£20 All-In (Golden Peg/Silver Fish & Carp/ & Pegging
Fee). |
Gary
Thorpe (Ton UP Baits) On one of the better winter pegs
(15) Ton Up Baits backed Gary Thorpe fished at 14/16m on the deck
and caught late on in the match. With most fish coming in the last
2hrs, Gary alternated sweetcorn and pellet hook bait. As the fish
came in quicker and quicker, Gary demonstrated the art of landing
carp quickly without trying to pull their heads off! Consequently,
Gary ran out comfortable winner with the day's only ton up weight
of 113lb 04oz.
Dave
Hawkins (Dorchester) Almost opposite Gary on Peg 27, Dave
Hawkins (Dorchester) was pleased to have drawn the Golden Peg and
looked a likely winner going in the last hour. Fishing mostly sweetcorn
on the hook, Dave took a total of 82-08 and just nudged Chris
Davies into 3rd place who sat on Peg 19 with a 80lb return.
Chris fished much shorter on the revamped peg and made good use
of the new gravel bar, fishing just into the drop off.
Elsewhere
- Expect very few bites in the first hour. Fish taken on sweetcorn
and pellet at distance. Sport has slowed down as a result of a run
of hard frosts (-3 & -4) that sent most carp to the deeper waters.
Expect Roach and Chub to show well next week when Silvers will be
allowed (Must be kept in a separate net)
