Korda vs Nash: Dovey and Spooner take on Alan Blair and Scott Lloyd
Two of carp fishing’s biggest brands, four competitive anglers and 30 hours to settle the bragging rights. Dovey and Spooner face Alan Blair and Scott Lloyd for the first time in a team battle at Blue Pool, with neither side keen to finish second.
The rules are straightforward: two anglers per team, two rods each and half the lake to work with. Every carp adds to the team’s combined weight, but how they catch them is entirely their choice. Moving swims, stalking the margins or committing to baited spots — it’s all to play for.
Blue Pool offers plenty of opportunities, alongside a few headaches. Tight bays, snaggy margins and weedy open water give both teams something to think about, and their approaches soon take different directions.
Alan and Scott keep mobile, hunting close-range chances with lift floats, stalking tactics and the Bushwhacker. Dovey and Spooner split their efforts between the margins and building spots in open water, hoping to keep the carp coming as the match unfolds.
Naturally, the banter starts early. With fish feeding under their feet, missed opportunities, lost carp and some unlikely trading between the camps, there’s plenty going on beyond the scoreboard.
But as one team begins to pull ahead, the laughs come with a little more pressure. Every bite matters, and nobody wants to spend the journey home hearing about how they lost.
Can Alan and Scott turn things around, or will Dovey and Spooner make home advantage count? Expect contrasting tactics, plenty of carp and all the stick you’d expect when Korda and Nash go head-to-head.
