The Tuesday club were back at Ferry Meadows fishing Gunwade Lake on the High Bank.

Top rod from peg 33 was Nigel Briggs with 19lb 13oz.

Runner-up was Graham Page on 14lb 12oz, followed by Mike Smith with 13lb 15oz.

It was pleasing to hear that the top three anglers all caught on the pole so there is obviously plenty of fish about on this section of the fishery.

FENLAND RODS

The Six Island Pool on the Decoy complex contiues to be heavily fished but weights have been holding up reasonably well.

This time it was Alan Marshall on the hot peg. He caught on a small feeder fished to the island to weigh in 126lb 10oz.

In second place was Andy Gausden. He wasn’t best pleased to have drawn peg seven out of the bag but he worked hard on caster fished shallow and later caught well in the margins to finish with a very good 103lb.

Trever Dew came in third on peg one, putting 96lb 2oz to the scales.
