Edaa Lakeview Open
The EDAA Lakeview Open result from Lakeview Fishery, Devon...
Lakeview Fishery, Morchard Road Village, Devon | Date of match: 08/01/2012
Number of anglers: 14
Exeter members fished an open match at Lakeview Fishery in Morchard Road Village on Sunday 8th January. Conditions leading up to the competition weren't favourable with heavy rain increasing the water level significantly. On the day the wind was a problem for some anglers making delicate presentation of bait difficult. In the end the top weights came from the point pegs by the car park with two anglers pulling away from the rest of the field. The best approach for the majority was a 4 or 6mm expander pellet fished over micro or 4mm pellet. Accurately feeding small amounts was key to keeping the fish coming throughout the duration.
Some anglers also caught on maggot but the resident micro-rudd made this more difficult. Top weight on the day picking up £60 was Graham Davey with 47lb of carp averaging a pound, Exeters new match secretary Gary Thornton took the second place prize of £40 with 45lb 8oz his catch included some larger fish with carp to 9lb.
The final prize went to Mark Hayman on the favoured point swim taking home £20 for his 36lb catch. The remaining top ten as follows: 4th, Wayne mitchell 32lb 8oz, 5th Steve Hayman 30lb, 6th Zac Newton 28lb 8oz, 7th Ade Croft 27lb 12oz, 8th Andy Bulled 27lb 4oz, 9th Keith Carpenter 26lb 4oz, 10th Eddie Evans 15lb.
