LLOYDS MEADOW,BADGER - 25/11/12 ~ Neil uses his loaf and wins easily

Gone are the days when Neil Paterson tries to fill the lake in with feed. He won't take a truck load to his peg either.

Feeding absolutely nothing, Pato shipped out a piece of punched bread, and from the word go he was into carp. Catching steadily all match, he totalled 58lb for a runaway victory. Nice to see the big man enjoy his fishing for a change, congratulations.
Trying to tell people you're catching 6oz ide doesn't really work when there's 10metres of elastic out of your pole and they take 10 minutes to land. So The Crafty Cockney didn't look too crafty at all, although he did manage to put some decent fish in the net and claimed an excellent second place with 36lb 12oz. Well done Tony.
After some below par efforts on his home water, John Heald proved that he travels well, as his 28lb carp net proved more than enough to get in the frame. More of the same please John.
Just to prove that winter is well and truly here, the weights deteriorated rapidly after the frame. Scratching a few small silvers for much of the match, Dave Cargill found a couple of late carp to win a section with 11lb 12oz, while Derek Warren won the other section with a meagre 6lb 04oz. Well done to both.
It hasn't happened for a while, but the first walks of shame this winter went to Gnome, Sumo and Gary Brislin, who all missed the last hour and a half.
