Summer League, Fish-off

For the first time since the competition began, there was a tie on points count-back in the Summer League. Both Jonty & Tony tied on 37 points; both having 2 match wins, 1 section win and 2 section seconds each from the 5 counting matches. When there is a tie in this manner a fish-off is to be arranged between the members involved.

Jonty and Tony discussed at length on the date and venue for the fish-off and, as their was only 1lb between them at the club match earlier in the year, they settled on a 4 hour evening match on Snake Lake at Head Fen to suit their respective diaries.

As the lake was empty, Marcus, the venue manager, suggested using pegs 6 & 18.

A coin was tossed and Tony claimed peg 6. He fished pellet shallow for the first part of the match before switching to the margins with pellet/corm over pellet and ended up with 39 fish for 90lb.

By default Jonty was left with peg 18. In the first 2 hours he had 25 fish on punched meat over hemp at 10m. He then switched to the margins for the last 2 hours and had a further 30 fish on either corn or a 6mm expander over loose fed corn and 4mm pellet. His 55 fish went 116lb to win the fish-off, retain the summer league title and, most importantly, relieve Tony of his £1 coin.
