SUNDAY 11TH

A total change in the weather, no frost but a very brisk  south westerly wind turning very blustery  during the match made conditions extremely difficult for the anglers on the far bank, at times it was hard to present at static bait at more than 6 metres, due to wind and tow.

In first place today was john bennett on peg 14, with 2 carp on the pole (also lost one) in the first hour before the wind increased and then added another 5 on the tip for a total of 70lbs-0.

second was joff rogers fishing sheltered peg 13 who landed 6 carp he lost 3 others for a total of 41lbs-0
