Day One
Gwinear
Peg 16
112lb
I caught on paste at 10 metres in 9 foot of water was best. I used fishery micros as paste and added some Betaine powered. I won my section and came 4th overall. Enjoyable day, wish I knew the venue better, as the peg was worth 150lb. Neil Richards was third overall with 120lb (he had 138lb, but went over in his nets).

Day Two
Trewaters
Peg 23
42lb 9oz. Really struggled, caught a few fish on the swinging rig to the island with 8mm pellets. This was much better as micros was a nightmare with carp getting preoccupied. However, come away frustrated, but optimistic for
Wednesday, as I wanted to put my wrongs right.
Day three
Gwinear
Drew peg 31. Won section with 55lb 13oz. Caught late on paste at 16 metres on the gravel bar. The lake fished very well in places.
Day Four
Trewaters
56lb 7oz. Thought I'd do better, feeding 8mm was the way forward. Simon Gould (comfirmed this too) who is a great angler. Gave me a bit more confidence, however this wasnt the case. I had a nightmare. Feeding fish that was impossible to catch. Chased ghosts for too long. Got my head down on paste and caught a few carp.... but struggled. A few more fish would of saw me frame. Very tight match. Trewaters got the better of me. It is definitely my nemesis. So much for putting my wrongs right?!
Day Five
Mawgan Porth
We haven't been to Mawgan Porth for a few years, such a beautiful venue. Drew peg 25. Fished worms in Hinders Tutti Frutti Expander mix and weighed 50lb 12oz, of mainly small skimmers, a few F1's and a carp. This won the match.

5. Jason Robinson 301lb 3oz
6. Jason Crump 270lb 4oz
Unlucky to Neil as he went over in both nets at Gwinear, 18lb he lost. So really, I'm the winner by default.
Many thanks to Mark Baston who runs all our matches. He does a great job.
