The local qualifier of the European Lexus Championships was won by Mr Steve Peart of Worcester with 23 fish on the first day. In second place with 12 fish was Mr Neil Thomas of Middlewich and in third place was Mr Duncan Millar of Loughborough with eleven. Mr Laurence Foster of Birmingham took the largest fish at 4lbs 4ozs.
Day two was the floating line only event and still turned in a good result in the bright sunshine. Bromsgrove man Mr Peter Elliott won the match with ten fish, Mr Steve Peart was second with ten followed by Mr Mike Cocks of Northampton also with ten. Mr Duncan Millar took the best fish of the day at 4lbs 5ozs.
Over the two days the average catch was 5.12 per angler.
Through the week the fish have been very close to the surface taking buzzer, diawl bach, dries and blobs. Although towards the end of the week the bright sun put them a little lower.
The bank has again turned in some good results at the Cornfield and Toft Bay. Just to different though, Mr Ray Cramp of Coventry went to the opposite end and took five for 17lbs 12ozs at Draycote Dam all to the Black Buzzer.
Boats have done well at Rainbow Corner, Dunn’s Bay and Toft Bay.
