Tony Portingale clinched victory with a 32-carp catch totalling 140-15-0 in the Ridgeway & District AS match, fished on Campbell Match Lake at the Viaduct Fisheries, Somerton.

He fished both 8mm hair-rigged pellet and luncheon meat by means of a straight lead at 35 metres centre off corner peg 132. He catapulted a 6mm hard pellet feed over the top and started catching quality carp from his second cast onwards.

He said: "I had plenty of fish in front of me but they kept moving up and down the lake. With careful feeding I managed to keep them around for the biggest part of the match but right up until the weigh-in I was convinced that Matt Challenger had beaten me."

Challenger came second with a 132-6-0 mixed bag from peg 129 at the Campbell Lake spit.

The new owner of Scotts Tackle at Staple Hill, poled paste over a 6mm pellet feed at 16 metres towards the aerator and caught steady all day. He hooked his 30th carp with his last cast and played out a fighting fit six-pounder in extra time.

Third place was taken by Sensas Viaduct's top junior, Lewis Greenwood, who missed catching a personal best six-hour match weight for Campbell Lake by 8-0-0.

The talented 11-year-old fished paste with both a straight lead and waggler at peg 127 and weighed-in 131-7-0 of carp to 9-0-0.

Don Searle won the Silverfish pools money with a superb 44-4-0 of bream and tench.

He fished sweetcorn over a hemp and chopped worm groundbait, which he cupped-in to the right hand lakeside margins of peg 124, and caught his first fish on his second put-in at eight metres.

He said: "Bream, roach and tench moved in and out of the swim for the duration and I was happy to catch whatever came along.

"The only carp I caught came 10 minutes from time. The 9-4-0 common fought like a demon on light line and completely ruined the swim. However, by the time it was netted the match was over so it didn't matter."

Dave Amos came a close second in the silverfish stakes with 39-3-0 mixed bag of skimmers and tench taken from beneath overhanging branches in the left lakeside margins of 114 with luncheon meat.
