Magpie Lake, Pidley, 21 November 2010

9 hardy souls fished the latest Grebe match at Magpie lakes, Pidley.

Out in front with a fine 25lb was Martin Spragg fishing maggot and pellet on the feeder to the island from end peg 12. Weasel who started at least half an hour after everyone else was second with 13lb 4oz fishing similar tactics from peg 11. A big well done to Stewart who finished 3rd from Peg 5 fishing the pole across to the reeds, he weighed in 12lb.

Ron managed 4th place with 9lb 4oz from peg 6 fishing pole on the deck with pinkie and worm, the weights dropped of after that next best was A T Tony with 3lb 14oz, Simon had 2lb 4oz and BIG T had 1lb 14oz. Borag and Wayne did not weigh though both had a few Roach.

Well thats another season nearly done, the championship was wrapped up by Jon Wilson some time ago and it looks like Stewart will win the Handicap Cup, though Keith is still in with a shout.
The Winter cup is still wide open, it is between Ron, Weasel and Jon Wilson, though Martin Spragg could win it if results go his way.

See you at the fur and feather, if you have not done so could you please let me know if you are coming.

Fur & Feather, 12 Dec 2010 @ Factory Bank

I have booked the fur & feather, it will take place on Factory Bank, Ramsey.
I can here some of you moan but if you dont like it you can book it next year!

On a positive note the place is fishing its tits off, most of the pegs have been dredged out with the depth now up to 5ft, recent matches have been won with 16lb + and you need at least double figures to frame. As always it will be down to the weather so fingers crossed.

Date,Sunday 12th December, draw at 8.45 fish 10 to 3.

15 pegs have been booked and they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Let me know if you want to bring a guest.

For those members that dont know this venue it is a drain, full of roach, there are more skimmers about this year with the chance of a slab or a decent tench. Pike are sometimes a problem in the early pegs, there is also a chance of a decent perch. If there has been a bit of rain it will be running so bring a selection of rigs.

Worm, and caster for the bigger fish, otherwise groundbait pinkie and mag for the Roach with the possibility of stamp Roach on hemp across.

Steve G, you need to send a cheque to Keith Rayment, 27 Princess Street, Ramsey, Cambs, PE26 1JW. Cost 15 pegs at £3.00 = £45.00. Can you email me to let me know you have sent it please.

I will book the Lion at St Marys for the after match dinner so can you let me know if you will be fishing and if you want dinner. I assume the club will be helping towards the cost.

I am not psychic so please reply.

I hope some of you will make the effort to attend, it would be nice to see some faces that have not managed to fish a match this year

I look forward to your replies

Ron
