BURGHFIELD BLUE POOL
First to score was Sapcote, Leicester 13-year-old Bruce Robinson who bagged a 16lb 9oz fish early on. Bruce went on to bag a further five fish to 16lb 14oz during the weekend and lost a fair few too. Young Bruce was helped by RMC Angling’s very own Assistant Manager, Viv Shears, who had more than a few tricks up his sleeve to ensure the carp kept feeding in front of the pair throughout the weekend. | |
Of course it was not only Viv who had a few tricks and the youngsters who shared the bottom end of the lake with the Horton bailiff quartet of Starman, Chef, Gardner Graeme and Toothless Tom picked up a few sneaky tips too. With the carp showing in the clear margins and around the snags the trio baited up several close-in spots and got the youngsters stalking and straight on the fish as they moved over the beds of bait. Seven-year-old Jordan Clement was one who took advantage of the stalking opportunities and landed a trio of fish to 13lb 4oz. | |
Top Fish Having hooked the fish on a plastic pellet and a PVA bag Nick got the fish, 13lb better than his PB, to the edge before it snagged him around a marginal branch. Thankfully Chef was on hand to climb in and free the fish so that it could be safely landed. Top angling! | |
Enter the Chillmeister The big man tried everything to get the carp feeding for 14-year-old Lewis Faragher and it came good as the youngster netted a cracking PB in the shape of an 18lb 4oz common. Lewis also bagged a mirror of 10lb 8oz and the Chillmeister celebrated his junior fish-in baptism by falling into the lake whilst trying to help… Roll on Chilly’s next appearance at the Sandhurst event in July; we may even sell tickets. On the other side of Chilly 16-year-old Ryan Eley had the distinct advantage of being teamed up with Burghfield Head Bailiff, Phil Champion. As expected Phil knew his stuff and Ryan bagged four to 13lb 4oz. Ryan also topped the quiz held during the course of the weekend and went home laden with prizes. | |
Number One 13-year-old Adam Neale had Neil Wayte to guide him in the swim and the pair extracted four carp to 11lb 12oz from the area. It could have been a lot more but some dodgy line and circumstanes dictated otherwise. It was, nonetheless, a fine performance in a tricky area for the pairing. | |
Another New Boy Another Mail ace, Colin Davidson, struggled to get the fish going in front of him and 13-year-old Joff Musson but finally the pair watched as a 13lb 4oz mirror picked up their margin-fished maggot hookbait. In the adjacent swim top all-rounder Ade Smith also struggled to get the carp feeding for 14-year-old Kieron Jacks so the pair hopped over to the adjacent Match Lake where Kieron bagged 12 carp on float and floater to 7lb.
