Phil's day

Hi all, its a bit late but fished the Weds match at the Malcolm Barker club lake, but first we had some personal business to attend to. We planted a flowering cherry tree in the grounds of Malcolm Barker in memorial to John Pretious and with that done we drew our pegs. I drew peg 15 not one cared for but that's the luck of the draw. I made up 3 tops: 2 for 10 meters; and one margin rig. I cupped out a little crumb and red maggots with some micro pellets. It took an hour before my first bite from a small roach and then half ab hour later my second bite a tench about 1 1/2lbs. Things just got interesting. I went on to catch a few more roach and rudd and 3 more tench to give me 8lbs 13oz for 2nd place.

Well done to the framers 1st Tony Parker with 14lbs 2oz, 2nd Phil Whitmill 8lbs 13oz, 3rd Barry Cornel with 6lbs 4oz and 4th Peter Green with 4lbs 1oz
