Bomb beats the cold at Makins Fishery
Nisa (Weds)
Guru Makin’s Fishery, Lake 4 (22 pegs)
On a bitterly-cold day after a night of heavy rain, Lake 4 fished very well, with every competitor catching at least one carp.
Daz Shaw was on peg 8, where he returned to top form with 56-0-0 for victory. He alternated between bread and pellet on the bomb to take carp throughout the match.
On peg 2, Simon Skelton waited 90 minutes for his first bite, but then using the pellet cone he netted five carp in as many casts, including a fish of 16lb 10oz to end up with 51-6-0 and second place.
Result: 1 D Shaw, Team Makin’s, 56-0-0; 2 S Skelton, Maver/Dynamite Baits, 51-6-0; 3 T Sanderson, Angling Man, 42-0-0; 4 A Neale, Tackle Shack, 34-8-0; 5 S Collett, Guru, 25-0-0; 6 S Smith, Kobra, 24-12-0.
