SWINDON angler Kevin Bamford has certainly had a weekend's fishing to remember.
In the scorching heat on Saturday he descended on Marlborough's Heron lake to win the club match with 43lb 6oz from peg 11 with a bag of goldfish, crucians, rudd and perch.
Then on Sunday it was of to Bourton-on-the-Water with the visiting club, Atomic. Drawing peg 23, Kevin amassed 244lb of carp some 72lb more than runners-up spot, and to top it off it was the golden peg as well.
