Drew up in the corner of the lake and fancied it, only concern was lack of wind..... unfortunately fish followed the wind again.  So only had to sellte for a £2 side bet from Derek Newson....

Day 4
73lb 9oz
Peg 28
3rd overall
31 fished

Back to Gwinear again and drew peg 28, but this time is not an end peg and every peg is in around this area.

The first 2.5 hours I had 1 carp and 9 roach.... then i started to catch on worms and a couple of units down the edge

Lost second place by an ounce to Neil Richards.  Also to add salt to the wound, lost pairs by 2oz!!  A dropped a roach..... an expensive roach.  Sorry Derek Newson.  

Well done to Phil Powell and Mark Baston on winning the random pairs!!

Day 1
Gwinear
Peg 28
158lb
Match Win
10 fished

I've never fished a match before whereby Derek looses his trolley in the lake before the match starts, fair play to Jason jumping in to get the stuff!!!  It don't stop there, mid match Steve Rich (aka Stich) jumps in head first.....

Anyway back to the match at Gwinear, we had a ten peg knock up, the owner gave us half the lake, and I drew spot on.
