ADVENTURE AS fished their latest fixture at Billhook Lake where Gary Knight caught 35lb 10oz of carp on pole and maggot to top out, Scott (Meatloaf) Nelson utilised the maggot feeder for his 21lb 2oz of carp. Pole and bread put Mark Blackmon also on 21lb 2oz whilst match secretary Nick Sargent fished the bomb and bread for his even 20lb, after winning three matches in a row Simon (The God) Kiefer did not catch, which poses the question, is he a mere mortal after all? Sixteen fished fifteen caught.
