Well done Kev.

unfortunately my weight from yesterday was surpassed by two anglers on uglies today. John Hall(Marukyu) won the event overall with around 280lb fishing shallow at 16m, peg 48. Richard morgan (Marukyu) was second with around 260lb in the corner peg 44. the foundation lake threw up third place for Chris Downes (Marukyu) with around 170lb. i beleive all the sections were won with over 100lbs today. i didnt do any good from peg 73 on pool 4 catching only 5 carp! but a great event all around the fishery.

I Had a nice days fishing today and winning lake 1 with 122lb……

3 awesome weights from uglies/Foundation today well done john/scott/chris~clap ~clap ~clap

big thanks to roy and the lads the fishery looks brilliant as always
even i managed 115lb ~think can’t imagine what a good angler would of had ~sick ~sick ~sick

still a great day boys see you next year or mybe before~shh ~shh

Kev the second day is always better than the first – that was a great weight you had considering the fish haven’t been fed for ages and were probably spawning. Yours was probably the outstanding weight of the festival but that’s the way it goes.

the IVAN MARKS FESTIVAL
Today at 7:03am well this is getting a habit this commercial fishing this weekend saw the IVAN MARKS FESTIVAL on the glebe a venue that is always at the top of my favourite list
it’s got everything and is well maintained by the lads on day one Saturday i couldn’t fish something to do with the weather and everyone wanting beer,salad barbecue and ice creams still you can’t knock it it might rain for the rest of the summer
still i made a few phone calls to see how it was fishing it was terrible most of the fish were spawning in the reeds and the rest just swimming around the odd pegs had got a few feeding fish but most resorted to mugging fish as they past through the swim i never heard about mugging fish before so Saturday night i got all the gear and no idea of what i was going to do or fish i slipped my balaclava in just in case i was going to mug a few as well
woke up nice and early sunday as the shop alarm had gone off at 4.14am another problem that comes with this weather still i was up
sat down had a bit of breakfast and started getting yet more gear ready
on arrive i had chosen some cool clothes to wear first mistake and was quickly named the best dressed angler on the bank it had started the BANTER and i was 15 love down as soon as i stepped out of the van
i love these matches as you get to see all your old mate young and old have a few coffee’s and a chat taking the p1ss out of the serious anglers that are itching to get fishing
anyway the draw takes place 120 anglers over 8 llakes puts my hand in and pulls out 76 i have no idea where it was or what lake so off i went to get a bit of info then roy told me i had drawn endpeg lake 5 sounds good then he said that the day before the match had been won on that lake but the other end and my reeds were full of spawning fish
still what a difference a day makes

what a nice looking peg and not a fish crashing around all the fish seamed to be down the other end but were crashing like mad and it was flat calm

we had a little breeze and hopefully it would get up during the day
then my phone rang sean huggins has just turned up and has drawn next to you with out doubt he is one of the best commercial anglers around and is having a good run at th moment still the banter would be good
ii set up 2 feeder rods and 4 margin rigs i thought if i was going to have any chance to beat Sean I’d got to fish positive even though i’d drawn a better peg sean was quiet happy with his draw
clipped up fiirst cast foul hooked carp one nile to the carp sean 3 carp in the first 15 minutes six in half hour
my second fish broke my landing net handle as it flipped at just the wrong time so that was a quickdash around to one of the lads for a spare at this point i’m thinking why-o-why do i put myself through this sort of fishing
after a litre of water i thought NO it’s not going to happen this way today ,the one thing i was getting drawn into was chasing sean as if i was going to pin point my feeder like he was SO AGAIN I HAD TO MADE A DECISSION which would be second nature to the commercial boys
i’d feed the margins and thought thats it thats what i’m going to do well i couldn’t buy a bite for the longest time and then out the blue it was a fish a chuke it seamed you’d get three and it went quite for ten minutes and then another three and good fish so i had started to come back BUT again the decissions that are second nature to the experts were going around my head at 80mph what if,should i,mybe if anyway going into the last hour which i needed a good one i got broke and lost two bloody great sean was catching shallow as well
well when the scales arrived sean said i’d beaten him and was saying he’d beat me
i weighed 115lb should of could of a million things went wrong but came away having learnt stacks of sean
sean weighed 117lb just going to show just how good the bloke is
he caught shallow,feeder,pellet waggler and margins
john hall won the day with 28 carp fo
