David Brooke won the December competition with a specimen conger of 26lb 10oz.

Runner up Kevin Legge with his bass of 10lb 12oz and third Mark Jones with a conger of 23lb 2oz.

General round up.

The bitter cold North East Wind has undoubtedly impacted upon both the fishes willingness to feed and the anglers enthusiasm to chase them. Despite this a few fish have been caught including a few codling to 6lb.

*Jamie Steward with a pleasing codling.*

Kevin Shears led the team to a decisive victory with his pole caught net of carp on peg 2 ,on lake 1 , Matt was 2nd on lake 4 he would probably have topped 100lb but unfortunately lost his 3rd net through a ripped hole. John was the only Plymouth angler to make the top.8, his third place was on lake 4 nextdoor to Matt, A day of great weather added to a good match, and we hope that next year we can return to the 2-leg event. Many thanks to Stuart Sharp for allowing the use Wooda Lakes for the Match ,
