PICK AND CHOOSE COMPETITION 
The clubs new Pick and Choose competition is now underway and we received the first results from Sean Leatherland and Peter Mills. (Pair 7) 

They fished their round during one of the usual Wednesday matches which was held on Section 14B (Seabrook Lock to Power Lines).

The water was low and clear on the day with minimal boat traffic. Fishing proved to be very difficult, but a quirk of the draw bag saw Sean and Peter actually pegged next to each other in the middle of the overall match. 

Peter caught one large bream (bread punch) early in the match and together with a few smaller fish outweighed Sean who caught one smaller bream (red maggot) and a few bits to finish slightly behind at the final whistle.

Sean Leatherland  
3lb 3oz  

Peter Mills 
4lb 7oz

Pair 3 - Daniel Carr and Danny Worth also fished their Round 1 match this week on the 3 Locks Upper section.

They fished for 5 hours. Danny Worth took the win and is through to the next round.

This weekend, Pair 2 - Jack O'Brien and Terry Vickers fished Round 1 of the Pick and Choose match and Terry took the approach of a waggler rod and a feeder rod while Jack went for a pole along with a feeder rod.
It was a very enjoyable day and both had a great time catching quality canal fish. Jack took the win with 4lb 11oz and is through to Round 2. Terry had 1lb 12oz
