A turn out of just 14 anglers for this last qualifier fished on the burr bank of the Specimen Lake.

Qualifier number 3 was attended by just 10 anglers and fished down the burr bank of the specimen lake. Conditions were far from ideal with highs of 34C, bright sunshine with no breeze. Needless to say, all resident carp and most of the big bream shoals were swimming shallow. So the competitors fishing feeder and lead tactics found it difficult to pin the fish to the deck. Winner today was Mark Hawthorne (Bait Tec / H.T. Angling) who drew peg 18. Mark fished bomb and pellet, feeding heavily to take the carp down and was rewarded with carp to 15lbs ...
