Kirkby’s Colin Taylor boosted himself into the Mescar Fisheries all winners grand final later this year with a cracking win on Mistral Lake on Sunday.
Taylor, a long time member of the Mersey Dockers Club and a stalwart of the Mescar scene, took this one in fine form with a winning weight of 75.14.0. Opting for a long pole approach at 14m, Taylor neatly put together a catch of carp to 8lb using corn and pellet from peg 40.
Mescar rod Jimmy Martin, on peg 26, chose a bread tactic and that decision helped him to take second place with a weight of 40.4.0 of mainly carp. Peter Foster, with carp for 36.8.0 using pellet, took third place.
