On Tuesday June 16 Bude Canal Angling Association held Pairs League - Round 2

Dan Schubert (Schubydoos) and Dougie Gianni (The French Connection) rued losing fish as the match ended in a dead heat with both teams bringing 10lb 12oz of fish to the scales. Their respective team-mates Paul Schubert and Ian Gray both had impressive bags of skimmers, roach and bream that ensured both teams finished well clear of the Tiscott Boys in third with 6lb 6ozs of rudd, roach and skimmers.

Previous week's winners the Lager Louts must have thought their luck was in when they drew the same pegs. However, this time they had to scratch around to catch a fish and Kevin Hill only saved a dry net with an 2 dram fish (the size of a small guppy!).

Editor note: There are 16 drams to the ounce.

1st = The Schubydoos and

The French Connection; 3rd,

The Tiscott Boys; 4th, Me and My Boy

Sunday June 21 — Summer League – Round 3

Pegs 30 to 34 are proving to be the early season canal hotspot with the top two places again coming from this section.

The current champion Nathan Underwood got his defence well and truly underway with an 11lb haul of small skimmers taken on pole fished worm from peg 33. Fishing close by on peg 30 Simon Allen used the popular wag and mag tactic to weigh in with 6lb 1oz. Tacker Giles continued his early season challenge for the title and ensured there was not an Upper Basin shut out by taking 5lb 12oz of roach from the Lower Basin to finish third.

Dan Underwood secured his second junior victory of the season with 1lb 15oz.

1st, Nathan Underwood 11lb; 2nd, Simon Allen 6lb 1oz; 3rd, Peter (Tacker) Giles 5lb 12oz.

Section Wins: Pete Cummins, Dave Allen,

Junior Winner: Dan Underwood.
