Round nine of the Carp-R-Us Winter/Spring series was fished on the Rio Segura near Guardamar.
The club puts a lot of time and effort in keeping the stretch fishable but sadly the banks and the river itself are in a very poor state due to the amount of rubbish that collects there.
The bank was still frost covered when we arrived, and the river was very low with little flow. A hard day’s fishing was expected.
The match was won by one of our new members, Paul Burton. Paul fished pole and feeder with either casters or maggots to finish with 4.54kg.
Second, after a long run of poor results, was Roy Dainty who finished with 3.73kg fishing pole and maggot.
Third was Terry Screen with 2.40kg, again caught using pole and maggot and fourth was Jeremy Fardoe with 2.59kg. The top three weights were all taken from the deeper downstream end of the stretch, the top end fished very poorly.
