Garbolino Silver Fish Festival
Umbrellas and wet weather gear were the key for the start of day three. It was dull and overcast with the occasional showers but the weather didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit especially Adam Wakelin’s as he went in to day 3 being first overall.
Adam leading with 2 section wins then went on to pick up his third for the week bagging 6 points from a 28lb 10 oz from peg 14 on Jenny’s near bank fishing in 3 foot of water using castors, his overall weight now stands at 105lb 16oz and a perfect 18 points. Harry Billing still stands at second place overall, netting an impressive 39lb 13oz of mainly roach from peg 45 on Jenny’s lodge bank. Harry fished shallow over castors but was beaten to his third section win by Martin Cocks who weighed in 43lb 11oz meaning Harry had to settle for 5 points.
Third overall is Ritchie Hull who has fished consistently over the three days and has now crept into the top 3, Richie scooped up 5 points from his section fishing on Sycamore peg 3 again fishing shallow over castor and weighing in 28lb 15oz.
Garbolino’s Darren Cox picked up 5 points from peg 5 on Jenny’s near bank narrowly missing out on a top three spot, but with 2 days of fishing left who knows what can happen.
The sections are smaller in this festival with only 6 points for a win, one good day or one bad day currently means the difference between 4th and 24th place so the action is hotting up.
