Nice C wasn't too displeased with his last in the bag peg draw and with a biting Northerly wind the carp didn't stray far from their usual haunts.
Feeding 4mm and fishing 6mm pellets over the top on the pole was the winning method.
Well done Nige and section winners.

A tight contest on the roadside for the top 3 individuals.
John caught exclusively on the groundbait feeder with dead and live red maggots to come out on top.
Strong winds made for some poor weights elsewhere.
Fish of the day has to be a 2lb Chub that helped Terry to his section win.
Well done John and framers
