Once again Peterstone Lakes, The home of the Birch Carp Syndicate, have showed they have what it takes to run top quality competitions. The first to start the adult Welsh Carp Championship which is one huge success story they decided it was only fair they did a junior competition for the up and coming anglers and the future of the sport. Martin Chronin (owner of the Birch Syndicate & Pro Baits UK) decided to hold a 2 day competition for the juniors to fish up on the Pencil lake as it is known by the locals.
The competition turn out was amazing and i have to add exciting from the word go. Talk about a close match. The young anglers all drew their pegs and set up camp for the 2 days and it wasn’t ;long before the lads were seeing plenty of fish action and fish on the bank. The pencil Lake (as well as the swan lake) contain a good stock of course fish including some large Carp, Bream and Barble but as this is the Carp Championship it was only one species we were interested and the lads targeted the carp beautifully. All the young competitors showed top quality angling and amazing fish care during the competition and it’s nice to see the future generations of the sport doing so well.
With only 6 hours left to go into the competition the results showed how close the comp was….
Sheldon Rees 29lb 6
Evan Hubbard 24lb 12
Liam Cronin 20lb 15
Jacob Rosser 20lb 8
Joseff Rosser 14lb 4
Jamie Davies 10lb
Matteo Palladino 6lb 7
Dan Monk 6lb 4
Jack Davies 5lb
Stefan Wolf 4lb
With only a couple not getting on the board you can see it was all to fish for as one fish could take it. Thankfully the weather had been kind to the boys and they all did very well in the competition but unfortunately there could only be one winner and what a title he would get the FIRST ever Junior Welsh Carp Champion and also sponsorship from Pro Baits UK
