After a switch from Cheshire Oaks as the venue, frustratingly remains not ready, Hampton helped us out and with the venue being totally frozen on the Thurs and a rapid thaw on Friday the fishing was expected to be hard.....but what do we know, the top three all broke 50lb!
Barry Davis fished a great match off an unfavoured peg backing onto Folly, down from the pipe swim and caught a few early dobbing before coming shorter to c8m catching carp on expander over micros for an easy win with 95.5lb....a cracking winter weight.
Ian Simpson fed nothing for 5 hours and dobbed his way on p23 to 40 small F1's and 20 carp for 59.5lb fishing towards the weed bed feature. Steve Gilmore took third spot with 50.0lb despite losing a number of good fish, presumably foul hooked, Ste fished and fed corn again to the inside weed bed feature on p31 (I think).
Overall a good day with 7 weights qualifying for the 20lb John Heald KO 2017 at the first attempt of the year.
Result
1st - Barry Davis - 95.5lb
2nd - Ian Simpson - 59.5lb
3rd - Steve Gilmore - 50.0lb
