2020 - Wigston Angling Society Colmic sponsored series - Round 3 - February 23rd

Round 3 of the COLMIC sponsored series and the Manor restaurant was buzzing and breakfasts were flying out the kitchen  ( Brekkie was awesome) . This time we were fishing the canal as the river section was not safe so the Wigston acted responsibly for a switch . Even though the weather reports were of strong winds and showers there was 30 turned up for this match.


Chris ' Yellow Peril' Close and Mick ' Link ledger Legend ' Carr talking tactics .

Monies paid and the queue formed

Stevie Kirts expectancy in his face for a winning peg !

78 !!! ..........County Arms bridge opposite the boat i was informed , not a bad area .

The match was a grueller  as the recent concerns about the form of the canal were realised as this section in last two years had produced weights in the 4-10lb region . Today it was a case of getting a bonus and three in the section took Bream which gave a 1-2-3 in the match . I took a 4th with two large Perch and no bonus Perch .

1st  - Kev Johnson WIGSTON AC 3-6
2nd - Phil Tirrell WIGSTON AC - 2-13
3rd - Steve Pratt WIGSTON AC - 2-9
4th - Phil Ackerley MAS 2-3
5th - Cliff Hodgkiss 1-10

Kek with the spoils - well deserved .
