2017 2 day sept festival 
We had a 2 day festival over the weekend fished on the Pleasure and Match Lakes.  

2 Day Festival Overall results

1st           Paul Gardiner (Barford Tackle)   2 points   250lb 12ozs

2nd         Lee Carver (Barford Tackle)             4 points   236lb 10ozs

3rd        Zak Worby  (Cresta/Gamakatsu/Barford Tackle) 4 points  223lb 15ozs

Paul had perfect section point score and won the lake both days.  He fished the Pleasure Lake peg 13 on day on and fished an 8mm pellet over soacked Barford 2mm pellet at 6 metres and had 14 carp to 15lb and caught steady throughout the match to win the lake with 144lb.  The match lake had some better weights with Davie Jarvis catching 157lb caught on maggot down the edge and Marti Jermyn 2nd place with 151lb.  Third place and 3 section points went to Lee Carver with his 143lb. 

Day 2 saw Paul Garidner catch on the same method but at 5 metres from peg 13.  The peg was late to come on and Paul had most of of his fish in the last 2 hours and had carp to 12lb.  Lee Carver fished worm at 6metres form peg 18 on the Pleasure lake to win the lake with 93lb, unfortunatly with only 3 points the day before wasn’t enough to catch Paul’s perfesct 2 ponit score. 

3rd place overall was Barford Tackle employee Zak Worby who also had 4 points but was just 3lb short of 2nd overall.

Sam Mixer (age 14) and his brother have been coming down to Barford throughout the summer hols and on the last weekend before school starts again Sam manages to get a 20! 20lb 10oz. 

His first cast on the Pleasure Lake this morning and only 5 minutes of fishing before he beat his P.B mirror by over 6lb.

Sam turned up at the lake to see fish fizzing about 10 yards out in peg… . He decide to use a bright strawberry boilie, hair rigged to a size 12 hook on 10lb line and flick it bang on where the carp were feeding. 5 minutes later…
