A warm day for this latest qualifier with clear skies, little or no breeze and highs of around 17C.
Fish could be seen everywhere swimming shallow so overall, that was clearly the main plan of attack.

Andy fished the long pole shallow with pellet catching carp shallow and also mugging tactics.
Andy finished the day with a brilliant 298-0-0.
Second overall was in form Mark Griffiths (Guru) who drew peg 20 on Lake 1.
Mark caught all his fish casting a pellet waggler shallow tight across the far bank weighing in 219-15-0.
