Landsend, Speci Lake, 5 September (15 pegs)

With 15 booked into the 16 peg specimen lake at Landsend it was expected to be tough going and for many that was the case.  Not so however, for Darren North (Mr Consistent) whose golden draw hand managed to pull out peg 25 which was the only peg on the lake with an empty peg next door.
Darren fished pellet shallow into open water easily winning the match with 80-1.
Second in the running was Psv's paste maestro, Mark Radford with 67-10 taken unsurprisingly on paste at 16m from peg 38 followed by Mark's son Ryan on peg 40 with 49-10.
Chris Szakacs completed the frame from peg 33 with 43-10.
The silvers, as normal, was in the safe hands of Bob (The Bream) Warren with 14-8 of mostly skimmers taken on a variety of baits from peg 32.
Bob swears blind that he doesn't target silvers intentionally but having had a sneak peak at his bait tray I have my suspicions .... soaked micro-pellet ???




A rare appearance from Psv's club chairman and self-made millionaire, Mike Wilson resulted in this double-figure chub!
