Having been on holiday, I only have the briefest of details for the first Blundells match, held on East pool. Apparently it fished really well, with everyone having a decent day's sport. The result was as follows: 1st Derek Warren with 71lb, 2nd Johnny Rogers with 66lb and 3rd was Les Thompson with 61lb. An excellent result for all concerned, well done.
The next match was on the Ash pool, and given the width of the lake, it looked like the feeder would dominate. The big ide, for which the lake is noted, failed to show. However, maggot fished shallow on the long pole still proved to be the best tactic, as the lake's carp population took a liking to this approach, rather than the far bank feeder.
Dirk once again showed the way home, and made it a brace of wins with another masterly display to the tune of 67lb 08oz, all carp caught on banded maggot. Those back to back victories mean The Wriggler has 6 counting scores on the Garbolino leader board at the half way stage. His record currently stands at 2 wins, 3 seconds and a third.
Dave Lynch had started well next to the winner, first on the tip with meat, and then again fishing shallow with maggot. He couldn't sustain the effort and had to settle for the silver medal with a very tidy 45lb 12oz.
John Rogers can bluff with the best and told everyone he was way off the pace. 44lb 08oz of mixed fish caught on maggot revealed the truth.
Gary Brislen made his end peg count as he won another section prize, this time with a steady 28lb 08oz of carp and decent skimmers.
Well done to all who contributed to 2 good match, and congratulations to the framers.

Buck was going nowhere till he fed 2 bags of moans and a bag of tears.
ReplyDeleteWorked a treat for him and I've still never seen anyone look as clean as him after a match. Had great laugh with him though with deggsy throwing the grenades and winding us up.
As the saying goes Mr lynch " if you can't beat them join them " and all the moaning and tears were working for the next peg up so I had to have a go. It Still wasn't enough to beat your 20lb though.
DeleteGreat day out and the fishing wasn't bad either!
