Welcome to the Boddington GOT Baits Open 2008 information page, The match was fished on 4 May 2008. Ray would like to thank all those anglers who attended. 

A grand total of 46 Matchmen Fish this event with most finding the going at the famous Boddingtons Res once again very hard. On the day the Top Spot went to Omer Patel [Kobra Feeders] Omer fished the method for 70lb 8oz from Peg 94, a popular winner on the day and a good weight considering the challenging form of the Reservoir in recent matches.

Conditions could have been better!

Runner up on the day was Steve Gregory [MAP/Miracle Baits] who took 58lb 8oz from Peg 99. The bulk of the catch for steve Steve came on the short pole on paste. It was Jof Rogers [Maggots End] in third place, Jof had 40lb 8oz on the method at distance. Last places of the main frame were Gary Duce with 40lb 02oz from peg 85 for 4th and 5th place went to Mick Macmillan [G.O.T Baits] with 38lb from peg 80.

Top moment of the day, was watching Gary Thorpe trying to land a boat that had tangled in his line [FAF] He nearly got it in but his hook pulled out 30 yards from the bank [poor presentation]

Gary played a boat for while!
