Championships - PHOTO SHOTS
|
Poland's
Piotr Lorenc fished
brilliantly to win
A section on day 1
with 3.975kg.
The silver individual
medallist from WC 2001
had a typical mixed
bag of perch
and bream.
|
 |
14th overall,
France's
Didier Guessard
fished his usual
consistent style
day 1 - 2 points,
day 2 - 9 points.
|
 |
|
Another
consistent
performer was
Hungary's
Attila Nagy,
12th overall,
with 2 points
and 8 points.
|
 |
Francois
De Schepper of
Belgium had a
tough day 1 with
Christophe
Gazannois (F) and
Gunter Horler (D),
Francois ended the
day with 2.920kg
for 3 points.
|
 |
|
|
Italy's
Umberto Ballabeni with
one of the bream that
gave him 4 points
and 2.775kg
on day 1.
|
 |
Pole cups, allowed
for the fist time at
this years
championships
...but the crystal
clear conditions
were not ideal.
|
 |
|
Stefano Defendi of
Italy had a good
first World
Championship..
...note the small
cone shaped net
Stefano used to stop
his pole slipping into
the lake..
..a good idea.
|
 |
Top man for
Portugal was
Mario Baptista
who fished
consistently
well over the
two days
beating all
around him.
|
 |
|
|
England's
Will Raison
had to summon all
his experience
on the clear
flat calm
Belgian lake.
|
 |
You need
at least
two heads,
as Scotland's
David Corcoran
discovered
with Alan
Scotthorne
at the next
peg.
|
 |
|
Lake Willebroek
was good for
competitors and
spectators, this was
strangely only
spoiled by the
unusual Belgian
weather.
The hot calm
conditions made the
fishing difficult.
|
 |
Andrzej
Bukrak
of Poland
balling in
at the
beginning
of the
competition.
