Lake View Fishery: Daws family on top form at Lake View

Ken Daws topped a close-fought Wednesday qualifier by less than 3lb after landing 86lb 6oz from peg five on canal.

Over on river, Bob Greenbury finished close behind with 83lb 12oz as less than 10 pounds separated the top four.

And three days later, Keith Daws booked his place in September’s series final after finishing second at the Saturday qualifier.

Steven Pretty finished well clear of the pack with 79lb from marina peg 14, but having already qualified for the two-day final, his place went to Keith who took 54lb 13oz from peg 20.

Bronson Arme then edged out Keith to secure his third Sunday Open win in recent weeks.

Arme netted 94lb 5oz from canal peg seven to finish more than 8lb ahead of his nearest challenger.
