Following the success of the golden peg competition last year we will continue this for the new season, this adds to the excitement and of course the banter before, during and after the match!
The pot will continue to be limited to $100 per golden peg, this ensures we don't get people travelling to win big money. This is what became apparent in UK clubs and we are all for the money being won by our own anglers...
Therefore when each golden peg reaches the $100 limit we just start a second and draw two golden pegs out for each match.
Last season witnessed a few "GOLDEN BLOWOUTS" by some of our best anglers, it just seems when people draw the peg...things don't go to plan. We also had very close pay outs by Gary Dallimoore for the #1 $100 peg off noted peg 42 in the Twilight Lucky Dip with 58lb 6oz, however Steve Gaskell had other ideas from the opposite side of the lake from noted peg 8 with 60lb 4oz a mere 1lb 14oz was all that prevented the first Golden Peg payout. So after the above blow outs and close calls, the first Golden Peg was won by Gary all be it very close. Well done!!! So the Golden Peg #2 has finally been won, by Ray Bricknell during a patchy match at Lake Hutchinson with anglers only getting single digit bites and in a few instances no bites. Well done Ray a good win!!
