Dragon Watermeadows
5K Qualifier
Ingoldmells (33 pegs)
Pegs in the 40s have been prolific
at this Lincolnshire complex and
Jamie Bonsall took 116-7-0, which
included carp to 8lb, to top this
latest qualifier.
Presenting meat shallow right
across at peg 46 and feeding
next-to-nothing throughout the
match Jamie kept the interest up
by beating his dad Chris, who took
another all-carp 90-13-0 to finish
second!
RESULT: 1 J Bonsall, Avanti, 116-7-0;
2 C Bonsall, Avanti, 90-13-0; 3 D

Fish O’Mania Qualifier
(Weds)
Dynamite Baits Makin’s Fishery
(130 pegs)
Tony Curd made it two Fish O’
final appearances in three years
after winning this second qualifier
of the 2011 event at Makin’s with a
153-11-0 haul.
It was a day when the top five all
recorded three-figure weights
spread across different waters
when many had thought Lake 2
would completely dominate.
The winner did come off that
water though, Guru/Bait-Techbacked Tony drawing peg A9 on
Lake 2 and taking around 20 carp
to 9lb on a combination of Method
feeder and pellet waggler tactics
to finish one good fish in front of
runner-up Tim Dabrowa’s 145-6-0,
the win coming just two years
after the London-based youngster
qualified at Lakeview Fishery.
Faced with an island at 30m,
Tony kicked off with a pellet
Method feeder and 8mm banded
pellet on the hook and with plenty
of carp cruising around on the
surface, he switched to the pellet
waggler and 8mm pellet a little
further away from the island for a
few casts when the feeder line
went quiet – a change that nicked
a few fish to keep his nose in front.
RESULT: 1 T Curd, Guru/Bait-Tech,
153-11-0; 2 T Dabrowa, Fox Match Stanjay,
145-6-0; 3 J Smith, Marukyu Baits,
132-3-0; 4 D Reeve, Daiwa Angling Direct,
129-2-0; 5 L Farmer, Browning Central,
110-12-0.

MAMMOTH HAUL
FOR MARTIN...
Warren hits Barford Lakes with 216-10-0
BY TONY GRIGORJEVS
[email protected]
Warren Martin once again
proved why he is the most
feared angler at Norfolk’s
Barford Lakes when he hauled
out a mammoth 216-10-0 to
take victory during the latest
Maver Match This qualifier.
The Sensas and Lewis’ Angler’s
Gone Fishing Hinckley, used a
Method feeder to reach the end of
the island from his peg 44 draw on
the end of the point – his meat
baits gaining a response from carp
into double figures and a trio of
tench that together made up his
winning weight of 81-13-0.
Runner-up Tony Shepherd, of the
Banbury Gunsmiths squad, looked
to be finishing nowhere as he
struggled at peg 33 with pole and
pellet to catch a few tench and
crucians, but a switch in the final
hour to Method feeder and meat
saved the day as five carp to 8lb
boosted his catch to 76-13-0.
RESULT: 1 M Higgott, Gone Fishing
Hinckley, 81-13-0; 2 T Shepherd, Banbury
Gunsmiths, 76-13-0; 3 M Wiliams, Chiltern

8 R Harris, Chiltern Baits, 53-11-0.
Rycroft Fishery

Match-winner Sam Randall drew
Clover Pool peg 22 and was kept
busy catching carp to 5lb up in the
water. Feeding 4mm pellet and
fishing a small pellet on the hook
the Derby rod recorded 83-14-0.
RESULT: 1 S Randall, Fox Match Trentmen,
83-14-0; 2 C Allan, Marukyu Baits, 82-11-0;
3 D Bamford, Lakeview Select, 73-12-0;
4 P Swinston, Clay Cross, 71-8-0;
World backed ace took advantage
of a good draw on the Match Lake
and used a combination of the
pole and waggler from peg 6 to
take plenty of carp to 9lb.
With very little ripple on the
water when the event began and
lots of fishing cruising in the
upper layers, Warren decided to
use a shallow rig with a long
length of line between pole tip
and float and swung the bait
directly in front of any fish that
passed through his swim.
Almost every time his banded
pellet hit the surface, it was taken
by a lump. At times, the fish
backed off and casting to clearly
visible with the waggler brought
about the same result.
After three hours the wind
picked up and his winning
approach had to be abandoned
as he was unable to see under the

winning catch that pushed his
Stoke compatriot Phil Moore into

traditional manner.
“Once I changed to fishing
shallow traditionally I caught
well for a while but in the final
hour I only had one fish.
Thankfully, by then the damage
was done and it didn’t matter too
much. It was a great day’s sport
