June it was back to the hard work of preparing for the u18 carp championships , preparations went well throughout all the sessions and all methods were tried and tested, Sadly for myself and chud going fishing was starting to be a chore as we were getting battered by the juniors at nearly all the different carp venues we fished. The under 18 National was held at Lindholme Lakes Doncaster, this was our first time at the lakes and we was not disappointed with what we saw. 10 Lakes all stocked heavily with carp, tench, chub, barbel, bream , also plenty of f1s so as we practiced on the Friday things looked quite promising for the juniors and after a night s camping and full hearty breakfast in the morning the kids were eager to attend the draw. Unfortunately this venue being booked at the last minute due to the other venue letting us down all 100 anglers were placed on 2 lakes , 70 anglers on oasis lake and 30 anglers on Beeches lake. This was the first time 70 pegs were used on this venue and the catches were doomed as there were to many anglers on the lake . Top rods of the day were Rocky Murley , Harry Blackmur, and Tom Cockle. National u18 carp squad, Kirsty Reed, Reece Dillamore,Tom Cockle, Gary Harris, Harry Blackmur, Rocky Murley, Keiron Woolhouse.
