Malc Doyle Summer Series 1st Match 22/06/02

[MALC]

Date : 22/06/02
Venue: Drayton Reservoir
Time : 2pm till 7pm

Todays was the first of 6 matches in the series being run by myself Malc Doyle on commercial Carp waters to raise funds for The BDAA.

Dave Moore about to net his first of 5 Carp for 34lb 13oz & 5th place


Today saw 12 turn up to fish and we had pegs 1 to 12 in the shallows. Expectations were high prior to the start as most fish there had finished spawning by Thursday, and they normally stay in the shallows for a week afterwards.

But in true match style it fished hard by Drayton standards and only 32 fish were landed (although many more were lost) and 4 blanks were recorded.

Although the fishing was hard the weather stayed good and new friends were made.
And also 2 Pole's were smashed in the process.

THE FULL RESULT

1st Keith Ashby 61lb 8oz (6 fish)
2nd Malc Doyle 44lb 1oz (6 fish)
3rd Paul Dolby 37lb 8oz (4 fish)
4th Vic Nugent 36lb 2oz (4 fish)
5th Dave Moore 34lb 13oz (5 fish)
6th Kev Arathoon 23lb 6oz (3 fish)
7th Steve Wilson 17lb 12oz (3 fish)
8th Peter Churton 8lb (1 fish)

8 anglers weighed in 263lb 2oz
