Gale Force winds and torrential rain was the forecast, so rods over over poles won the day. Adam Harborow took 84lb of carp; the largest weighing in at 12lb to win the match. The majority of fish were taken on punched meat fished with micro pellets on a banjo feeder, with the rest on pellet waggler up in the water. Paste down the edge also took fish in other pegs, but very little was caught on the long pole.
