2023 - Nykoping bridge 22nd Saturday of April

Hottest day of the year greeted the Five intrepid competitors down on the Nykoping river as it enters the sea.

On arrival there was two ladies fishing and they were taking some Ide (for the grill) fishing shallow in deep water ........ i wonder if they know the water well and expect a lot of fish in that area , i wonder ?

The scenery for this event is stunning 

Looking out to sea

Pegs were drawn and for my trouble i received peg 5 furthest out from the bridge 

After the initial 10 minute pre-bait it was all in and for the first 50 minutes i was blanking yet the others were catching quite well !!? 

on the 50 minute mark i negotiated my first fish a roach . straight after i took a decent Ide. For the next two hours it was awkward fishing as the water in front kept circulating then pushing hard then stopping . There was never a settled flow to fish .

I persisted and caught several Ide and a few roach and Bjorkna

Came that time to weigh in and 5.9 kilos for me 

Mats faired a lot better with 7.6 kilos and he caught 65 fish 

Tom on peg 3 took 11180

The days winner was Jonas with just over 20 kilos !!!

Henrik took 14 kilos with some decent Ide

Score board says it all
