Two outing matches for Diss Angling Club saw two different styles in fishing but good weights - and the 100lb barrier was broken by Jimmy Ellis.

Hinderclay's New Lake was the venue for the second outing.

Bagging big fish, Ellis easily took command of the day's action and stormed to a massive 104lb 3oz and took top prize.

Second once again went to Andrew Mears who was over 40lb behind. He caught on the method and pole and took 63lb to the scales. Third went to Karl Hales with 53lb 7oz.

The first match was at Besthorpe farm shop fishery and fishing the surface was the key to getting a winning bag of fish. Bill Davies drew a flyer in an outing match and couldn't wait to attack the peg.

Once the rain came the carp headed back down to the deck and Davies followed suit and returned to fish over the hemp line and took three more carp before time was called.

Davies weighed in 50¾lb to take top place.

Andrew Mears worked hard for most of the match but had been outclassed on what is normally a good water for him and despite landing 19 fish only managed 43lb 1oz. Third was Ben Wilby with 30lb 3oz.

The midweek match was at the Mere in Diss and small crucians graced the net of Jason Rigby.

He used up some two-day-old groundbait but the fish enjoyed his offering and Jason ended with 19lb 6oz.

Simon Thompson was second as he weighed in 10lb 15oz. Barry Day once again kept up his charge to win the Senior Cup ending the day with 9¼lb.
