Fish ‘O’ Mania was fished
at White Acres for the first time on Saturday 14th June 2003 and the results
were better than we had expected. The day was one of the hottest yet this
year with hardly any wind normally White Acres fishes hard when it’s
still and calm.

The day started off well and Jennys, Nelsons & Trelawney
producing plenty of fish from the off. Steve Cooke was the first to show an
impact catching brown goldfish shallow on the pellet. News was coming back
from Nelsons that two anglers Steve Seager & Les Williams both had 30lb
in the first hour, but on the way to take some pictures I noticed that Mark
Illingworth peg 28 Trelawney was getting a fish a chuck shallow on the pellet.
It was clear that after two hours Mark was going to be hard to beat, it seamed
that the anglers either side of him had lost the will and slowed their feed
ending up giving it to Mark on a plate. Mark told me that he had fed his entire
pellet quota and was having to feed meat and corn to keep the fish coming,
what a shame. All the anglers in the top six fished really well with some
great performances, Steve Cooke weighed 95lb 03oz of all small fish, and he
hardly had a fish over a pound. Paul Blinkhorn fished peg 4 Lamorna and weighed
75lb 03oz of all small Carp, we reckon he must have had over 100 Carp.
Sky Sports were here filming the match and it will be showed this Friday
night the 20th June.
