Match Overview

Seven turned out on a very wet and windy day for latest O.A.P. winter series match and were surprised at how well Decoy fished. Norman Cragg showed the rest a clean pair of heels winning comfortably from consistent peg 36 weighing in a very impressive 54-0-0 which consisted of twelve Carp and a lone skimmer. He fished the method feeder all day with pellets on the feeder and a 6mm red wafter. Second went to Steve Pead on the opposite bank on peg 7, he fished bomb and bread before switching to the method feeder and dead maggots for five Carp and also a single skimmer for a level 24-0-0. Dave Harper came third from peg 9 landing three Carp and three skimmers for 20-0-0 alternating between the cage feeder and method feeder using various baits.
