It was almost a wash out at Dog Lane this week, the heavy rainfall caused all the fisheries’ lakes to burst their banks on Friday and it was touch and go as to whether the venue would be fishable.
Fortunately the levels subsided and the water returned within the banks. Heavily coloured and with water still pouring through the match was started on time and those able to get through or round flooded roads were rewarded with bites first cast.
One such angler was Steve Bull from Northampton who was straight into carp on the method feeder from peg 48. Switching to the pole later in the match Steve pulled away from the rest of the field helped by the capture of a double figure beast, no doubt washed in from the Specci Lake, and finished with a winning weight of 50lb 14˝oz.
Second place went to Martin Paynter of Dog lane who quickly put the method feeder to one side and settled on two pole lines to take Carp and Bream to 5lb on paste, worm or caster. Martin finally weighed in 39lb 2oz.
Third place and one peg and one fish away from Martin was Match organiser Pete Palmer on peg 54. Who, like Martin, fished two lines on the pole at 13m and 3m and caught on caster and worm and paste close in for a weight of 34lb 2˝oz.
Backup weights were all above 20lb. Lets hope next week is not quite so wet.
The draw for next weeks match will be at the Kings Head Napton 9am and fishing from 10:30am to 3:30pm.
