Map Elton's Mal Bailey notched up a sensational double at the Woodland Lakes Carlton Miniott scooping both the Wednesday and Saturday matches with some phenomenal carp sport.

Malcolm is fast making a name for himself on the carp circuit and now known as the 'paste expert' has quite a few wins under his belt in as many weeks.

Drawing Partridge 13 during the midweeker he delivered a crushing victory 124.4.0 to put the conclusion way beyond doubt.

A balanced paste approach once again proved deadly. Working at 11 metres Malcolm enjoyed a non-stop supply of carp as samples up to the 4.0.0 mark fed avidly.

RSPS Tek Neek Trabucco all rounder Gerry Bowes sat on the peg next door and adopted identical tactics but despite landing a brace of commons averaging 8.0.0 apiece couldn't match the winner's blistering pace and the scales settled at 85.0.0 enough for second place.

Then come Saturday the carp once again got a 'pasting but this time Malcolm had his work cut out as just a pound separated the leading duo.

Over on Skylark Lake 11 runner up Elton Tackle's Phil Sellars put up a good fight bagging 98.6.0 of carp also to the tried and tested paste at 11 metres.

At the Oaks Sessay Round 2 of the Turners Tackle 2004 qualifier got underway on Alders Lake and another five qualified for August's Grand Final worth a cool £1500.

Graham Skirrey one of Turners Tackle's biggest names ensured a place recording 40.8.0.

Swapping between maggot and pellet on the pole off peg four produced mainly roach and ide to set him above the rest.

There was a tie for second spot between Eden Meadows Tony Robinson and Group Five's Carl Bullock on 29.0.0. On peg 12 Tony went out to ten metres on the paste and tempted a mixture of carp and silver fish while Carl on peg 6 relied on ide on the caster.

Map Elton's John McGarrel showed his expertise during the Oaks Whizzo Open on Cedar Lake seeing off the opposition by a clear 12.0.0 lead during Sunday 's slot.

John on peg 14 found good numbers of carp against the island side nothing over 3.0.0 as pellet accounted for 60.2.0.

Leading the others off peg 78 teammate Mark Coyne hung onto runner up spot by ounces as the same tactics encouraged pastie sized carp for 47.5.0.

As the Bob Co Series on Carpvale Fishery Moor Monkton nears it end Harrogate 's John Brain put together 45.10.0 of carp to take the penultimate match in this series of 12. Less was more for winner Billingham Match Group's Martin Crawford who got amongst some quality carp during the latest match at Co Durham's Shotton Pond.
