19 fished . Warm , overcast conditions led to another close match, Nathan bettered his 2 second places with a win on this, the 3rd match of our evening series. He has caught a great net of silver fish shallow on the pole on peg 19 and added a decent carp late on. Steve’s peg 12 has produced some better skimmers for second, Tom made a long overdue return and promptly took 3rd prize on peg 8 another net of good quality skimmers on meat.
