A zero to hero weekend! I had the grand total of two pulls at Barston on the Feeder Masters on Saturday. The wind looked decent for my peg 50, but with every peg in a row around me I felt it\u2019d be a struggle and just 34lb won my 10-peg section\u2026 Well done Oliver Scotthorne winning from peg 103 and Sam Collett and Leigh Bembrick for also qualifying.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bounced back today on Round 2 of the Matrix Commercial Champs at Makins Fishery with a match-winning 239lb. I drew peg 18 on Severn and having not fished this lake since it\u2019s been redone I now appreciate why it\u2019s such a flyer!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had a great start mugging carp up to 8lb before they backed off. Briefly swapped to the feeder with maggots and Sonubaits Match Method Mix and had a few on that before the cruisers thankfully returned. Had a few more shallow, then the last hour has been brilliant down the edge on meat. Well done Danny Grimsey and Ben Townsend completing the top three.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was the first match I\u2019ve used the new Matrix Digital Clicker Pro and I actually clicked somewhere close to my total for a change, so I\u2019m really impressed with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovely day\u2019s fishing and definitely earned a chunk or two of my Father\u2019s Day Toblerone… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
