Innis Winter League HEAT 2
Sunday 26th November, we held Heat 2 of our Winter League. Eighteen anglers took part netting and returning a total of 56 fish between them giving a rod average of 3.1. This year several new names are appearing at the top of the leader board and long may it continue....great to see prizes being spread across the board.
Today started off dry but soon became wet and windy making conditions fairly tough. Fishing got off to a brisk start with fish being taken in various places over Carbis Lake. Mark Damarell had his first fish of the day just 2 minutes into the competition. The fishing continued throughout the day right up until the last hooter. As it was sounding, Stuart Parkin, from Newquay was netting his last fish. Winner of Heat 2 with a magnificent 8 fish for 12 points was local lad, Paul Nottle. Second with the loudest cheer of the day, catching 7 fish for 11 points, was Stuart Parkin. Third place winning the last of the cash prizes was Andy Lidstone from Exeter catching 6 fish for 10 points. Full list of results below.
