Open Match on Tench & Carp Ponds.
This week’s open saw milder, but windy conditions which made things tough for the majority of the lads fishing the pole.
Thankfully for Robbo, who was on peg 12 on Tench Pond, the wind wasn’t too much of a problem as he’d decided to fish the waggler tight to the dam wall.
Robbo started with corn on the hook, fished at full depth and was rewarded with an early mirror carp of approx 6lbs.
This was followed by 3 more decent carp in the next hour or so, but things slowed up after that.
A non productive hour on the pole forced Robbo back on the waggler and despite losing 3 more foul-hooked fish, he added 4 more carp together with 4 roach for his winning total 55lbs 7oz.
Harry Bignal took 2nd with 48lbs 1oz from peg 31 on Tench. Harry had a few decent carp on the tip and a couple on the pole at 16m.

1st Robbo, 55:07, peg 12 on Tench.
