The results from the second qualifying round of the south-west king of clubs.
This was pencilled in to be a River Tone match on the Fast stretch but unfortunately the rain Friday and Saturday put pay to that.
It’s also gave us the problem of colour creeping into the Canal system.
This colour would affect the top town sections on the canal but with 30 booked in this would be the only section we could use.
As all the other Parking, we have is too wet or too small to accommodate.
 The Fishing was always going to be rockhard with the really cold easterly wind. (Upstream) This coupled with the heavy colour nobody was to optimistic about getting started.
It was more than likely going to be a small fish Match with Bleak and small Roach tight to the far bank where the colour had dropped a little.
But Steve Hall blew that idea to bits in the first 20 minutes with a 2lb 9oz Tench.
Then Jason Fearn found a 4lb Bream in the first hour.
After that it was going to be a big fish match in B section as there was no chance of pulling that back with 50 to the pound Fish.
(A) Section was proving a little harder with it being the predicted small fish Match, but even these weren’t feeding readily.
(B) Section was turning out to be the section to be in still very slow going but some cracking Perch to 3lbs 1oz and 2lbs 14oz
So to the results, obviously the most important thing was to find the two qualifies from the Match.
In Zone (A)
Paul Purchase qualified.
He has managed to make the most of his sheltered upstream end peg by finding some small Roach and a bonus Rudd of a pound for 1lbs 10oz
In Zone (B)
Dan Baldwin qualified .
Also on an upstream end peg he’s had to change his early game plan of catch Roach and Bleak on the whip.
This after the early bonus fish showing.
Dan has topped up the worm line regularly and
Picked up 3 cracking Perch for 7lbs 6oz
The top three in the match.
Dan Baldwin 7lbs 6oz
Jason Fearn 4lbs 4oz
Andy Forward 3lbs 5oz
The Mini section winners
Paul Purchase 1lbs 10oz
Mark Broomsgrove 1oz
Russel Hilton 1lbs 5oz
Steve Hall / Les Braunton 2lbs 9oz
Tony Goodland (Drawn)
Adam Beachgood 2lbs 14oz
