3rd Wayne Dixon (Daventry) Peg50 12lb 4oz Pole/Bream/Roach
Chris Horsley took first place from peg 54 one of his favourite pegs this week, with 24lb 15˝oz of Bream and small carp taken on chopped worm and caster. Chris sneaked the win from Martin Paynter, on the next peg with a last minute bream, who up to that point was clearly ahead. Both anglers had used similar tactics, however, Martin’s peg responded with more roach. Wayne Dixon on peg50 improved on his last appearance going from last place to 3rd after realising he had been fishing too far out for the majority of the match. Just goes to show the fine line between fishing and catching.
The draw for next weeks match will be at the Kings Head Napton 9am and fishing from 10:30am to 3:30pm.

Not too bad a result considering that:
We had a carp kill earlier in the month
that the rain hammered down in the early hours of the morning
the water colour had dropped out as less carp to disturb the bottom.
And I had no worms or casters...doh!
The next day saw two clubs fish and best weights were low double figures, but one club did hamper itself by making it a rod and line event, and the majority went with a feeder...had any of them properly fished the waggler shallow or slider they would have been better off.
Watched one guy use a loaded waggler in 9ft of water and fish dead depth, and wonder why his float didn't cock right and then after a minute go under..he made no effort to come up in the water and connect with the upper to mid water roach and rudd...guess it takes allsorts to go fishing and only a few who can go catching.
