde quickly made sure we were all fishing for second when he landed a carp weighing 10lb+ inside the first hour. To prove it wasn't a stroke of luck, he added a second double figure carp, and a handful of quality skimmers, all on paste, to end up a runaway winner with 26lb 8oz. Well done Chopper.
Neil Paterson gave those around him a masterclass in 'tip' fishing, catching consistently on the bomb with maggot to finish 2nd with 6lb 14oz of ide. And he wanted to fish the canal at Market Drayton, doh!
In 3rd place, having caught just one fish, was potential new member Gary Chambers. His one fish was a terrific tench weighing 5lb 4oz., and to ensure his application for membership is accepted, he did 'lose' another equally big tench!
Section winners were Kenny Stuart (now he can hear the 'all-in' he'll fish the full 5 hours) and Ian Hughes.
