Pleasant Day And New Venue Gives Good Winning Weight

The final match of the season, The Golden Peg, took place at Jingles Fishery, Finchampstead, on Sunday 14th March 2010. Every year, a new venue is found for this match so to give every angler a fair chance of winning the prize money that this year topped just over £400.00. Jingles is only a small lake and fished 11 quite comfortably although there would have been space for a few more if necessary. Over the five hours, the rain stayed away, but the cloud began to move in towards the end of the match bringing with it some wind that made fishing difficult at times. Overall, every angler caught and had it been mid summer at this venue, the catch weights would have been a lot higher. The results are as below.
