Well a tale of two very differant halves to these canals. Ian Lloyd fished a tremendous match to weigh in a massive 131.3lb of carp on pellet for an easy win. Pegged at the top end and with no shows he ended up with empty pegs all around him. Nonetheless you still need to catch them and Ian certainly did. Second was Graham Aveyard, the next nearest angler to Ian with 41.6lb, normally a good April weight but the carp wanted to be at the top end. Third went to Alec Raich with 24.5lb again towards the top end and carp making up the weight. Sections went to Pete Canavan with18.0lb and Kenny Stuart with 13.5lb
The lower half of the draw was particularly poor with half the field less than 10lb and 6 below 5lb. It was a real struggle with few silvers and only gudgeon to move your float if you knew how to target them!!!!.....I had 15 of them on pinkies!!
There are clearly a load of quality fish in there but they get 'walked' and 'driven' up the far end as anglers arrive and drive on with few silvers for the rest. I know we all think certain pegs and the wind etc play there part but this venue is the definition of 'peggy' in the true sense of the word. Guarantees a few a really great day but the majority struggle.
Result
1st - Ian Lloyd - 131.3lb
2nd - Graham Aveyeard - 41.6lb
3rd - Alec Raich - 24.5lb
Sec A - Kenny Stuart - 13.5lb
