DAIWA MATCHWINNER FESTIVAL 2004
THE week started with a bang and temperatures up to 27° you would think that the fish would not want to know but that wasn’t the case. All the lakes fished well but Twin Oaks toped them all taking all the top six places.
First on the day was Justin Iveson (Beverly Angling) weighing 106lb 12oz from peg 36 on Twin Oaks fishing the corn down the margin. Justin has gone straight into the lead with nine points and his big weight is like having an extra point.
Second on the day was Paul Hardman (Angling Centre Northampton) weighing 73lb from peg 1 catching all his fish up in the water on the pellet and pole.
Third was Jamie Jones (Kingsway Angling) weighing 63lb 07oz from peg 4, James caught all his fish up in the water on the corn.
