Date : 6/07/02
Venue: Browning Cudmore nr Stoke
Time : 2pm till 7pm
Saturday saw 13 of us descend on Browning Cudmore for the second of six matches in this series, which is sponsored by SillyBait to raise funds for The BDAA.
The overall winner of the series is to be decided on weight and going into this match Keith Ashby was out in front with 61lb 8oz which was 17lb 7oz in front of second placed Malc Doyle with 44lb 1oz and 24lb ahead of third placed Paul Dolby with 37lb 8oz.
And so on to this match which was fished on Little Tara pool at Browning Cudmore near Stoke.
RED came as well
A few incidents occurred as is normal to make this a match to remember not least my car breaking down on the way and Cudmore loosing the prepaid deposit and that was before the start.
But i was hopefull that the fishing would make up for the above incidents.
But as with the first match at Drayton the fishing was not at it's best to say the least although a few managed to get some fish into the net.
The result from the top 3 was close as only 1 fish separated them as follows :
1st..Kev Arathoon...38lb
2nd..Keith Ashby....34lb
2nd..Lee Mays.......34lb..(guest)
4th..Steve Wilson...25lb 4oz
5th..Paul Dolby.....24lb
6th..Dave Moore.....9lb 11oz
7th..Andy Stevens...9lb 8oz
8th..Peter Churton..6lb 2oz
9th..Malc Doyle.....5lb 8oz
10th.Vic Nugent.....3lb 2oz
11th.Nick Jones.....1lb 2oz
Scott Essery & Tim Westmoreland..Did Not Weigh In.
Biggest fish on the day fell to Paul Dolby on Pole and Paste and weighed 10lb 8oz (pictured below)
The Overall League Positions after this match are now as follows :
1st...Keith Ashby....95lb 8oz
2nd...Kev Arathoon...61lb 14oz
3rd...Paul Dolby.....61lb 8oz
4th...Malc Doyle.....49lb 9oz
5th...Dave Moore.....44lb 8oz
6th...Steve Wilson...43lb
7th...Vic Nugent.....39lb 4oz
8th...Peter Churton..14lb 2oz
9th...Andy Stevens....9lb 8oz
10th..Nick Jones......1lb 2oz
Scott Essery,Tim Westmoreland & Jimmy Leedham are yet to weigh in.
What most found to be the high point of the day was when i went for a swim to rescue a coot that had swam off with Churt's top kit and then managed to snag itself in a tree in the main Island.
Me on the way to rescue the Coot.
After freeing the Coot (that was no worse for it's ordeal) from the pole and tree Churt got his top kit delivered back to his peg.
Strange creature from the Pool returning a top kit.
At the raffle afterwards 27 was raised for the BDAA.
The next match in the series is on Saturday 27th July at Clattercote Reservoir and if anyone wants to join us i've still got 5 spare pegs so just E-mail me and i'll send you the details.
