Well Conway was its usual wild self again this week with strong winds and driving rain from the off so we tried to peg most in the bowl in the slightly better pegs from a weather perspective. For those on the sides it was 5m pole max and in reality it was a tip job for the 3 on the bottom bank it was okay to fish 10m.
Ian Simpson wasted nearly 3 hours convinced the carp and F1's would show, having drawn the top end we could at least present a bait at 10-11m although feeding was a little hit and miss. Given the carp had been only a peg away the last few weeks patience gave way to reality and two hours roaching short saw some quality redfins and 15.8lb for joint first place. Rick's 15.8lb was hard fought having sat in torrential rain and wind on the feeder and stuck it out for a few carp backed up with skimmers and roach on maggot to tie for first place......after some debate about weight in rocks as well as fish it was agreed the revised weight was indeed enough to tie with Ian S.
Billy Gore draw the top end and had a similar het to Ian S, tried too long for carp and finished a roach or two short of the top spot fishing maggopt having given up on the carp! Dougie Walsh sat on the carp hole of late inbetween Ian and Billy but managed just one and a few roach for just 8lb after two weeks on the bounce the peg threw up 45lb+ weights.......unlucky Doug!
Result
=1st - Ian Simpson - 15.8lb
=1st - Rick Keeley - 15.8lb
3rd - Billy Gore - 15.2lb
