MATCH RESULT
DATE: 19th October 2008
VENUE:
Alders Farm
TROPHY: Championship 9
Commentary by Nick Darke:
With the
sun shining brightly and with one of the warmest days in a long time, it looked
promising for a great days fishing. Alders Farm was the venue which is one of
the most popular commercial fisheries in the country so it wasn’t a surprise
when 34 anglers turned up to fish.
We
couldn’t wait to get started. The lake was looking good and fish were showing
everywhere!!
At the
draw we all wanted pegs 1, 2 and 4 as they were the flyers!! Paul Bangs was
fortunate enough to draw peg 1, Joshua Blavins drew
peg 2 and junior Sam Beasley drew peg 4.
As the
whistle blew it didn’t take long for fish to come into our nets. Quite a few of
us caught within the first few minutes but things soon slowed right down. The
fishing was tough with a lot of people struggling to put fish into their nets
at regular intervals. Only a selected few caught well for most of the match.
As
expected, pegs 1, 2 and 4 produced big weights. At the weigh in Martin Adams
(Guest) won the match with 105lb 7oz. Paul Bangs on peg 1 come 2nd with 103lb
1oz. Joshua Blavins on peg 2 come 3rd with 85lb 15oz.
Nick Darke on peg 9 came in 4th with 83lb 3oz and
junior Sam Beasley came 5th with 81lb 5oz on peg 4 which was a new junior match
record. Brian was on far bank flyer peg 38 and in the shallow clear water he
could see the carp shying away from his 0.16mm line. A swap to 0.12mm brought
bites and 6th place overall.
Overall a
very disappointing days fishing considering the stature of the fishery and the
fact that several 200lb + bags were recorded the previous weekend. But hey,
that's fishing!!
