Bait Tech Festival 2010 - Day 3

Bait Tech Festival

Day Three

Well we have reached the half way point of the festival already and we have seen a few changes at the top today. Over night it rained for the first time in over a month and although we woke up to a dull day, the wind had died slightly and it was a much milder day. Day three always provides a bit of extra excitement as the 5 lake winners today all win a free holiday and an invitation back to fish our winners week mini festival.

A Section Twin Oaks/Trelawney

The overall weights were spread across both lakes today and all seemed to fish a bit better, especially the high numbers of Twin Oaks which seem to have benefited from the additional stocking of F1’s that have been introduced to the lake. The lake winner today on Trelawney peg 2 was Steve Barraclough, Steve weighed in with 134lb 12oz caught on the long pole with meat. Second with 94lb 5oz from Twin Oaks peg 23 was Steve Mayo, Steve caught a few fish on the feeder with groundbait & maggot and has the rest of his fish at 14.5 meters on the bottom with meat. Tony Wynnick was third; Tony was on Twin Oaks peg 2 and caught on the straight lead with meat for a weight of 78lb 9oz. The next best weight came from Lee Pesticcio on Twin Oaks peg 35, Lee had a weight of 66lb 6oz caught on the groundbait feeder with maggot and a few down the edge on corn.

Phil Ringer is our only angler on perfect points but not all is lost for the anglers as the “dropper” still has to come into play. Those that lost a few section points yesterday will be looking to claw their way back up the table and for those that increased their points they will be hoping for good draws for the last two days. As with all of the festivals it could come close to the wire, can Phil or Steve make it another Ringer festival win or even a Ringer first & second or will one of the other anglers knock them out of the top spots. Join us tomorrow for the penultimate day of the festival.
