Lakeview Fishery: Bamford and Breakwell through to winter final

Shaun Butler finished well clear of the pack at Saturday's winter series qualifier EMN-181001-095402002

Beckhurst landed 65lb 6oz from canal peg 15 to claim victory at last Wednesday’s qualifier, while Butler took just two ounces less from peg 11 on the marina pool to take the Saturday spoils, both finishing well clear of the pack.

But having already earned their places at the Middy Adrenaline Baits Winter final in March, their spots went to Luke Bamford and David Breakwell.

Bamford finished runner-up on Wednesday with 37lb 8oz from peg 13, while fourth place was good enough for Breakwell to qualify in Saturday, catching 25lb 12oz from peg one.
