FURNACE MILL FISHERY Paul Cook from Stourport smashed his own record during the Sunday Open at Furnace Mill.

He landed a massive 255lb 12oz from peg 72 on Willow Pool.

He last broke the record back in September 2005 when he landed 214-13 from peg 54 on Mucky Meadow Pool.

Willow and Mill Pools were used for the Sunday Open and with it being a hot and muggy day everyone was expecting good weights.

Cook, who fishes for Mark’s Tackle, fed pellet and fished maggot in the margins to take the first spot for the second week on the trot.

He was followed by Kev Williams (Wolverhampton) who landed 118-6 from peg 66 fishing meat.

Third place went to Furnace Mill’s Colin Matthews with 98-14 from peg 55 and in fourth and fifth were Phil Hunt (Metchley) 85-7 and John Knight (Willow Creek) 81-5.

The best weight on Mill Pool came for seventh-placed Simon Richardson who landed 76-4 from peg 88. A total of 18 anglers took part.

The Friday evening matches are proving to be even more popular with 15 fishing last week.

In first place was Chris Senter (Furnace Mill) with 67-4 from peg 28. In second place was Andy Gwillam with 65-14 from peg 2 and in third was Kev Johnson with 53-4.

On Friday the draw is at 4pm and fishing will be from 5pm until dark.

The best tactic in the past week has been fishing the margins with the pole or short pole with the bait just touching the bottom, feeding pellet and fishing hook pellet, maggot or meat over the top.
