MVAS – Barming Float Only Result

Float only today on the Medway and I drew peg 47, set up 2 pole lines and a rod. The first line was at 13m where I chucked 10 balls and cupped 3, on my short line I cupped in 2 balls and loose fed maggot. Started on the 13m line and started getting bites straight away, in the first hour I had 25 fish and then I hooked something decent and a nice 3lb bream into the net! I carried on fishing this line for the rest of the day, I had a bite almost every run through and ended up with 5 small bream and loads of roach up to 1lb. Ended up with 21lb which won the match with second having 11lb!

Report by Mick Roberts:
25 Anglers turned out for the 4th match of the series on the Medway on a mild autumn day, perfect for the Waggler. 13 Anglers weighed in over 4lb with the main weights coming from either end of the match length.

1st place went to up and coming junior superstar Ryan Kennison showing his continuing improvement, having given up football to concentrate on match angling. Long pole over crumb on peg 47 produced 5 bream for 21lb 4oz. Well done Ryan, shame you can’t enter the pools though!
On peg 42 Mick Roberts had a good day on the wag ‘n’ mag to weigh an excellent 11lb 15oz of chublets and a bonus Perch over a 1lb eclipsing those around him to take 2nd overall (1st in the pools) and 12 points.
At the other end on peg 13, Jeff Davis took 3rd (2nd in the pools) place honours with a 10lb 13oz mixed bag of wag’n’mag fish including some ‘proper’ roach.

Either side of Jeff, Mick Wright on peg 14 and Ken Burdekin on peg 12 used the same method to tie for 4th place and a share of 3rd place pools with 7lb 11oz.
