After a late switch from Stretton and Belvedere, we were assured the canal would fish well and we were treated to probably our best match of the year with nearly 750lb weighed in and 35lb average with no less than 9 x 40lb+ and 15 x 30lb+ weights.
Rob Dickenson took the win after claiming he had 50lb he weighed 75.6lb of mainly carp caught down the edge on meat along with a few barbel at 5m for what turned out to be a comfortable win. Ian Simpson (not fishing the feeder this week) took second with 58.3lb after switching from meat to pellet and top 3 in the margins started to catch Rob but too late. Billy Gore used a little less meat this week and managed 3rd and retained his lead in the Angler of the Year and closed the gap on the Matchman of the Year with a 47.9lb net of carp and barbel albeit it he only just pipped Ian Hughes (not the yozzer variety the welsh one!!) who had a late run of better carp to weigh 47.8lb.
Sections went to the venue experts John Heald 44.1lb and Dougie Walsh 46.5lb both fishing meat in the margins and taking carp and barbel. I must also mention Jason Connah who weighed 38.6lb and for his efforts only got 1 point and the other 5 anglers who weighed 30lb+ who never even got a point!! Good close fishing and seems a very fair venue at present.
