A much tougher day overall but it was always going to be the case with only 4 spare pegs on the whole lake. That said it made for a tight match and sections with 1459lb caught at an average of 56lb per man.
Mystery prizes funded by Rick and Keith's 'spotties' went to the two anglers who suffered the most at the wrong end of the weights list and prizes wne to Trevor Allpress for number of bait buckets on a trolley and Henry Mellor for saying it was fantastic fishing yet weighing in 'sod all' (only joshing boys!)
My thanks to all who went, when I get some time a tell the stories of the 3 days.....and there are many
1. Beware the Gatekeeper especially when he is angry or has had 7 pints and a pie!!
