BIG perch, including a two pounder, helped John Eastwood to victory in last Wednesday's Open on Doe Hey.
The TriCast Highfied man used maggot on the pole to tempt the stripies and his 7lbs-9ozs-0drs return could not be bettered.
Bob Fearnhead got the skimmers going late in the match but it was too little, too late, as the Worsley Angling Centre man weighed in at 5lbs-14ozs-0drs. Paul Ayres of GTI Rochdale was third with 3lbs-15ozs-0drs.
An Open takes place on Sunday. To book on ring Bob on 0161 799 4242.
