Dynamite Bait Festival - Day 4

Dynamite Bait Festival

Day 4

Well we have gone from a wet day to an even wetter one! There has been no let up on the rain and it has also got a bit colder today. It could be make or break for some today, those that go into the final day on high points can afford a lapse but there are a few who need to make up some points if they stand a chance of getting into the top ten. Read on for the action from the penultimate day of the festival.

A Section Porth

A mixed day on Porth but not the worst results we have seen over the festival, the endless rain and wind is having an effect on the anglers and only the brave are fishing the long pole which is having such good results whilst others are sticking to the faithful waggler and hoping for the best. Mal Runacres was the lake winner today on peg 87; Mal caught on the waggler with caters and weighed in with 11lb 4oz. Second with 11lb was Clive Poole, Clive was on peg 40 and caught skimmers on the pole at 13 meters and roach on the waggler with caster. Russ Grimes weighed in with 10lb 4oz to take third, Russ caught on the long pole with worm & caster from peg 75. The next best weight on the lake came from Andy Geldart on peg 35, Andy caught on the waggler with maggot for a weight of 10lb.

Mal Runacres              9 points           peg 87             11lb 4oz

Steve Conway             9 points           peg 22             9lb 1oz

B Section Bolingey

A tougher day on Bolingey with the amount of cold water going into the lake from the rain really making a difference as the fish have seemed to back off. The lake winner today with 196lb 8oz was Dean Smith; Dean was on peg 45 and caught on the long pole with pellet and meat. John Cockayne on peg 23 was second, John had a weight of 121lb 12oz caught on the 11 meter pole with pellet. Ainsley Woodward our youngest festival competitor was third with 106lb 6oz; Ainsley was on peg 29 and caught in the margins with meat. The next best weight came from John Chapman on peg 16; John caught shallow on pellet for a weight of 102lb

C Section Pollawyn

Again it was a bit of a tougher day on Pollawyn with the cold water going into the lake making the fish ball up, the bonus carp were not spread out as much across the lake as they had been in previous days which made fishing for the silvers even more important. Tim Russell was the lake winner today with 85lb; Tim was on peg 26 and caught on the groundbait method with meat on the hook. Second on peg 20 was Steve Sanders, Steve caught on the waggler with meat for a weight of 84lb 14oz.

D Section Twin Oaks/Trelawney

Good weights came from all of the sections today with the high numbers of Trelawney fishing better than they had all week. Ashley Clements was the lake winner today with 136lb 4oz from Twin Oaks peg 14, Ashley caught on the method feeder with moulded pellets and meat on the hook.

E Section Trewaters

It was a fairly hard day over on Trewaters but all the sections were very tight for points with the anglers all having consistent weights across the sections. Timmy Rowe on peg 26 was the lake winner today with 50lb 1oz; Timmy fished brilliantly, took £1 off Pete Bowles & taunted Jamie Parkhouse all match! He caught on the method feeder and down the edge.
