Sunday saw the 22nd Maver Match This qualifier of the year was contested at Westwood Lakes in Boston. With 50 anglers fishing, there was plenty of space for the anglers spread out on Skylark and Falcon Lakes. The win went to Rotherham’s Ashley Linacre, who secured a spot in this month’s final with over 230lb.
Ashley won the match from peg 26 on Skylark using a relatively simple approach. He started down the edge fishing maggot over Blakes’s Pole Mix groundbait. Ashley caught steadily on that line during the opening 30 minutes, before being forced to change to a top kit line when he lost his rig. He stayed on that short line for the rest of the day, potting in casters and fishing maggot on the hook to weigh in with 236lb 7oz.
You can find more details on Ashley’s match on his Facebook page.
