Well done on first win

DUE to the poor state of the Mercadona stretch, Carp ­ R ­ Us moved their Spring Cup to the Eden 3 stretch of the Segura, where they discovered conditions were not a lot better. The river was lower than we’d seen it in a long time so, with shallow swims and not much flow along much of the length, it was expected that the pegs closest to the CV91 would be favourites.

And so it proved with Paul Burton running out clear winner from the end peg closest to where the reeds are. Paul weighed in 15 carp caught on method feeder and corn for 10.30kg. Second, from the top end of the stretch opposite the inlet was Willy Moons who had 4.06kg, again on method feeder with corn and pellets. Third was Jeremy Fardoe who winkled out a couple of mullet for 1.30kg and fourth was Tony Flett with 0.98kg.

Congratulations to Paul on winning his first trophy with the club.
