Dun-no-more cup, WEDNESDAY 14 July 2010

This match is open to non members and currently we have four confirmed that will be coming and two more that will let us know by the end of the month.

We have the whole of beastie booked but we dont want any more than 26/27 as there are a few crap pegs.

Therefore can you let Ron know if you will be coming as he need an idea of numbers and doesn't want to be oversubscribed.

If any of you have a mate that wants to come please let Ron know and he'll see if he can get them in.

Snake lake, Headfen - 20 June 2010

14 members attended our recent outing at Headfen; a turn out lessened by the fact it was Fathers Day.

With a cool wind on the venue all week prior, it was expected that the venue would not fish to it's full potential although the venue manager, Marcus, did predict that 60-70lb would win despite only 37lb winning the club match the day prior.

With the whole lake booked, Marcus selected 14 of the more consistent pegs to be used and the sections were a split down the middle.

In A section, Pete caught a level 30lb from peg 6, fishing long to the far bank or at 11m with corn over hemp for 3rd in section. Trevor sat on Golden peg 12 and caught 16 fish for 33lb for 2nd in section and the default section money. Mike "Gunter" Smalley won the section from peg 16 with 48lb. This was also enough for 3rd overall.

In B section, Ron, on peg 20 battled with the wind on the long pole and alternated between this and the pellet feeder for 26 fish for 30lb. This earnt him 3rd in section and the default section money. Jonty sat on peg 27 where he landed 35 fish for 58lb 9oz. Fishing meat over toss-potted hemp, he caught well in the first part of the match however once the sun came out, he struggled for a bite. He did manage a couple of fish from the margins on pellet late on. Tony, on peg 26 couldn't quite get the hang of the hemp/meat method so decided to plunder the far bank for passing fish. Fishing 8mm pellet he managed to catch a few fish on the long pole.He also caught a few fish in a productive hour fishing the margins. His 25 fish were enough to take the section and the match with an overall weight of 59lb 1oz.

Result

1- Tony, 59lb 1oz
2- Jonty, 58lb 9oz
3 - Gunter, 48lb
4 - Trev, 33lb
=5 - Ron & Pete, both 30lb

Lou's / 4 Island, Decoy, 6 June 2010

16 members turned out to fish this match which had a slightly different format to usuall due to the match being held over two different lakes. This would make for an interesting experience. 8 fished on Lou’s and 8 fished on 4 Island and this was the split in sections.

On 4 Island, Trev come 3rd in section off peg 2. With Peg 1 & 10 out, he had plenty of water to go at however it appeared most of the better fish were in the main part of the lake. He had a busy day trying to feed off swarms of small F1s, carp and tench however the better fish simply didn’t arrive. He weighted in a respectable 78lb. New man Ian drew in-form peg 8, the only ‘open water’ peg on a very secluded, feature packed and some what pretty lake. Ian concentrated fishing paste to the edge of the lilly pads to the right hand side for a weight of 105lb 2oz for 4th over all and 2nd in section. Almost opposite Ian, Jonty sat on Peg 3. Concentrating fishing pellet shallow at 11m, his net of F1’s went 108lb 2oz marginally beating Ian to the section and taking 3rd in the match.

Over on Lou’s Tony’s weight of 116lb was enough for 2nd in section and 2nd in the match. Ron won the section and the match with a superb 123lb. Ron caught the majority of his fish shallow on pellet however a switch to the margins later on proved worth while as he caught a few better fish in the closing stages.

Result

1st – Ron 123lb
2nd – Tony 116lb
3rd – Jonty 108lb
4th – Ian 105lb
