Well what can I say. Before we got there the rumour around most birmingham tackle shops is that Barston has had a fish kill ??? Whether this is true or not i dont know but one thing was sure we must of seen Half a dozen dead carp on the match lake and the ones that come to the surface were covered in horrible fungus.
The match itself was tough very tough the winner had 19lb. 6 carp all on cat meat next weight was 12lb and so on 3 people didnt weigh and out of 20 blokes 10 didnt get over 5lb. Its was one of those matchs if you didnt have a carp you aint gettin no where. It was surprising how many people had 2 carp and they were the only bites of the day.
Well I was full of optimism before I got there after hearing of these good weights unfortunately they just never showed
