ALL three lakes at Shiplate Farm, Bleadon, were used for the float only match run by Tony Rixon.

Having had extremely hot weather for several days, the fish were feeding and fairly settled. Carp were topping all over the lakes in the morning and enjoying the oxygen around the aerators.

The match lakes outfished the Main Lake with the winning bag coming from Tom Mangnall on the Westpool, fishing banded pellet at 6m.

Results: Tom Mangnall (peg 7) Westpool, 140lb 8oz; Paul Elmes (peg 7) Hawthorns, 108lb 4oz; Adrian Jeffery (peg 9) Hawthorns, 103lb 4oz; Craig Edmunds (peg 11) Main Lake, 94lb 4oz; Dean Malin (peg 4) Main Lake, 77lb 14oz; Bela Bakos (peg 15) Main Lake, 69lb 5oz.
