After last weeks near wash out it was a pleasure to sit through a match in shirt sleeves instead of sowesters and waterproofs. The match got off to a quick start for two anglers and a frustrating one for others, peg7’s Andy Beaumont was into carp with his first put in and moments later peg24’s Vince Atkinson followed suit.
The rest of the field sat and watched it happen until spells in the crosswinds gave them a chance to get their presentation right and the fish then obliged. It was certainly a day for battling with the changing wind and tow and those that persevered with altering their rigs were rewarded with bites.
First spot this week went to Vince Atkinson (Rugby Tackle) who caught from the off on end-peg number 24 using paste at 8m. Weighing in 45lb 15oz of carp.
Second place was Andy Beaumont on the dam wall peg 7 who put together a net of pasties and the odd better specimen for 32lb 2oz
Third place and neighbour was venue regular Tony Sandelance on peg 5 who set his sights on silvers and was busy all match catching fish to 10z and weighed in 25lb 9oz.
Fourth best weight was also from the dam wall and came from 14 year old Josh Palmer who was one fish out of the frame on peg 3. Josh fished paste at 11m and waited nearly 3hrs before his first carp, after which he started to give Tony cause for concern and unfortunately some lost fish kept him from ‘picking up’. Nevertheless, he weighed in a creditable 24lb 15oz.
The draw for next weeks match will be at the Kings Head Napton 9am and fishing from 10:30am to 3:30pm.
