Once again the Junior Section had to endure cold and very windy weather when they met at Springwood Fishery for match 2 of the 2008 series.  At least there was no rain, and this time, several fish were caught.

Top weight on the day (and winner of the 13-16 age group) was taken by 13 year old Jake Hemmings from peg 19, with 4 lb 3 oz..  Jake fished pole, alternated between pellet and maggot bait, and landed tench, skimmer bream and roach.

Runner up, 12 year old Curtis Hodges (winner of the under 13 age group), also fished pole, baiting with big maggot and pinkies, for a crucian carp, skimmer bream and roach catch weighing 2 lb 2 oz.  Adam Brailsford (age 8) took third place with 1 lb 6 oz, with Ashley Collinson (age 10) and Anthony Hanstock (age 13) sharing fourth place, each with exactly 1 lb.

Match 3 will be on the Erewash Canal (Tamworth Road, Long Eaton) on 24 May, meeting at 10am with fishing from 11am to 2pm. To book in, telephone Martin Oakes on 0115 8492737.
