Landsend Match Lake, 4 Oct 2009 (14 pegs)

Brian Shanks nailed his second win at Landsend in as many weeks having been gifted "flier" peg 19 at the draw. However, it wasn't plain sailing for the Westerleigh based angling legend as Paul Elmes, on neighbouring peg 18, was also sat on carp and at the weigh-in only 7lbs separated the two of them.
With the water temperature dropping over the last two weeks due to the colder Autumn nights the Landsend carp appear to have shoaled as 4 out of the top 5 weights came from the same area of the lake.
The drop in temperatures also meant that they weren't having "the paste" and so proper fishing was the order of the day!

Simon Belcham claimed third spot from peg 13 with 57-10 caught mainly from the platform of peg 14 and Paul Reed was 5th from peg 16 with 45-3.
The only exception was from "Mr consistent", Darren North, on peg 9 (the golden peg).
Darren did well to take 56-15 from a peg that is usually left out of matches.



Sixth place was filled by Ryan (pullabung) Jordan in corner peg 24 with 40-4 caught mostly tight to the edge at 14m on pellet.
Top silvers went to new member Neil Mercer with 15-0 of mostly pellet-caught skimmers and a goldfish from peg 21.
