In a match where bites were plenty Trev made his draw on peg 26 count with an awesome 100lb 8oz to win his section an the match by some 20-25lb. Fishing his favoured worm over ground bait method he had a slow start but a proportion of the massive head of skimmer which inhabit the lake soon settled over his bait. From then on it was a case of feeding to bites to keep the fish coming in the relatively shallow water. Due to the 1kg ground bait limit, he ran out after 5 hours but the damage was already done. Of this 100lb weight around 80lb was skimmers ranging from 1.5-2lb in weight with the remainder made up of a few small carp, the odd tench and silvers.
2nd place went to Martin Spragg on peg 16. Not having much success fishing for the abundance of smaller fish, Martin decided to sit it out for some of the big carp which reside in and around his peg. 4 carp, including one of 17lb 4oz, made up the bulk of his section winning 77lb 4oz.
A contender for the performance of the day was Tony who drew peg 7. Fishing a long-line rig shallow at top 3 plus 1, Tony caught a fish a chuck all day on worm over loose fed caster. Catching at depths between 12-24 inches deep he caught a real mixed bag with 30-to-the-pound Rudd, 3lb bream and Crucians all making an appearance.
