It fished brilliantly the first day was won with 210lb with 40 weights over 100lb Jason Le bos
the 2nd day much the same with Rob Wootton winning with223 or 4 lb to take the title some harder bits the second day but one lake had 100lb last in the section 😉
must be the best fishery in the country thoughs of you fishing the big match this are in for right treet me i was simply out of my depth this year as the fish didn’t really want feeding mugging and shallow the first day and margins in the second day with toss pots and small nuggets of G/B . Not being a commercial angler i was there for the memories of Ivan but boy what a fishery 😉

Ivan Marks Memorial day 2.

What a difference a day makes, 100 anglers fished in glorious conditions with a nice southerly breeze putting a ripple on most pegs
Most people wanted to draw Glebe 1 in the big numbers after yesterdays match.
Today the fish on Glebe 1 just carried on spawning and were less interested in feeding.
The place to be was Glebe Pools 4,5,6 & 7 where almost everyone weighed in over 100lbs.
In total 39 anglers weighed more than 100lbs and 4 anglers had over 199lbs.

It was going to be a close call between the top 4 anglers, but at the weigh in Leicester’s Dynamite Rob Wooton just had enough with a fantastic weight of 243lbs fishing up in the water on Glebe 1 peg 2.
Marukyu angler Mick Wilkinson hard pushed him with 223lbs from Glebe Pool 4.
Young angler Ben Sharp of Melton Angling was also pushing hard with 206lbs from Glebe 1 peg 30.
Always consistent Preston backed Angler Adam Wakelin fishing on Glebe Pool 5 down the margin weighed a very credible 199lbs.
Linda Marks presented the trophy for the fourth time to Rob Wooton, fishery owner Roy Marlow commented that Rob is an outstanding gifted angler at any method of catching fish and it was a flawless performance.

IVAN MARKS MEMORIAL 2014

The 10th Ivan Marks Memorial event was held at Mallory Park Fisheries Saturday 17th May

A scorching day greeted the 80 competitors and expectations were mixed.
The fish started to spawn on Glebe Pool 1 and everyone had fish thrashing everywhere. This did not stop the fish feeding and the results from every lake were outstanding with almost half the field weighing in more than 100lbs.

At least 9 Anglers were in the running to try and achieve the highest individual weight of the two-day event.
The highest individual weight of either day will receive the prestigious Ivan Marks Trophy from Linda Marks

The top 9 weights were as follows
Jason Bosquet ​210lbs
Steve Coway​203lbs
Mark Fox ​199lbs
Adam Wakely ​196lbs
Rich Bedder​195lbs
Kev Russell ​193lbs
Chris Allan ​191lbs
Aran Wells​185lbs
Andrew Williams​170lbs

Tomorrow (Sunday) the highest weight angler will have to catch more than 210lbs to beat the top weight today that was Jason Bosquet.
Scores of anglers have fished this friendly event every year and although many are not top-flight anglers they all comment how nice it is just to be fishing this event.

Linda Marks supports several great charities and entry ticket proceedings from everyone will be distributed to them.

Roy Marlow fishery owner would like to thank everyone for making this event so good.
