2020 Evening Series – Match 1

9 anglers fished Nutford Farm (field 1), a bright but cloudy evening ahead without any forecast of rain. The water was clear in the top 12 inches or so, with plenty of Chublets, Dace and Perch to be seen in each swim.

With swims cut and some work to be done, select pegs were chosen for the draw, with feedback welcomed from each angler, post-match, on any adjustments needed.

Waggler was the choice for all, maggot and worm being the baits used. Some choosing to use a ground bait, the key to success was regular feeding to attract fish to the peg and avoid the minnows!

Terry pulled out a single Perch – and what a fish it was, a health looking example just over the 1lb mark. Chris had the largest Chub of the evening which wasn’t individually weighed but looked like it would be getting towards 1lb.

Well done to Alex for a great weight on the evening, and to Chris and Stewart demonstrating that no matter where you are in the pegging you can put a catch together.

Weights at the end of the night as follows

Peg	Angler	Weight
1	Alex Compiani	2lb 7oz
2	Chris Barnard	2lb 1oz
3	Stewart Randell	2lb
4	Brian Hunt	1lb 10oz
5	Ben	1lb 8oz
6	Terry Greenslade	1lb 2oz
7	Craig Whelan	10oz
8	Dave Litchfield	9oz
9	Ray	DNW

For this season, points are awarded from 1^st to 15^th placing. Thus 1^st 15 points, 2^nd 14 points and so on. DNW or placing 16^th or lower awards zero points.
