Moorlands Farm has just compiled a list of ton-up weights from 2004, and it shows a big improvement from 2003.

No less than 368 match anglers weighed in over 100lb last year at the Hartlebury, Worcs venue, and another eight weighed in over 200lb.

That compares to 230 ton-up weights in 2003 and two double tons, so the obvious conclusion is that the venue is getting better. 

The six months from April to September were the best and August was the best month of all.

* The match results for the complex are posted on the venue’s fishery listing on www.total-fishing.com every week.
