Day Three
The fishing today was generally harder on all the lakes, despite a cloudless sky it was very cold and we had a light frost and with low pressure that hampered everyone’s fishing, it also didn’t help that the sun was very bright casting a glare over many of the lakes and there was not a breath of wind anywhere.

The fish are not feeding a lot and many anglers were over feeding their pegs and the fish were simply not interested. Although the day was slower there were still plenty of bites had – has it affected the top ten – read on for more information.

Gwinear
Gwinear is still going strong and produced a great weight for Geoff Ringer who won the lake with an impressive 125lb 5oz; Geoff was on peg 28 and caught under the bridge on corn. Second on the lake was Kip Deards on peg 31, Kip caught on 6 mil pellets with hard pellet on the hook across to weigh in a total of 97lb 11oz.

Although facing a difficult situation the anglers battled on and emerged victorious especially the lake winner Richie Hull who weighed in with 151lb 11oz, Richie on peg 27 of the high bank fished long pole with meat on the deck. Second went to Mark Pleavin on peg 17 with 107lb. Karl Webster took third on the lake with 101lb 13oz, Karl caught on pellet shallow on the waggler and 16 metre pole at depth.

White Acres Maver Festival 2005 – The Winners
What an exciting week and an even more exciting final day, the points and positions have been so tight this week it has been a mad dash for the winning line from day one. There were only 3 points separating the top 10 results, it was so close no one was 100% of their final position; it was down to the very wire and went on dropped points and weight.

The Winner
John Bradshaw and newcomer to the White Acres festival circuit emerged victorious in this years Maver Festival taking the 2005 title. John is a well deserved winner who has fished strongly & consistently over the week to give him a final result of 36 points (lowest points dropped) 324lb 12oz (minus lowest days weight) John picks up a £3000 bonus as well as tackle from Maver

Second
Tony Wynnick takes second overall on the festival, Tony has had a great week, it has been nerve wracking time climbing up the top ten and then dropping back to second, his final result was 35 points (lowest points dropped) and a weight of 253lb 4oz (minus lowest days weight) Tony cannot - and is not the type to grumble though and is thoroughly happy with his £1500 cheque and new Maver tackle.

Third
Dean Barlow takes third position also with 35 points (lowest points dropped) with 229lb 12oz (minus lowest days weight) Dean has quietly crept up through the top ten during the week by fishing strongly and securing section wins and seconds leaving him third overall.

Overall Top Twenty
So this is the end of another successful White Acres festival, massive thanks to our sponsor Maver and to all of the anglers that took part – see you in 2006! Full festival results coming soon.
