Tim Guise came very close today.
Who drew peg 9 today ?
Clue he used to be a member of the magic circle.
Todays winner John Bennett only just !
Today as the anglers gathered at the draw they were greeted with the big lake totally covered with leaves which was going to make fishing quite a challenge as you would have get your bait in the water without catching a leaf. With the weather cooler and drizzle expected hopes for a good days fishing without foul hooked fish were going to be realized today. With only the big lake being used as the pleasure anglers were fishing the small lake a draw that gave you an end peg would help a great deal ,so pegs 9,32,16,and 26 would give you the best chance of a big weight .
As the anglers drew the one thing they feared was John Bennett and his magic trick of drawing peg 9 as his tackle was already on that side of the lake and the anglers could not believe when he did just that even drawing 6th. The all in sounded and the anglers cautiously started feeding but need not of worried because the fish were ready to have a good old feed today so no small kinder cups were required just a big old hand full of pellet to start with. With me not being able to fish due to work commitments i turned up a half way and was happy to see most of the anglers catching from both sides of the lake on a variety of baits from paste to corn to meat to banded pellet.
Todays winner for about the hundreth time was lake owner John Bennett on peg 9 but today he was going to be run very close and in the end he was going to be only one fish ahead. The great thing about John is that he fishes very positively and also very simply and even that is too hard for me. John fished along the edge to his right towards and into the big bush that the fish live under and fishing a combination of corn and meat on the deck and lifting and dropping his rig to induce bites, gave John a run of big fish {his board weight was 122-00} in his final weight of 255-12.
In second place was Tim Guise on peg 26 who was fishing at a short range of 4-5 metres just in front of the left bush and by fishing paste and banded pellet this brought Tim lots of bites and again lots of big fish {his board weight was 126-08}. Both baits were fished on the deck down the first shelf were the fish normally patrol and apart from the big fish Tim also had another 120-00 of small fish 5-7lb in his final weight of 247-12 and one fish off a match win.
Completing the frame was Mick Jones on peg 14 and Mick fished his normal short range meat fished on the deck feeding quite heavy which brought him lots of bites and foul hooked fish. In the last hour and a half the fish settled and Mick's catch rate increased to keep him clear of Brian Beasley on peg 28 with his weight of 172-04.

Adele Beasley with a beautiful common of 17-02
