Drennan GOT Bait dominated the fourth round of the Oxford Winter League, fished by 60 anglers on the Aylesbury Canal from Park Street to above Broughton Lock.

Conditions looked good, with the water back to full level after being 18 inches down last week.

But the influx of cold water from the Tring reservoirs may have a detrimental effect, as the fishing was hard in the sections out of the town, while pike were active in others.

Steve Townsend (Drennan GOT Bait) was the winner with 8.10.0 from a section above Oakfield bridge.

He caught three skimmers on bread punch, plus perch and roach on bloodworm over joker.

Second was Gary Barclay (Drennan GOT Bait) with 7.1.0 of mainly roach on punch.

Ian Browne completed the Drennan GOT Bait 1-2-3 with a third-placed 7.0.0 of roach, rudd and perch on bloodworm over joker.

Team result: 1 Drennan GOT Bait 49 pts,FM ISIS 40, Sensas A4 38.

Drennan lead the league with four points from Sensas A4 on nine.

Stable Lake fished well for the seven Tackley club members on Sunday.

Legering breadflake, Steph-en Malone romped home with 57.10.0 of carp.

Dave Clarke was second with 27.4.0 on pole and meat, followed by Frank Malone with 19.8.0 on corn and pellet.

Dorchester travelled over to the Glebe near Bicester for their fourth Inter-League match, fished by seven.

It was Glebe that produced a record perch for young Dean Rawlings not long ago, but last Sunday, crucian carp figured strongly.

Ted Budziszewski fished a whip with small pieces of bread for a second-placed 43.13.0, and third with 27.3.0 was Lol Budd, who also fished bread, but used the long pole.

Lower Court Farm was the venue for Yarnton’s latest match fished by 14, Harry Oliver (RS Baits) emerging the winner with a net of carp on the feeder and pole for 47.11.0.

Jason Jones was runner-up with 33.14.0, and third with 15.10.0 was Andy Gardener. Both used feeders.

Nick Rumble was second with 7.4.0 of perch and roach on pole and bread, followed by Dennis Butler with 4.5.0 of roach, perch and skimmers on pole and maggot.

There was a good turn-out of 18 for the Kinloch AC match fished on Oxford Canal at the Rock of Gibraltar,which was on good form.
