Easter Festival 2015. Day 2 Results. 5th April.

Day two report { Eddie}

With the anglers returning for the second day of the festival , this day normally proves two things

1. A section fishes better than day 1 and

2. There are normally a suprise or two instore as anglers position themselves for the day three showdown.

Defending champion Steve Waters was hoping that after his good result yesterday a good draw would set him up nicely to win again and when he drew A section peg 7 i am sure his Drennan box was propelled to his peg in double quick time. Of the other two section winners yesterday Anthony Flint had drawn form peg 18 and Geoff Edwards {Colmic Reading} had drawn B section peg 10 and not a consistent peg .

John tells me that the story of the day was the windy conditions of yesterday had eased up today but it was still cold getting colder as the match went on, but it still did not stop the fish cruising the surface teasing the anglers.

In A section with Steve drawing yesterdays winning peg the real question was were any of the other pegs going to challenge him and he had a good answer of that in front of him as Charlie Bishop caught well today putting 92-14 of carp together to win the section from peg 34 but the real suprise and performance of the day came from John Draper on peg 40 where there has been no sign of carp recently but John got his head down and caught 90-04 for second in section and pushing Steve into third place.

In B section it was a case of damage limitation as sometimes this section can mix up the form pegs and with Geoff Edwards {Colmic Reading} drawing off form peg 10 and Micheal Corsini drawing peg 32 and Mick Chappell on 8 Geoff could possibly see himself right down the section but a cautious approach saw him record 52-10 and take second in section.

The winner today of B section was Micheal Corsini who had drawn peg 32 by the cafe and Micheal put himself right back in the game after yesterdays bad result by weighing in one of todays 4 ton weights with his weight of 103-02 of carp and silvers.

The real battle of the day came from C section where 3 big weight specialists were battling it out for the section win. Phil Powell on 15, Anthony Flint on 18 and Andy Quarmby on 17 ended up having a shallow battle with the cruising carp which was eventually won by Phil with 164-12 of carp to double figures and second place was just snatched by Andy Quarmby with 149-12 from Anthony’s 141-02.

Tomorrow will see a fantastic tense finale to the Festival as there are at least 8 people that could win and it will be an important draw at 10am so good luck to all the anglers.

Special thanks to Simon back at base for getting the results up quickly and to Chris Telling for the use of his photo’s.
