Jack Danby had a Bank Holiday weekend to remember at Lake View Fishery.

The Dynamite Baits-sponsored competitor won two days in a row - qualifying for the Map 25 Elite final and winning the following day’s £1,000 prize.

His first victory came on Easter Sunday where he booked his place in the Map Elite final with a haul of 156-13-00 from peg 10 on Marina.

Dave Harper (115-02-00) finished second with Steve Nattrass (109-03-00) third.

But Jack wasn’t done, claiming his second victory in as many days in Monday’s £1,000 Prize Match.

Fishing Marina again, this time from peg eight, he landed a haul of 116-14-00.

Runner-up Sam Allen (116-05-00) won £400 with third place Carl Sutton (113-03-00) banking £200.

Overall, a full week of matches have seen anglers return some great weights.
