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.
NB. ‘Kobra’ Open Matches are run at Dynamite Makins every Wednesday on Phase 1. Telephone 07749 284 823, or be in the Car Park by 9.15 a.m. (£15 all in at the draw).
