Knock-out Cup Finalists

Jonty vs Steve G vs Pete

Final to take place during the club match on 3 October 2010 at Dents Farm Shop.

Fieldsend, 25 September 2010

Despite the changable and cold weather in the few days prior to the match, venue regular Ray Sladden stil believed the fish would be shallow. He was proved right as he won the match with 51lb 8oz of carp fishing the bagging waggler. He did feel the close proximity of Martin Spragg feedind the pellet waggler next door did effect his catch rate.

Jonty was 2nd. He fished the method feeder short to start with an nicked a few early fish before switching to the pellet waggler. The sun and ripple made location the "mushy" impossible so he relied on the fish pulling the rod tip round. After a few fish the bites dropped off so he decided to concentrate on the short pole and tempted a dozen or so fish in the last hour. His total weight was 50lb dead.

Martin fished the lond pole shallow with caster for a net mainly consisting of ide to 1.5lb. His hard earned 45lb was enought for 3rd.

Result

Ray S - 51lb 8oz
Jonty - 50lb
Martin - 45lb

Kingsland Silverfish lake, 25 September 2010

Result


1 - Pete Dighton 14lb 8
2 - Weasel 13lb 9
3 - Ron 13lb 2
4 - Trev 9lb

then the weights dropped off, some pegs really struggled, so much so Steve Goodrum and Martin Sprag dnw.

The rumour is the lake recently had quite a big fish kill, no chub or any bream were caught.

Ron started off well catching the odd odd crucian and decent roach on the worm, Weasel was the first to start whipping but his fish were small. Trev joined in soon after but was not catching as well. After maybe a couple of hours Pete started fishing the whip and his fish were notably of a better stamp with the odd netter.

As the match continued Pete was really getting into them and those who tried to catch up did so too late.
