50 anglers turned up to fish the second round of the Drennan Coors Trent Masters.

Conditions weren’t the best for the second round qualifier, with bright sunshine and a gin clear water, this led to a tight match, with no quality fish feeding.

Nick West made the most of a nice draw on sherrats farm peg 22 firstly on the pole with maggots over groundbait, catching loads of small fish, before a late run of chunky roach on hemp brought him to the fore with 10lb 2oz.

Runner-up was Sam Merry who was four pegs below the winner and fished a similar match, although Sam had a run of perch on chopped worm at the start for a total weight of 9lb 4oz.

1st: N West matchman supplies – 10lb 2oz
2nd: S Merry Shakespeare – 9lb 4oz
3rd: J Walkden Sensas – 8lb 2oz
