Every angler fishing received a prize thanks to Harleston and Wortwell A.C. and P.M.Peggs tackle who donated a total prize fund of over £150.

Winner

Winner Kyle Savage Kyle drew island peg seven and fished his favorite method, waggler fished floating dog biscuit. He started well catching one good carp, and losing another in the first half hour, after the initial rush he then had to endure a two hour blank spell, watching others around him slowly chip away at his early lead. Kyle stuck to his method and his patience paid off when he took two more carp in the last thirty minutes to finish with 9lb 5oz and a convincing win.

Second John Calandine

Ten year old Jack Weatherly (above) weighed in the biggest small fish bag to take fourth place with 3lb 10oz.
