Hartleylands Farm Match Report & Result (September 24, 2009)

Hartleylands Farm near Cranbrook in Kent was the destination for the 6th qualifier in the Fish to Win Series and as expected Nick's Lake was the place to be but what was more surprising was that Bramley through up bigger weights than Pear Tree Lake. Finishing in 7th place overall came Steve Sanders the lake winner on Bramley with 86lb 4oz and Bruce Welfare (Bowlers) in 9th place overall on Pear Tree with 72lb. Pear Tree was expected to be a challenge to Nick's Lake as it had thrown up some good 150lb+ weights in resent weeks, but today the lake just switched off.

Using the method feeder with dead maggot on peg 6 on Nick's Lake was eventual match winner Russ Berryman (Garbolino - Apollo) who caught fish from the off and tipped the scales with 179lb 14oz, in 2nd place on peg 23 on Nick's Lake with his forth top 3 finish in the series was Robbie Taylor (Preston Innovations - Delcac) who mainly fished at 14m up in the water with 166lb 2oz. In third place on peg 28 on Nick's Lake and also qualifying for the final came Geoff Vallance (Preston Innovations - Delcac) with 152lb who like Russ Berryman fished the method feeder all day with dead maggot as hook bait.

Just missing out on the qualifying spot in 4th place came Steve Davis (SBS) with 93lb 12oz, 5th came Adrian Marshall (Trabuco South East) with 93lb, 6th came Matt Love (NG Floats) with 88lb 12oz, 7th was Steve Sanders with 86lb 4oz, 8th Mick Lock (Garbolino - Apollo) with 77lb, 9th Bruce Welfare (Bowlers) with 72lb and Sophie Hill (SBS) with 69lb. Sophie also caught the biggest fish of the day which was a 10lb carp.

We now move back to Essex for the 7th qualifier at Tylers Common's Horseshoe Lake in Brentwood Essex and with all 60 pegs in promises to be a hard match which can be won from anywhere.
