3rd Roy Quayle (Maver JGG) Peg 48 18lb 4oz Splasher/Pellet
The day was sunny with overcast periods and the fish had other things on their minds this week as the water temperature had triggered them into spawning. Most of the fish caught were under 2lb and mostly timid takers with floats needing to be dotted down to spot the bites.
It was the turn of venue stalwart Ray Gregory (Castle AC) who waited patiently to take the crown for first place from peg 4 fishing pellet over groundbait. Ray’s fish eventually turned up at his peg at 2pm and decided to feed for the last part of the match. Ray caught on 6mm expander pellet over groundbait taking examples to 4lb and weighing in 21lb 15oz.
Second place went to Pete Palmer of Dog Lane Fishery who fished pellet and corn over wetted micros and dead red maggot on peg 8 at 10m to weigh in 21lb 8½oz of carp to 2lb. This was despite having jumped in, with an hour to go, to grab his pole which had been ripped out of it’s rests as Pete had got up to put on a fleece. Needless to say he got no points for grace and some wry comments but did land the fish responsible. Not a recommended action to take but reason seems to fly out the window when you see a grand pole disappearing into the depths. Don’t do it!
Third place was taken by Roy Quayle on peg 48 with 18lb 4oz of splasher caught carp all taken in the last 40 minutes. Needless to say he will be back next week to attempt to regain his crown.
The draw for next weeks match will be at the Kings Head Napton 9am and fishing from 10:30am to 3:30pm.
