Ogden on right lines at Twingate

ANGLING: 

IN-FORM Geoff Ogden of Tight Lines was well in front of the field in the Twingate AC evening match and plundered the venue’s ide, skimmers and roach population.

A five-metre pole, chopped worm and caster did the damage as he tipped the scales at 17lb.

Steve Baines (Tight Lines) took second with a level 8lb of roach and skimmers.



GRAHAM Mallinson took first place in the latest of the Todmorden Tuesday matches on an impressive Croft Fishery.

Fishing pole and meat, Mallinson netted plenty of decent carp to weigh-in 34lb 11oz, beating Adam Kitson into second with a 33lb 1oz catch of carp.

The Todmorden AS trophy match on Croft was impressively won by Chris Lett with his 47lb 13oz of carp taking worm fished on the pole. Pete Mottram was second with his pole and paste working well for 37lb 8oz of carp.



JAMES Cantello (Tri-Cast Highfield) continued his good run with another win in the Tuesday evening Bridgewater Canal series on the Moss Road length. Fishing squatt and pinkie over groundbait at 12 and 14 metres, Cantello kept small roach coming all night to finish with 5lb 6oz.

Second-best was Shaun Paddon (Tri-Cast Rochdale), who netted plenty of small roach before a late switch to hemp brought him better fish to weigh-in at 4lb 10oz.



MIKE Henshaw took first place in the latest of the Diggle AS matches on Tanners Dam, netting 30lb 5oz of carp with long pole and meat..

Second was Chris Quinlan with skimmers and carp adding up to 27lb 12oz.
