Sunday 20th November
Simon Allen stormed to an early lead in the Winter League with a 33lb haul of slabs from the Lower Basin, easily taking a second consecutive victory. Sailor Hill was the only other angler to net nore than the odd 'jammy slab' (Dave's quote, not mine!) with a brace for 12lbs and second place. Sailor caught a large number of very small roach on the punch to add a few ounces to the weight, a sure sign winter is on its way. Nathan Underwood also found a 'Mickey' to see him into third spot and keep him in title contention. Len Codlin netted a slab for the second match running to earn fourth place and keep him up with the early leaders. Another fish of note was a 14oz roach from Kevin Hill, we should see the 1lb barrier broken soon. Remember, its a marathon not a sprint!
Addendum: Apparently Nathan Underwood has already banked a 1lb 1oz readfin! apologies, Ed.
