2011 Chairman’s Carp Cup
"This year’s match saw all 18 contestants turn up to fish the 24 hour carp match at Straits Mill. Fish could be soon cruising at both ends and along the centre of the lake. Luckily the rain stopped in time for the draw and allowed the entrants to set up before we had four hours of continuous rain, some of it torrential. This was followed by intermittent showers that stopped in the early evening.
The weather didn’t interfere with the fishing and a total of 18 carp were caught. The winner was 17 year old Sam Yates who landed 5 fish for a total weight of 80lb 7oz including one of 22lb 9oz and won the holiday donated by Etang des Landes. Second was Graham Johnson with 5 fish for 63lb 10oz and third was Dave Twitchett with four fish for 57lb 10oz."
Maybe next year.....
