The earlier rain passed through and the competitors enjoyed a pleasant, but breezy evening. The top 3 positions probably changed several times in this, the third match in the league. Mike’s last gasp decent carp, added to a net of better bream proved to be the winning catch, on peg 19 pole fished worm and maggots.
Martin’s mainly smaller fish net on peg 8 on caster, pushed Nathan’s all paste carp bag into third place.
Martin takes a one point lead in the league at this early stage.
