Lake View Fishery: Summer Series final line-up completed

The pair were the last to make it through to Saturday’s final after winning the last two qualifiers this week.

Middy angler Brookes landed 116lb 7oz from peg eight on the lagoon pool to top a 25-man field last Wednesday, finishing 16 pounds clear of runner-up Sean Huggins.

And on Saturday, Bailey (Diawa) won the final qualifier with 108lb 10oz, taken from the canal’s peg nine, pipping Ken Daws who landed 103lb 14oz from peg 17 on the river.

But Bailey was denied a weekend double when he was left to settle for second place at Lake View’s Sunday Open.

Having originally weighed in with 11lb 9oz, he was knocked back to 104lb 12oz, but neither weight could match winner Tom Pringle.

The Lake View select angler landed 116lb 2oz from peg 24 on lagoon.
