42 anglers turned up to fish the fourth round of the Drennan Coors Trent Masters.
All species of fish seem to be enjoying the hot weather on the river Trent at Burton, a lot more roach turned up this week to make it the best match of the series so far.
Regular visitor Pete Morris wouldn’t have fancied his draw on Bailey’s peg 5, starting short just over the weed he plundered a chunky perch before switching to long pole with casters and hemp to keep busy with roach for 16lb 5oz and a comfortable win.
9oz then separated the next five anglers making it a real tight frame. Runner up Robbie Quinn on peg 13 on Androssey fished long pole with casters over groundbait for 12lb 9oz of mainly roach.
There was a tie for third between Wayne Swinscoe and Tony Marshall both with 12lb 4oz, Wayne fished Waggler and bronze maggots for roach while Tony fished hemp long and worms short for a mixed bag including a 3lb 9oz eel.
