Shane Lovell made a perfect start to the winter league down in the south west.
Sponsored by Blacksilver Baits, Shane won the first match of the winter league season fishing 1mm micro pellets on the method with an 8mm pellet hook bait, to land 7 carp for 26lb 4oz, beating second place by 4lb.
Shane had tried our Match Team Green Groundbait on the 11m line but had little success, also trying dead maggot down the margins. But when he switched to the far swim, about a foot from the far bank on the method with our micro pellet, he hit into the fish. "the fishing was hard" Shane reported "a few of the guys blanked. Hopefully next week will be a little easier".
Maximum points scored and a job well done!
