Every one of the 21 anglers present wanted to draw a favoured end peg ie 43, 57, 58 and 73. In fact 3 of those produced fish, especially 43 where the winner came from but 73 which was also a 'Golden Peg' never had a bite. In general M2 fished fairly poorly and perhaps the surprises were that fish could not be caught up in the water although they could be seen cruising about and that Colin Provins fished a great match from peg 52 to come 2nd overall. Results :-
1st Darren Clarke, Dynamite Baits, fished the pole with corn and pellet towards the corner from Peg 43 for 52lb 0oz
2nd Colin Provins, GVAC, fished a small method feeder and corn from Peg 52 for 44lb 2oz
3rd Trevor (Budgie) Davis, Sudbury, fished paste down the margin from peg 56 for 35lb 4oz
4th Bob Fuller, Viscount Tackle, fished the feeder and pole down the margin from peg 58 for 35lb 1oz
5th Richard Watson, Nisa Waveney, fished the feeder and corn from peg 57 for 22lb 14oz
6th Matt Dorey, Woodbridge, peg 44 for 21lb 7oz
Monday 5th May - M1
We had a very close match with some very good weights for some of the 26 anglers on M1 today. We very nearly had a golden peg winner for the 3rd time in 2 months as well, with just under 6lb separating the top 2 who both fished a good match catching mostly up in the water.
1st Bob Fuller, Viscount tackle, fished a hard pellet up in the water from peg 29 for 73lb 11oz
2nd Gary Alexander, from Ipswich, fished similar tactics from peg 28 for 67lb 9oz including some large fish.
3rd Colin Provins, GVAC, fished paste down the margin for 52lb 7oz but lost a few fish in the reeds that may have cost him the match.
4th Stephen Cole, from Ipswich, fished a short pole with pellet on the bottom from peg 16 for
45lb 7oz. Stephen included a lot of tench in his catch together with a perch of about 1lb 8oz and a roach over 1lb.
5th Glenn Cousens, Breakaway Tackle, fishing up in the water on a pellet waggler from peg 32 and weighed 45lb 2oz
6th Graham Howe, Viscount Tackle, caught down the margin and on the long pole from peg 41 for 30lb 12oz
