Report:
In spite of the cold east wind, Lake Two at Dynamite Baits Makins provided sport all from all areas to all methods for the Wednesday KOBRA Open, as well as a tight result.
On peg A20 local angler Shane Sayer (Sensas) took 30 carp for 166 lb 14 oz on pellet waggler to win on his first visit to the lake this year, just edging out Preston Innovations ace and venue expert Andy Findlay (peg A4) who fished pole (10m) with pellet at depth to also take 30 carp for his 165 lb 8 oz.

Third placed Wendell Ward (Best Baits) would also have been ‘in the mix’ had it not been for several lost big fish, although his waggler at depth tactic fished at 20m put 27 carp on the scales for 137 lb 6 oz from peg B17.
