Kevin Arathoon
(GOT Baits)
Peg 37 - 190lb

  "Chopping and Changing the Key for Kevin"

Fishing between at 12 and 16m was the key for Kevin Arathoon (GOT Baits) today at Rolfslake. Kevin drew yesterdays winning peg and proceeded to take the best weight of the year so far with a net busing 190lb. However, with the fish enjoying the bank holiday weekend weather, it was obvious that the sunshine had sparked the fish into a pre-spawning basking session - much to the annoyance of the expectant match anglers.

Kevin fished a GOT Baits 6mm soft hooker or a GOT Baits 6mm expander over the top of 4mm singing GOT Baits Pellet (Much to the delight of his new sponsor GOT Baits!) Kevin had little trouble getting bites but found that chopping and changing lines kept the fish coming quicker. Elsewhere Mick Lane (Swindon) took the only other TON UP weight from next door to Kevin on Peg 38 with 110lb 8oz. With fish getting ready to spawn it was hard going on ALL the other pegs and 31lb was good enough for Colin Storey from Peg 14 to take 3rd spot.
