With 17 booked on Rick had sorted a section on Kingfisher and a section on Badger from peg 18 back towards the car park on the right hand bank.
The fishing was very hard for most and if you were not on the top island on Kingfisher in the main you struggled. Kenny Stuart fished to the island in the top right hand corner and struggled for bites before finding carp in the open water on bread and despite losing a fair few he managed to secure a second win on the run with 26.0lb.
Mike Richardson again on the top island but this side by the house went off like a train with 3 carp in 3 drops before they spooked and then it was a case of trying to work out what and how they wanted it. Mike managed a few more but fell just short of the win with 25.1lb. Billy Gore was also on the top island but the farside by the aerator and after a few early mug fish it got tough for Billy too but he wrinkled out a creditable 22.3lb on a tough day for 3rd place.
Top weight on Badger was Ian Lloyd with 20.1lb. Considering the space we had only two other double figure weights were taken and Lloyds was not in a forgiving mood with nearly a third of the field weighing less than 5lb.....certainly not the winter fishing we have been used to in previous years here.
Result
1st - Kenny Stuart - 26.0lb
2nd - Mike Richardson - 25.1lb
3rd - Billy Gore - 22.3lb
