A better day today for both weather and bites, than last sunday when no fish wanted to play. Nick and Keith caught well all day on pellet fished to the islands on pegs 2 and 3, and for most of the match they were fish for fish.
Until the last 30mins when Keith's bites dried up on 4mm pellet. Nick had switched to 6mm pellet and continued to catch right up to the whistle finishing on 152 small carp for 67lb 1oz.
A good 1st place ahead of Keith, with 56lb 14oz for 2nd. Ieuan Davies taking 3rd place with 30lb 9oz.
NINE ANGLERS TOOK PART AND ALL WEIGHED IN, FULL RESULTS AND PEG NUMBERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE FORUM SITE.
