Report:
The Thursday Kobra Affordable Open was fished on Derwent on Phase 3 of Dynamite Baits Makins Fishery in torrential rain and a strong wind. In spite of the weather, carp were caught all round the lake.

Thursday ‘expert’, local angler Danny Ross (Wykin AC) clocked up his 6th Thursday win on the year with another excellent display. Fishing paste and pellet presented close to the island at 8m on peg 18, Danny’s net of carp weighing between 1½ and 4 lb, bream and a golden tench, all caught after a bite-less first 2 hours, totalled 48 lb 12 oz to give him a clear win.

The Thursday match on 27 May will be on Phase 2, Snake and Crater, with the match on 4 June to be fished on Thames and Inner Avon (Phase 3).

Report:
Lake 2 at Dynamite Baits Makins in the Kobra Wednesday Affordable Open saw yet another great display of feeder fishing from Korum ace and popular venue expert Andy Findlay.

Drawn on peg B13 at the downwind end of the lake, Andy fished method feeder to the island to land carp to 12 lb 8 oz for his winning total of 141 lb 4 oz for his sixth Wednesday win on the venue this year.

On the ‘A’ bank, Rob Henrick (long Eaton Victoria AS) on peg A4, and local Wykin AC angler Terry Phillips (A8) both caught steadily throughout the match.

Rob started catching on the pellet waggler but switched to straight lead and pellet bait at the halfway point to keep fish coming to end with 20 carp for 133 lb. In contrast, Terry started on the method feeder but also switched to straight lead, and his 26 fish catch weighed 131 lb 8 oz.
