We have 10 anglers on each lake for this league which leaves plenty of room for all,but with a couple of people on holiday and one who couldn't make it at the last moment we had even more room which was just as well.
After yet another frost the fishing was going to be challenging to say the least, but making no mistakes in this 5 hour endurance test was Darren North who showed his worth in managing to secure a section win and a first on the day from the iron jetty peg 6,with Vince Shipp to his left and Steve the bread Rogers over on peg 8 he was going to have his work cut out.
A bit of a slow start for all but that soon changed for Darren after dobbing his rig in down the edge towards peg 7 he never looked back, with plenty of bites coming to soft pellet over micro feed he managed to stay in front of Phill Harding by just a 1 lb come the end.
Phill was over on peg 23 on the canal lake and caught three good carp and some skimmers on caster which was a good enough to secure a section/lake win.Best silvers on the day went to Vince Shipp on peg 5 who caught some bonus tench and a handful of small skimmers all falling to maggot over pinkies.There were plenty of small fish caught on both lakes but not much quality but with the water gin clear it was hardly surprising. Stu Foale had a nice net of baby skimmers and small roach from peg 30 on the canal fishing expanders over g/bait
The results were back in the New inn Westerleigh where the usual array of banter and p### taking took place.
