This was our first club match 0n the pond this year and all competitors were eagerly awaiting the draw. It was nice to see some new faces fishing, including junior member Olly Flindall who fished a great match. Last year the pegs to draw were 2, 6, 13, 14, 20, 32, 37 and 38, so plenty of good pegs to draw. The Match got off to a great start for Craig Logan on peg 11 – catching a carp first drop in fishing shallow – quickly followed by Matt Gaettto on peg 13. Matt started off fishing short on pole while priming his 16m line with 6mm pellets. He caught Carp steadily on this line both on the deck and then shallow, making no mistakes to win the match. Second place went to Craig Logan on peg 11 – Craig fished pole at 13m using pellet both on the deck and shallow and fishing feeder to the island with pin point accuracy. Third place was Craig Radford on peg 28 – Craig had been looking forward to the match for weeks and now the temperature was above 20 degrees he felt it was safe for him to go out. He was disappointed with his draw but all that mid week practice paid off and he fished a great match. Overall the pond fished well with average weights around 30lb
1st Matt Gaetto – 92lb
2nd Craig Logan – 69lb 2oz
3rd Craig Radford – 54lb 14oz
4th Barry Dent – 47lb 11oz
5th Phil Kent – 47lb 7oz
Please can all anglers fishing the match next week have the correct money and remember to keep 2m distance where possible.
