Not an easy match for Carp-R-Us in Murcia City

CARP-R-US took a break from their winter-spring series to fish the second round of the Murcia Cup on the River Segura.

A warmish Murcia City morning greeted those taking part who hoped, with the weather set fair, that they would have a good day’s fishing.

“Unfortunately, as is common at this time of year, the fish seemed to be in little pockets,” Carp-R-Us secretary Steve Fell said.  “If you weren’t fortunate to find one, the match was a struggle.”

Dave Hutchinson, pegged just downstream of the road bridge, was the winner with 9.5 kilos caught. Willie Moons with 7 kilos came second, just pipping Graham Patterson’s 6.9 kilos while Terry Screen with 6.6 kilos was fourth.
