VETERAN angler Peter Kay found the carp to be super sport as he clinched a deserved victory in the Saturday match at North Thoresby.
Fishing on Clayton Ponds – which has recently been changed to a coarse venue – Kay weighed in with 22lbs to finish ahead of Rob James (19lbs) in second.
Johnny James ended the day in third as the anglers were treated to a well-stocked pond, featuring plenty of rudd and carp.
Yours truly fished at North Thoresby on Monday night, and I was amazed by the quality of fish coming out of the water.
With 24 pegs, the pond also has chub, roach and bream – owner Peter Clayton is hoping to organise some open events in the near future.
Meanwhile, Carr Lane AC were in action at Southfield Reserve near Doncaster. The going there was tough for most anglers, but feeder expert Matty Benwell caught well throughout the day and netted in excess of 25lbs.
Next in was Rob Thompson, who piled the bait on from the start – but fell well short of leader Benwell with a haul of 8.11lbs.
Andy Spall finished third (5.3lbs), while Chris Parker (4.8lbs) and Steve Croskill (3.14lbs) opted for the waggler, ending the day in fourth and fifth respectively.
