Heat 3 of the 2008 Wales Carp Masters took place at Celtic Lakes Resort over the weekend of 4th – 6th July.

Six pairs of carp anglers took part in Heat 3 of Wales’ premier carp fishing competition, with the top three finishing as follows:

 

Position

Team

Weight

1

Justin Hooper & John Keirle

348lb 11oz

2

Paul Xuereb & Shane Heke

292lb 14oz

3

Andrew Roberts & Ken Roberts

240lb 10oz

Despite the rather mixed weather, heat 3 produced some very respectable weights with Justin Hooper and John Keirle comfortably taking first place with 348lb 11oz. The battle for the second qualifying place for the final was somewhat closer with the 2nd to 5th placed pairs all recording weights over 200lb. However it was Paul Xuereb and Shane Heke who took second place with a creditable 292lb 14oz to book their place in the final in August.

John Carney from Celtic Lakes had this to say about heat three:

"We haven’t had the best of luck with the weather so far in the 2008 with heat three, like heat two, being contested in far from ideal conditions. Despite this the competitors and the marshals all did a fantastic job and with over 1400lb of carp being caught between 6 pairs of anglers, we can hardly complain."

There are still places available in the remaining three heats. Heat four at Celtic Lakes was won last year with an astonishing 609lb. So if you fancy some amazing carp fishing and a chance to be crowned Wales carp Masters 2008, please visit our registration page to find out more.
