Junior National – Makins 2026

Last weekend saw the annual get together at Makins fishery for the 24 anglers in the team. On friday the anglers were presented with the groundbait, tshirts and other items from Dynamite baits. The rest of the day was spent practising and formulating a plan for the Junior team and three youth teams.  This was crucial

Saturday was the junior teams turn, consisting of liv Olivia Seymour Fishing, Jack Copp Match Angler, Jenson ludgate angling, Harry Thwaites Angling, Travis Couch Angling page and Dylan Egan Angling

This year there were 20 teams of 6 taking part which was going to make this year the hardest in recent history to get a top three finish.

Liv Seymour did the draw and we were pleased with the lake placement of anglers but the pegs on phase 2 were not the best at all.  It was clear that jenson, harry and jack were doing well on lake 2, 4 and 5 so the crucial results were to come from phase 2.  Liv, Dylan and Travis fished superbly and with 18 points as a team we were quietly confident of a medal. That was until we realised that the 10 peg split sections hadnt fallen quite right for us and with an awesome score of 13 Leigh Ospreys had won the National – well done.

 

The team won a well earned bronze medal with

A section and lake win for Harry thwaites

Section, lake and match win for Jenson

3rd in section for Jack Copp

3rd in section for Travis couch

5th for Liv Seymour and

5th for Dylan Egan

On the individual front Harry finished 4th overall with 50 kilo and Jenson fished an awesome match to win with 99 kilo and a Fishomania qualifing place.

 

Youth National – Makins 2026

Well done to all the parents you were fantastic and continue to set an example that should be followed at these events. Well done to the Angling Trust Competitions its clearly a very stressful weekend and to Makins for the venue.

Roll on next year at Tunnel and in the meantime watch out for the team at the Hallcroft Teams of 4 league, Meadowlands, Moorcroft, The Sensas Challenge and the Commercial National.

We now have a team page namely Dynamite Future Networks please join or follow if you are interested and feel free to message if required.

Thanks must go to Clint Wojtyla , Steven Porter , Daryl Hodges and Duncan Lennox for what you have done for the team and good luck to Jenson and Harry Michael at Westwood.
