An algae bloom at Float Fish Farm on Horseshoe Pool prevented our match from going ahead. So an alternative location was needed for the 12 Anglers. Other local venues were fully booked, so it was a return to the fluff at our own Horseshoe Lake. Consideration was given to the pleasure anglers already fishing and pegs were selected in the fluff free zones.
Today anglers were competing in the Club Cup and with last year’s winner Nathan Grech not available to defend his crown, a chance for a new name on the trophy. Also, the second round of the Individual Knockout Cup with Anglers paired up for an additional edge.
The overall winner from one of the hot pegs was Phil Price. Drawing peg number 19 his much favoured surface controller and dog biscuit would be his go to method. Despite finishing with 103lbs 5oz, Phil still bemoaned the many fish that got away.
Second place to Steve Borrett with 64lbs 1oz from peg number 33. Steve caught using dog biscuit on the surface until he was fluffed out and opted for 2+2 on the pole with Luncheon Meat.
Third place for Stuart Baxter with 42lbs 13oz from peg number 36. Stuart also fished the surface controller and dog biscuit, along with the straight bomb and 6mm pellet.
