22nd May - Baden Hall - Old Match Pool

Well a lovely water with lots of fish cruising and spawning but the fishing was very poor with lots of dry nets but still gave a very close frame.

Results
1st Ian Simpson 21.9lb
2nd Alec Raich 20.8lb
3rd Jason Connah 20.0lb
Sec A Jeff Grantham 10.2lb
Sec B Dougie Walsh 17.6lb

Ian Simpson ran out the winner with 21.9lb, after a couple of hours and only two fish on the pellet waggler it was 16m pole and maggot for the barbel and a few skimmers that proved successful. Alec Raich had barbel and carp for 20.8lb just pipping Jason Connah with 20lb who was left rueing his change from the method as he had started quite well with carp, barbel and skimmers before switched to the pellet waggler without much success.

Jeff Gratham won a hard fought Section A with just 10.2lb, allegedly foul hooking in the margins with a 10hook was the winning rig! Dougie Walsh secured Section B more conventionally on the method albeit in a variety of other people's swims.
The bottom corner was full of banter about who's swim was who's for most of the match with 3 anglers all picking fish off the sunken island and at times all three being within a few feet of each other. To Dougie and Brokie's credit they never actually tangled once with my rig! in my swim! on my island!.........to be fair after the match looking at each others pegs it was six of one and half a dozen of the other and we should have left the corner peg out if we had walked the bank first.

Knockout action saw Andy Thompson with 6lb beat Ian Lloyd with 4lb and Jason Connah 20lb beat Billy Gore 10lb. Just Larford to go to complete this round and Dave Grimes vs Sonny and Jeff Grantham vs Rick to complete.

Pity it was such a poor result as the venue looks fishy, pegging is good (bar 23,24,25 as above he he!!) with lots of water and methods to go at with a good head of carp, barbel and skimmers........all of which seemed intent on spawning on the day!!

Meeting 17th May
