Steve Allington in the “Hornets” took a catch of 14 fish, 7 x 30’s no weights mentioned and a 40lb+ Common, again no weights mentioned, however he did fill in the bait bit, and as you can imagine, he was yet another lad on the Cell, again 5kg used, a sensible amount.

P.S Talk about a change of luck the good old Arsenal got their arses kicked, still least it was Messi (and not Drogba) I think the worst thing we did was Bendtner scoring that seemed to fire them up a bit!!!

Rael’s over there doing a bit of rehab on his legs, after one of his thick as .... mates pushed him through a shop window, he’s lucky to still be alive!!

Bill and Rael doubled up in swims 9 and 10. Rael went on to catch 11 fish (so he claims) up to 42lbs, and Billy had just 10 inc. 5 x 30’s and the 46lb-8oz Common due to the fact there was money and bets involved Bill reckons Rael only had 9 out, you know the saga!!!

Don’t do it lads, bet on the biggest!! Rael and Bill were using the New Grange and the Cell, probably made by Rael, as he works at Mainline!!

Mark Owen >>> peg “3-7” took 5 fish up to 43lbs. Mark used Cell boilies topped with the New Grange pop-ups, just 5kg that bait combo covers all the bases.

Gary Cottam, Gary and his 2 boys have been regulars for a long time, I think this was their first trip on 3, can’t be sure as they are here a bit, Dad Gary in Peg 12 took a 7 fish catch inc. 2 x 40’s of 43lbs and 49lbs on Premier baits.

Craig Cottam 18yrs in Peg 9 had 6 out on the Premier baits, the Adam >>> who’s 16yrs now, had an 8 fish catch which inc. 2 x 40’s of 41lbs-3ozs and a 47lbs-7ozs Common, then topped it of with a Common just over the magical 50lbs barrier, again on Premier baits.
