Viaduct, Cary, 2 June (22 pegs)

Unsurprisingly I was going to put this up on Sunday night but I only got as far as doing the results before I fell asleep but anyway...
Another good turnout with 22 fishing, it was almost 23 but I don't take bookings in Shipham cafe on Sunday mornings and as the Fry's match on Campbell was also full (with 13 fishing) so Aaron Britnell had to make do with coaching Adam Caswell for six hours.
For a change the sun was shining and as a result the carp were starting to spawn all over the complex and those that weren't were cruising around in groups looking for love.
The day before had seen the 83 peg Maver qualifier spread over Campbell, Cary, Lodge and Spring with the top weight of 150-12 coming from peg 111 on Campbell.  Cary had fished quite hard with a top weight of 90-ish so it was looking interesting.
To cut a long story short I caught early on the pellet waggler and kept odd fish coming by switching between the wag at various depths and straight lead with pellet. I never had a fish in the last two hours apart from 2 foulers that both came off but the first four hours were enough to win with 102-4 from peg 85.
I did have 1 skimmer that went straight back as I thought I would need my third net and then never had another fish so maybe that was a bit of a jinx (never mind).
Quite a way behind in second place was last week's winner Stewart Riddle on peg 96 with 87-5.  Stewart caught in a similar fashion but had most of his fish on the waggler on the deck.
Third place went to Adam Caswell (coached by Aaron) with 76-2 caught on meat over pellet and meat feed at 16m.  Adam and Aaron also managed the top silvers weight of 31-13.
Mike Smith was fourth with 73-9 from peg 81 caught mainly on the lead down towards the end of the spit.
And fifth place went to Chris Szakacs with 73-0 although his carp net went over yet again which cost him dearly yet again! (some people never learn)
This Sunday we are at Sedges on the canal and I won't be there as I'm away camping and it's a pole venue so if you want to book in you need to get in touch with Louis Spence lookalike Alan Healy (07846 581 971)
He does lifts and will even do a detour to pick your fishing kit up if it involves a free breakfast!
