Micky Hood, Bowlers, peg 38, 172-4-0

This was truly a landmark day in the history of Lake John and the match scene as the top five all topped 100lb, Micky who is not one to moan at all about any thing started his match on the meat at 7m and hard on the bottom, it only took 15 minutes before he realized that the fish were high in the water and continued the rest of the match at depths of 12" to 18" loose feeding meat by hand, this formula was the winning method last week by his mate Alec Roberts, skimmers to start and bream started to come thick and fast with the odd tench and crusian, after the match Micky told me that he put at least 50lb on the scales in the last hour, wot a days fishing I think its home for a lye down....  

Rob Bishop, MAP, peg 36, 143-8-0

Rob done a reckie last Friday and this was the first time he had seen the lake, so to place second on his first visit is a massive achievement, Rob and Micky did have a team talk before the match and Rob who knows his way around the match scene soon picked it up and was ahead of the winner up until the last hour of the match, this Puddle Dock star will probably be booking in again is my guess, skimmers and bream short on the 6m line and yes it was the meat again.
