Bait Tech Festival 2010 - Day 2

Bait Tech Festival

Day Two

No overnight frost but it is still cold with a bitter wind which will not do the anglers any favours, yesterday got off to a respectable start with everyone catching some fish so fingers crossed for day two.

A Section Jennys/Python

Despite a freezing wind up on Jennys the anglers but in a sterling effort as there were consistent weights across the section, Python fished reasonable in the wides but it was a struggle on the narrows. Lee Edwards was the match winner today on Jennys peg 3, Lee caught roach at 5 & 11 meters with caster & maggots and had a couple of bonus carp at 14 meters on corn all for a weight of 39lb 5oz. Shaun Jackson was on Jennys peg 21 and was second with 39lb 2oz. Third with 38lb 12oz was Mick Lees, Mick was on Jennys 18 and caught on the groundbait feeder with maggot & meat.

By tomorrow we will have reached the mid-way festival report, can anyone keep up their perfect points; join us tomorrow for the latest update.

Cheers, Kirsty
