Summer League R6 2014

Summer League Round 6, Falcon Cup, Sunday 27th July:

Long standing Associate Member and visitor to Bude, Jim Escott chose not to fish against the reeds from the Bird Hide section as is the popular tactic.  Instead he fished a short pole and amassed over 23lbs of skimmers on the red worm to win the Falcon Cup.  Simon Allen landed a couple of carp (best 12lbs) to see him home in second spot and leapfrog Nathan Underwood to the top of the league.  Duncan Edwards also made good use of a Bird Hide draw to secure third spot with an 18lbs+ bag.

Dick Turner took the Lower Basin section with a 17lb bag of skimmers that only included the one slab.  Nick 'Super Emmet' West, another frequent visitor to Bude, took the Second Basin section with a 9lbs+ bag of silvers.  Pete Horton rounded off a good day for the Bird Hide with a section win of 11lbs+.

In all over 209lbs of fish were landed with an average weight of 8lbs 10zs, which I think is a new canal record!  Next up, everyone's favourite Trophy, see you there.
