Our 3 hour junior event was the third in the summer series, Tyler Scott has fished peg U and landed a near 10lb carp early in the match, this specimen plus some smaller fish secured victory. Young Charles on the adjoining peg, V has pole fished to a very respectable 2nd spot. Thomas Scott put together a good net for third.
Amazing weights in the latest matches at Stafford Moor with the carp feeding with gusto in the hot weather. The Coombes family have certainly worked extremely hard to provide anglers with one of the countries top fisheries for both Match fishing and carp angling.
The latest open/ practice Match on Tanners & Woodpecker Lakes saw anglers take some amazing weights.
Steve Ford of Mosella put together an impressive catch totalling 487lb 8oz a new record for the venue and not far off 500lb!In fact check out the back up weights too !!!
