DECOY FRIDAY MATCHES

Those fishing the regular Friday matches at Decoy have not had an easy time of late and unfortunately last week’s match was no better.

Leading rod Sean Best managed two big carp and a few smaller samples from peg 22 on the Beastie Lake for a winning 33lb 9oz fishing a feeder over to the island with a popped up pellet.

Leading the chasing pack with 30lb 9oz was Roy Whincup, who caught on a small maggot feeder, then came Chris Saunders on 23lb 4oz.

There was yet another good turnout for the Whittlesey AA match on the Twenty Foot Drain as word gets round about the quality fishing on some of the pegs.

Making no mistake from a good draw was John Taylor with yet another fantastic catch of predominantly roach taken on the pole with pinkie over groundbait weighing in a huge 35lb 13oz.

Runner-up from the next peg was Chris Gale. He put a fine weight of 19lb 14oz to the scales and was followed by Rob Hewison, again pegged between the bridges, who caught on big maggot over groundbait for a weight of 17lb 10oz.
