Having just turned 16, Abbey Cutting decided to enter her first-ever ‘proper’ match in the shape of a qualifier for the Fish North event… and promptly won it!
She’s followed the series over the last few years, watching every final as a spectator, so Abbey eagerly awaited the chance to buy a ticket herself.
When she reached the age of 16, she entered the match at Woodlands Lakes, where she drew Peg 1 on Middy Moat – and made no mistake in claiming victory.
“I had a decent run of F1s and silvers on the long pole to the island before catching some lovely carp and F1s down the edgelater on, landing 40 fish for 76lb 3oz. That was enough to qualify,” Abbey said.
“I’m buzzing with the result at my first ever go.”
Abbey must now fish a semi-final and, if she gets through that, she will be competing for the £10k top prize in the grand final later on this year.
