White Acres Solero Festival

Day Four

We have reached the final day of the annual White Acres Solero ladies festival, it has been a cracking week and the ladies have been lucky with the weather – for a change!

The ladies are back on to Python today so let’s see who does the business today, read on for the final match report and to see who the 2010 champion lady is.

A Section Python Narrows

Plenty of fish caught today but as they are of a smaller stamp the weights weren’t high but in some cases ounces were making the difference in the points gained. Wendy Locker was the lake winner with 30lb 3oz; Wendy was on peg 22 and caught long on the pole with pellet. Second on peg 34 was Helen Dagnall, Helen caught mainly F1’s on the pellet across to the island for a weight of 26lb 2oz. Lisa Ford weighed in with 19lb 10oz to take third, Lisa caught on the bottom at 6 meters on the pole with pellet from peg 32.

Section Winners

Wendy Locker peg 22 6 points 30lb 3oz
Helen Dagnall peg 34 6 points 26lb 2oz

B Section Python Wides

Once again the weights were very close in the wides with all the anglers producing reasonable nets of fish. Winning the lake with a great weight of 63lb 13oz was Sam Perkins; Sam was on peg 15 and caught on paste close in and down the edge. Melanie Bates was on peg 13 and was second with 34lb, Melanie caught on the pole at 10 meters with meat over maggot. Third was Heather Dewey, Heather caught on the on the long pole on the deck with pellet from peg 7 for a weight of 32lb 9oz.

Helen Dagnall makes it a clean sweep on maximum points for the second year running to once again take the victory. The three England internationals take the top three spots with just one point separating Helen from Wendy & Sam and Sam piped Wendy into second place with a superior weight.

Cash prizes go to the top five and additional sponsorship from Walls Solero means we were able to provide prizes for the top 8 anglers.

Wendy, Helen & Sam have also very generously sponsored a mystery weight prize each day for the ladies fishing and provided some great giveaways.

The festival attracted 20 ladies this year and next year we hope to attract even more so if you are a keen female anglers please get in contact with Kirsty to put your name down for this festival which will take part week commencing 2nd July 2011.

The fisheries team would like to express our thanks to Solero for once again sponsoring the event as well as all the ladies for making it such a friendly and enjoyable festival and congratulations to all of the ladies who fished especially our top three Helen Dagnall (Tri Cast Cheshire Angling), Sam Perkins (Dynamite Maver) and Wendy Locker (Tackle Locker Drennan)
