A Good Start

Promising start for Drennan Team England.
Match Fishing's runners on the bank report a good start for Drennan Team England, who are fishing the World Championships in Warsaw, Poland.

In A section, Des Shipp is thought to be among the leaders with six small roach, and a bonus 12oz skimmer, which should give him around 550g. Despite an early bream of 2kg for the Italian angler, the Bristol ace is now clawing back the lead, and is catching fish steadily.

With no bonus fish yet recorded in B section, Steve Hemingray is thought to be doing very well, with 12 small fish also putting him up there with the sections best performers. His last two fish have been a good stamp too, so he could even be leading the section at this early stage.

Several anglers surprised the England runners in C section, by starting out for bleak and catching a run of chunky fish in quick succession. Bites have now dried up for these anglers however, and England's Will Raison has started to put a run of roach together, fishing bloodworm on the short pole. He is thought to be catching the early leaders, and is currently lying somewhere around the middle of the section.

In D section, Alan Scotthorne has taken ten roach on short pole bloodworm tactics. With a weight of around 200g, he is thought to be lying in the top half of his section.

In E section, the current World Champion, Sean Ashby is doing very well - and certainly among the top five anglers in his section. He has caught seven roach up to now, but is getting bites, and is reported to be putting in a very smooth performance.
