3rd Ian Toplis (Got Baits Derby) Peg10 11lb 11½oz Pole/Bream/Carp
Wayne Nixon (Daventry) finally broke his 12lb barrier at Dog Lane this week when he drew Dam Wall peg5 and opted to fish the in-line method feeder. Wayne had several good spells throughout the five hour match when the wind picked up and the light dropped enough to encourage the bream to feed. The fish took corn and red maggot and weighed in at 18lb 4oz.
Next peg first timer Alan Walton (Whitley AC) alternated between the method and pole, managing to winkle out the reluctant fish to a final second place weight of 12lb 8oz
In third place was Ian Toplis (Got Baits Derby) on peg 10 who traveled down from Derby to fish this weeks open. Ian found the company more hospitable than the fish, but still managed to catch enough for third place. En-route to the venue Ian was followed by a lost Nottingham angler looking for a canal match near Northampton! Needless to say Jim WhereAmI stayed and fished with us and will return next week if he spots Ian's Mondeo on the M1.
No catch Pic this week as Wayne was so beside himself and convinced he'd been beaten that he put his weighed fish back!
The draw for next weeks match will be at the Kings Head Napton 9am and fishing from 10:30am to 3:30pm.
