January 2023 SAS Competition Winners

The start of the year saw the arrival of some freezing weather which created some tough conditions for everyone across the country. Whilst the lack of reports reflected this, a few freak mild spells did throw-up some incredible captures for our January SAS Competition!

Matt Heath angled his way to our first place prize with the capture of a fine Norfolk forty. He fished a 15mm Monster Tiger Nut Foodbait pop-up amongst a scattering of matching crushed and whole boilies soaked in lake water and Sweet Tiger Liquid Carp Food after pouncing on a favourable southerly wind. Congrats Matt!

Finishing in second was Wayne Gibson who slipped his net under an INSANE fully whilst celebrating his 50th birthday at Ladywood Lakes in Yorkshire. Conditions were freezing cold with -4 registering but by fishing a maggot-flossed, trimmed-down pop-up over a bed of maggots and Swim Stim Red Krill pellets, he was able to tempt a bite from the deep water.

Last but not least was SAS regular Dalton Wilding who capitalised on his December first-place win with another visit to the Salford Quays. A lot of Dalton’s success this season has come from fishing products in the Hit N Run range and this occasion was no different with another impressive 28lb 4oz common falling to a 15mm pink pop-up. Good work Dalton!
