Well the talk at the draw was of the 80lb winning weight the week before with 60lb backing and 20's and 30's all round the lake!!
Needless to say it was solid.......with ice that is!!!
After 13 pegs were duly broken it was down to who could get the odd chub and skimmer to back up the roach that eventaully arrived for most after and hour or two - unless your Rick when they arrived gave with 4 bites and buggered off before he caught one.....coach? more like couch?
Ian Lloyd fished a tidy match dripping in pinkies to take the win with roach, chub and a couple of skimmers for 11.1lb with Ian Simpson fishing an almost identical match minus the skimmers and hence 7.6lb for second. Billy Gore had the skimmers but not the chub and managed 7.1lb for third.
Graham Aveyard with no island to fish to moaned alot and managed 3.6lb boosted by 2 better skimmers at the death when Rick had gone! Dougie Walsh had a virtaully all rudd 6.3lb for the other section.
Bitterly cold and a tough start to the season with 4 blanks.....bit of a change from 80lb to win

2nd - Ian Simpson - 7.6lb
3rd - Billy Gore - 7.1lb
