HOTPOINT

Hotpoint AC were at Decoy Lakes on Sunday using Lou’s Lake for their annual sweetcorn only match for the Barry Buckingham Shield.

I am not at home fishing with sweetcorn but do have a knack of putting a few fish in the net in this match each year.

I drew peg 14 and they decided to miss out peg 15. So it was happy days for me and I went on to catch 99lb 4oz and record my fourth win in six years in this event. Most of the fish I caught in the margins.

Runner-up was Tyrone Horn with 91lb 12oz then came Vince Stapleton on 87lb 15oz.
