Second trip of the season to Float Fish Farm and what a difference 2 weeks can make to the weather ! It was a very warm and dry day with a very light breeze for the anglers on Phoenix Pool.
The Pairs Cup was today’s competition with everyone fishing for an individual weight to then be paired by the luck of the draw hat at the end of the match for a partner.
First place to Pete Wray who ended up with 77 lbs 10 oz from Peg 3. Pete fished a variety of methods including Method feeder to the island and pole at approx 12 meters, both with dead maggots as hookbait and pellet feed.
Second Place to Ray Torrington with 68 lbs 0 oz from Peg 5. Ray also rotating his lines to include hair rigged pellet and wafters on the feeder, plus Maggot at ten metres and the last half hour at 2 plus 1 with cat meat.
Third place to Jason Chatham with 64 lbs 5 oz from peg 31, pole fishing the shallow margins on dead red maggots with the majority of the catch coming in the final half of the match.
Section wins for Nigel Collis, Phil Price and Paul Chambers.
