World Carp Classic qualifying event Gibraltar 2010.

The World Carp Classic Gibraltar qualifier 2010 was an absolute success! The trophy as you can see here (left) was a gem, crystal cut glass, a whole lot of class direct from the Rock!

The event took place last weekend on Lake Alfarofia, Elvas Portugal. The first fish to be caught during the event, and for that matter the first fish ever to be caught from the Iberiena peninsula in a World Carp classic event fell to John Tattersall on the 2nd day from Peg 6. The fish was a welcome one after a quiet 24hr….
All the Anglers who came and took part in the qualifier were well impressed with the facilities and the hospitality the event organizers and Lake Alfarofia had to offer. So much so that many of the Anglers will return to the lake for sure!
During the event a total of 5 fish were caught, and saldy many lost! The biggest fish a stunning common carp of 28lb 20oz was caught by Kelvin Ball from peg 1. Kelvin and his team mate Paul Williams were delighted with the fish and their prize supplied by PB Products for biggest fish caught during the event. The overall winners of the event with 3 fish taken from peg 6 was Graham Noon and John Tattersall. The team managed close to 50lb of fish from their swim. They took 1st prize of goods supplied from Dynamite Baits. The pair will go onto Lake Madine to fish the World Carp Classic final in 2010.
The qualifying event organizers Andy Macgregor and Peter Staggs would like to thank the venue owner Joao Carlos for his support with the event. Also many thanks to Dynamite Baits and PB Products for their kind sponsorship, and last but not least thanks to all of those who took part in the first World Carp Classic qualifying event in the Iberian peninsula.

It was clear everyone thoroughly enjoyed taking part, we very much look forward to seeing the majority of those who took part in the event next year and probably a handful of new faces too!

We hope that the luck hold out for Graham and John in September when they goto France and fish the final on Lack Madine, France!
