I was out at Float Fish Farm for the Over 50s match on Wednesday, which saw both the Wagtail and Two Island Pools in action.

Danny Carlton was a comfortable winner on Wagtail with 114lb 2oz. He fished the pole close in for most of the day catching on paste over pellet.

I managed some section money with 74lb 3oz and with a couple of other 100lb plus weights the venue is hitting top form.

Over on Two Islands, Harry Murphy topped a strong field in the Easter weekend open on peg 26 with a fine 139lb 11oz from peg 26. Then came Rob Chamberlin on peg seven with 88lb 9oz.

With Wagtail producing a winning 75lb for Phil Aldridge from peg 22 the fishery is back into top form.
