26th July 2009

Kevin Rudgley and Richard Emmerson from Houghton Regis Beds were on the Grand Union Canal again at Grove Church with Kevin catching fish of 13lb 10oz, 16lb 10oz and 18lb 5oz and Richard six fish between 8lb and 14lb 8oz.
 
Bailiffs Gary Westcott from Eaton Socon and Shane Welch from Marston Moretaine had a fantastic two nighter on North House Lake on the Wyboston Complex catching commons of 16lb, 17lb, 18lb 4oz, 20lb, 20lb 8oz, 20lb 10oz, 23lb 8oz, 24lb 2oz, 25lb 4oz and 32lb 10oz. All the fish were caught using Innovate Baits Squid 2t boilies which seem to be taking the lake apart at the moment. On the same venue Keiron Dawson and James Boston also did well on Squid 2t with Keiron catching a personal best 19lb 8oz common and James a 16lb common and 15lb mirror. Andrew Currington from Houghton Regis Beds got his North House campaign off the mark with a 16lb common caught from a clear spot at 20 yards. Jack Heather had two commons of 16lb on scopex squid and David Starling caught a 22lb 4oz common and a 15lb 6oz mirror on plastic corn.
