A cold and icy day but no wind and only ten hardy fools for this round. We feared the worst when after an hour no one had a fish but slowly and surely the odd carp and F1 started to show but the roach where yet again absence.
The last two hour saw a number of anglers starting to catch well, including some proper munters coming out to about 15lb. Fish were being caught on the feeder, pole and waggler it you had carp in front of you, our had drawn them in.
Trevor ran out the winner with 62.4lb all on the method on maggot from the middle of the far end which was easily enough in the end. Dougie draw the sunken island and fish 17m taking 44.4lb again on maggot having catapulted maggot for a few hours before they came on. Steve Brew was to the left of the point and caught on the bomb and method in the pole with an odd fish on the pole for 37.5lb.
Interestingly the silvers did start to show in the last hour with roach and skimmers coming to the net but mainly 6oz and no small fish at all despite most of the field fishing maggot for most of the day.
Result
1st Trevor Allpress - 62.4lb
2nd Dougie Walsh - 44.3lb
3rd Ste Brew - 37.5lb
