Friday 18 July saw thirteen DDAS members attend the annual Carp Competition at Orchard Lakes New Milton. Held on Jimmy’s Lake with a format to search for the larger residents, the eventual winner had a great start with his third fish being the biggest of the weekend at 29.12lb. A short break Saturday  morning allowed all to enjoy the on-site Café and recharged look to improve on their weights. It wouldn’t be the annual fixture without a storm front passing through and so Saturday night brought torrential rain and wind with all bivvy bound. This didn’t dampen spirits and come Sunday fish upgrades ensured the final Leaderboard remained unknown until the whistle at 1630. The results being:

1^st Andy Tattersall - three fish total 72lb

2^nd Dexter Atkinson

3^rd Julie Samways
