2013 FEEDER CUP MAY 11TH




The Feeder Cup at Nykoping has recruited a lot of interest since its conception by Benni a few years ago and this year is no exception as 20 anglers have joined the days competition . The increase is due to the new room available since the local defunct golf range decided to give up business and allow some proper sport ! But the real reason is the expectancy that everyone has for good early season sport with the migrating Bream and the Local tough Tench not forgetting the many large Rudd.




If i had a choice to live somewhere in Sweden then this would be on my top - 3 . Homes right next to a great water course which contains excellent fishing.










Preperation was so important to get the boxes and bait tables settled in the muddy water and reeds


Hasse was to my right and was last years winner so i had my work cut out to beat him.





Match started and it was 5 casts of feed then bait up and start.




I stood inbetween the bait table and box and decorated the table with all the essentials when feeder fishing like plenty of spare feeders , hook lengths and of course groundbait and worms !!


I had 1 x 11' Carbonactive and 2 x Dutch feeder 12'4'' from the Preston Company



Slow start with Fredrik and Vince to my left and the initial 15 minutes only realised small Rudd and skimmer.




Then the master plucked a nice 1.5 kilo fish



Then he took a second one straight the way !


I then took a big-boy of about 2.2 kilos

Well the match really never got going and you could sy that due to the late spring start everything was 2 weeks behind . The people who did well did the simple things without overfeeding it . At the end a weight of 25 kilos was the top weight , its normally double that .



Weighing time



Most of the lads took a few nice fish but the nets were dominated mostly by smaller fish
Stef with a nice specimen

Percy with a quality Rudd

The days winner was Rickard












Hasse to my right took 17 kilos






Just 14 kilos for me







Vince had half his fish in the last hour to get 18 kilos.


Great match and organisation and i will be back next year and hopefully this time Spring is on time !!
