Caster is the ‘in’ bait at the fishery right now and it was caster that did the trick for Whincup as he caught on a short pole line up in the water to finish with a fine 194lb 7oz.

Pushing him all the way was Josh Pace, who fished similar tactics but finished just short on 192lb 2oz. Third was Jimmy Brooks on 187lb 5oz.
