Cromwell Lake

The second match in the 'little & large' Saturday series took place at the weekend. In sunny conditions, although fewer big fish were caught, the weights were again good for such hot weather.

The aim is to get good points for each net, one with fish under 1 lb and the other for fish over that weight. This week the anglers who took the first two places overall were not the ones with the top weights in either category. Graham Gooddraw, with the third best small fish net and fourth place in the big net competition, was the overall winner from Keith Ellington with a fourth and sixth place respectively. There were then four anglers equal on points with Steve Ashwell just the best on weight countback.

RESULT (Overall): 1 Graham Gooddraw 35pts; 2 Keith Ellington 32pts; 3 Steve Ashwell 31pts (28lb 4oz); also 31pts John Pratt (25lb 9oz), Ricky Ashwell (19lb 8oz), Terry Allgood (9lb)

Stan did not have the best of days losing his only 'big fish' and apparently losing some of his small fish weight because of a hole in his keepnet.
