It was a tough match for most with the conditions not being particularly favourable for a big weigh of skimmers. One angler who sussed it was Craig Halksworth who had a mixed bag of skimmers, ide and quality roach for 26lb dead from peg 6. Craig caught on the 11m pole line shallow feeding chop worm and caster through a catapult.

Taking second place was Reed Bradshaw who caught two carp on worm & corn for 18lb and 6 skimmers for 7lb 8oz for a total weight of 25lb 8oz from peg 1. Reed caught the carp by fishing tight to the island and the skimmers over GB and caster in open water at 13m

Rounding off the results was Richard Wood with 14lb 4oz of skimmers, ide and a 3lb barbell. Richard caught shallow by feeding chop worm and caster through a toss pot at 14.5m.

Massive thanks to Reed for the match report!
