A change in the weather today and conditions were not the best at all , with strong gusts of wind and the rain poured down all day , the turnout was the worst of the series with 13 anglers present and ready for a good days fishing, I can only assume the low turnout is probably to do with the xmas period and hopefully it will be business as usual next week.
So in the first hour ian Sullivan on peg 37 was straight into the fish and had a carp on almost the instant Dave Allsop had finished shouting all in and then proceeded to give a bagging demonstration and had another 13 within the hour up to the 4lb mark, Loyd Bamber on peg 9 caught 3 small carp , Danny Sixsmith on peg 39 had a small common around 3lb park and Ray Jones on peg 14 had 1 around 5lb, but for most it was a struggle to get bites from silverfish.
Next couple of hours and there was no change for sully in peg 37 with is float disappearing with every put in and a quality fish being the result, Mark Addy on peg 16 had foul hooked carp around 8lb ,Mike Elder on peg 19 had small carp around 3lb , Loyd Bamber had the golden orfe and Mark tyrer Had a few silvers, as did Ray jones ,
Last couple of hours Danny Sixsmith had 2 small carp , Mark Tyrer on 22 peg had a small carp ,Loyd Bamber , Marcus Nickson, Mark Addy and Dave Allsop also had a small carp each, and Ian Sullivan was still BAGGING UP! Every put in a carp or a big silverfish , absolutely none stop action and an amazing sight to see!
Not only was todays winning weight the best this year! but it was the best weight since records began and totally smashed the previous match record of 60lb 1oz by 38lb 8oz and Sully weighed in a staggering 99lb 9oz , just 7 oz off the astounding ton. A phenomenal display of angling prowess.
Well done Sully, GOOD ANGLING.
