13 fished today - dull, mild and very breezy throughout with occasional 'mizzle'.
It was a surprise to see that all the nearside bushes and vegetation from peg 30 to about peg 23 had been completely cleared. Strange to see them in glorious isolation. I understand from Trevor that this was done as part of a set of actions to help maintain/improve water quality and oxygen levels.
Fishing today was for the most part pretty steady. Mick had his best drawing hand out again for peg 30 and secured the win with a solid 170lb.
The far bank was a closely fought contest with several anglers in it and only a few pounds separating the top weights. Keith came out ahead for 2nd place with 134lb, closely followed by Mark with 131lb for 3rd. Gino (130lb) was close and Kyle (126lb) secured his first ever match ton. Well done to all.
Result:
1. Mick peg 30 - 170-12lb
2. Keith peg 5 - 134-04lb
3. Mark peg 4 - 131-12lb
4. Gino peg 1 - 130-00lb
5. Kyle peg 2 - 126-08lb
6. John peg 29 - 123-04lb
7. Clive peg 8 - 112-12lb
8. Peter (guest) peg 3 - 105-04lb
9. Tony R peg 6 - 101-04lb
10. Josh peg 28 - 96-04lb
11. Chris T peg 12 - 91-08lb
12. Dave C peg 27 - 72-00lb
13. Jim peg 10 - 44-14lb
