The weights are creaping up.

Today’s match saw 14 anglers come out for the Bank holiday Monday Open.

The day was a bit cooler that the previous weekend which was really.warm.

Today’s winner was Mark Newbold who was fishing motorway bank peg 14. After a very slow first two hours Mark potted a big amount of bait to kick start his swim to the right.

10 minutes later he caught an 8lb carp which was the start of a great second half of the match in which Mark caught 135lb of board fish in his final weight of 242-14.

Keeping it close was Andy Rayment on peg 8 who also had a frustrating first 2 hours losing fish.

Andy was fishing 16 metres across the gap and once he stopped feeding by catapult and changed to potting the bait his catch rate increased.

Again Andy had fish to double figures in his catch of 32 carp for 224-12.

Completing the frame and a very good weekend was Michael Corsini who had 100-03 from peg 38 for a 1st, 1st and 3rd.

  1. Mark Newbold today’s winner.

    2nd place for Andy Rayment.
