18th April - Partridge - Covey 6

Result (proper weight details to follow once I have them from Rick)

1st - Steve Brew - 35.0lb
2nd - Mike Richardson - 31.5lb
3rd - Ian Simpson - 30.5lb

A bright and sunny day on Partridge but with a very cold easterly wind it meant everyone sat there with fleeces on and it made presentation difficult on this F1 dominated water. With lots of room as there are c40 pegs and only 20 fishing most set up lines across, down the track and to the next pallet.

Steve Brew had a few down the track but generally struggled until he went long to the next pallet with groundbait and worm and managed to catch not only F1's but also two lump carp (well for Partridge at 5lb). It was a close call but Steve ran out the winner with 35lb with Mike Richardson close behind with 31.5lb caught on the method and on the pole shallow with maggot. Mike was one of the few who could make it work on the day.......many tried and most failed. Ian Simpson ran out 3rd just pipping Paul Robinson and Dougie Walsh by a 1lb with 30.5lb. Ian caught well in spells on pellet across but they were a small stamp of fish compared to Steve and Mike's.

Well done to Trevor........section winner again on Covey 6......its becoming a habit.

Not much I can say by way of comment as I was off catching hippocrocopigs at Rolf's Lake with H, Steve B and Paul Robinson.

Looks like a good match though with an average of 36lb per angler.

The Wirral Raiders did okay in Oxford as well though coming back with a 1st, 2nd and 4th in the MFS match!!

I can't comment much not being there but the backing weights were very good too with an average of over 25lb per angler being a good start to the WBAC 2015 year (excluding the WL of course)
