30th Dec 2016 - Hampton Willow

Despite a much milder night the lakes remained solid at Hampton and after breaking the ice we managed no blanks although the carp were holed up more so in certain places and Billy Gore took full advantage dobbing most of the day for 16 carp and a few roach to weigh 44lb. Ian Lloyd managed 8 carp and some roach and skimmers for 27.04lb and the final place went to Mike White who stuck to maggot to the edge of the ice for 19.0lb just a few pounds ahead of four others all with 14lb+ weights so given the icy conditions (it was still frozen solid when we left) not too bad a day.

Result

1st - Billy Gore - 44.06lb
2nd - Ian Lloyd - 27.04lb
3rd - Mike White - 19.0lb
