Today the jinxsters gathered at the lake for their 4th match of 6 matches. As Geoff Palmer, Dave Moore and Ade Williams could not fish today Michael Corsini and Paul Jay were at hand to fill in to even up the sections. Today was a fresh draw again so today would be the decider for each anglers final Sections. Before the draw there was a small matter of the MINX hat and that honour fell to Paul Roberts.

With the sun blazing down, Very little wind and a tough night match last night it was looking like it was going to be a hard match. Whilst most anglers were still cupping out bait Simon on peg 8 had landed his first fish, a 14lb’er from his 5m line, he went back out and latched into another carp pretty much right away. Most other angler had a very slow start. Kev Loveland on peg 6 also had a good start with a 17lb’er to start his match off.

In the big lake there was a lot of banter going on mainly at Michael Corsini’s expense and he took it all on the chin in his first ever Jinx Match. Everyone was suffering from foul hooked fish again so there was a lot of fish being hooked and lost. Simon on peg 8 was loosing a lot fishing long to the far bank on the pole but still managing to get a few in the mouth.

During the final 2 hours of the match most people started to catch, clouds had moved over the lake and it seemed to settle the fish down and get them feeding. Mat Edwards on peg 40 had started putting a few fish together after a quiet start as was Neil Riddy on peg 16 fishing down the right hand edge. Paul Jay fishing peg 13 (again) was catching fish from all his lines. Simon had managed to get the fish going on his 5m line and was putting a good run of together despite loosing a few.
