The first Tydd Gote Angling Club match of the new season on the North Level at Main Road was a dour affair with the drain out of sorts after days of heavy rain.
With the water being pumped, there was a steady flow all day with levels dropping by several inches over the five hours.
But that didn’t deter feeder supremo Colin Burton on peg 19 who enticed a 4lb 12oz bream to his worm hookbait for a comfortable win.
Archie Greenwood and Andrew Kilby had a real fish for fish battle on pegs 16 and 17 with Greenwood coming out on top with 2lb 1oz of roach that included a couple of net fish.
Kilby took third spot with 1lb 13oz, rueing the loss of a last minute 6oz roach that would have given him the runners up berth. Pete Emery, on peg 28 was fourth with 15oz with over half of that made up of a single perch.
