Report:
The Thursday Kobra Open at Dynamite Baits Makins, held on Lagoon Pool, was fished in a heavy snow storm, only three weighing in.

Dynamite Matchman Supplies backed Steve Keightley (peg 5) was the only angler who fished the pole in the adverse conditions.  He was rewarded with a bream and 3 carp in a brief spell 2 hours from the end, all taking corn at 14m, which gave him a winning weight of 11 lb 10 oz.

Kobra Feeders backed John Adamson (peg 3) took second place with 2 carp on bomb and corn for 10 lb 8 oz, his first fish after 4 successive ‘blank’ matches, with Coventry angler Eddie Keene (peg 15) taking third place with 2 carp for 9 lb 10 oz on bomb and bread.

Report:
Although all lakes were iced over when anglers arrived for the Wednesday Kobra Open on Lake 4 at Dynamite Baits Makins, it proved easy to break and had completely gone by 11.30 am.

LEVAS angler Dave Kent (peg 12) landed the first carp at 11am, and after he lost 2 the shoal moved across the lake to peg 20, where Garbolino backed Ritchie Hull took 4 quite quickly on bomb and corn.  In spite of regular ‘liners’, Ritchie only landed one more carp to win the match with 29 lb 14 oz. 

Dave Kent finished with 3 fish for 18 lb 12 oz (all on bomb and corn), with Derek Hartshorne (Swan Baits) taking third place with 2 carp on bomb and corn and several roach on pole and caster.

It was of interest that all anglers on pegs 1 – 15 had ‘liners’ throughout, showing fish are moving around.

Report:
Anglers arriving for the Wednesday Kobra Open at Dynamite Baits Makins found ice had formed overnight on several lakes, and although Lake Four was clear it was ‘gin’ clear.

Dynamite Matchman Supplies backed Steve Keightley, fishing peg 9, had two bites on hair rigged corn (fished on straight lead) around 1pm. The first produced a bream of around 4 lb and the second a small skimmer, enough for his first win on the venue.

Runner up Shane Desmond (Dynamite Matchman Supplies) had one bite (corn on straight lead) and caught the only carp of the match weighing 3 lb 10 oz for second place.

Because Lakes 2 and 4 have failed to produce much since the ice melted, the KOBRA OPEN on Wednesday 3 February will be on Lake 5.

Report:
In an attempt to avoid the strong wind and driving snow, anglers were pegged along the more sheltered bank of Lizard at Dynamite Baits Makins on the Thursday Kobra Open, and for most, excepting a few small ‘silvers’, it proved a waiting game.

Swan Baits backed Derek Hartshorne (peg 29) continued his superb run at Dynamite Baits Makins with another win, clinched when he landed a 10 lb carp on the final whistle.  This, alongside several roach and perch taken on waggler and caster in the first 4 hours, plus two smaller carp plus the ‘lump’ taken on bomb and corn in the final hour, lifted his weight to 18 lb 8 oz.

Second placed Andy Findlay (Korum / Preston Innovations) on peg 31 stuck it out on corn, and landed 4 carp in the last 30 minutes for his 16 lb 10 oz.

Report:
Lake 4 at Dynamite Baits Makins fished hard in the Wednesday KOBRA Open, and there were several dry nets.

Dynamite Matchman Supplies’ angler Jimmy Haley was the only angler on the lake that bites throughout the day.  Fishing peg 10, Jimmy caught on corn presented on straight bomb, and from time to time used a ‘pellet cone’ to keep fish coming to end with several carp, a bream and a tench for 48 lb 2 oz.

In contrast, Duncan Warrall (Attleborough Angling) on peg 13 persevered with straight corn and, alfter only having the odd ‘line bite’ throughout the day was rewarded by 5 good carp in the last 45 minutes for his second placed 35 lb 6 oz.

Derek Hartshorne (Swan Baits) on peg 7 took third with 22 lb 2 oz (a bream and 4 carp) fishing hair rigged pellet over loose pellet feed.
