Following some bad days and unlucky draws, including a couple of blanks, Dave Norman stopped the wise-cracks with a great display of pole fishing. He caught so many carp, all at 16metres, that he was glad to hear the 'all-out' so he could have a rest. His carp net weighed 50 odd pound and with another 8lb in his silvers net, he put 66lb 10oz on the scales to record a comfortable, well-deserved victory. Who said Maver poles couldn't handle it?
Kenny Pickup made sure Mr. Stuart didn't leave empty handed, by producing another solid performance, to follow up his 2nd on Lloyds. Kenny fished hair-rigged chicken lip, to catch mainly quality carp and weighed 46lb 08oz.
As if to prove that Conwy isn't just a carp water, Gary Chambers only had four small F1s in his 3rd placed catch of 43lb 12oz. The rest was made up of good sized skimmers, all caught on paste at nine metres. Great stuff!
Incredibly, another fantastic weight, this time 41lb 08oz of mainly carp, by Lee Pickup, was only good enough for a section win. Well done Lee, don't make a habit of it. John Heald won the other section, this time with a mere 39lb 04oz. Was this really an Eggy Ferry match?
Even the Golden nugget was a class affair for once! Following a few dreadful contests, Norman must have been thinking 2-2 after catching 29lb, but Big John had hurled the tea-bag about 80 yards, into several other swims, and remarkably, he battered Norm again, finishing with 34lb, to win just £1.
Spare a thought for Steve Coleman. He drew poorly, caught 5 roach while carp were getting caught all around the lake, took the walk of shame to the early bath, and then Liverpool got beat by Man U. Take his shoe laces off him quick!!!
