Caption Competition

Right lads, for a bit of fun let's see what we come up with. Here's one from the captor himself:

"First he puts a hook in my mouth, now he's got his finger up my arse. Bastard !!!"

Mr T's Dent's Common

Ray 'Mr T' Torrington with his stunning 16lb 4oz common caught during our club match on 17 May 2009. The fish was part of Ray's winning weight of 54lb 4oz. Nice fish mate!

Farnshop Lake, Dents - 17 May 2009

17 turned out to fish our latest club match and dispite a brisk southerly wind and a few showers plenty of fish were caught.

Tony on peg 2 had a busy day catching a mixed bag which mainly consisted of crucian carp for a level 30 lb, this catch earnt him 3rd in section. Lewis on peg 7 decided on an out and out waggler shallow attack, a decision which saw better quality fish fall consistently to his shallow fished maggot over loose fed caster. Fishing at about 15m out, Lewis caught steadily all day to record a excellent 38lb 12oz for 2nd in section and 2nd overall. Ray T on peg 5 won the section and match overall. His 38lb of mixed fish plus a beautiful margin caught common carp of 16lb 4oz gave him a total weight of 54lb 4oz and his first match win at the club. A win which is likely to be one of many to come.

In the other section Trev drew fancied peg 16 but the pegs resident big fish eluded him on this occasion, however he did manage a very respectable 34lb using his trusted chopped worm approach. A few pegs away on pegs 13 & 14 sat Ron & Jonty. Again the big fish lines didn't result in fish in the net for either of them. Ron's weight of 25lb was not enough to win the peg-to-peg battle as Jonty weighed in 36lb of pellet caught skimmers/crucians for a section win and 3rd overall.

Top 3:

Ray Torrington - 54lb 4oz
Lewis Harvey - 38lb 12oz
Jonty Wislon - 36lb

Speci-cup entry:

Ray Torrington, Commom Carp, 16lb 4oz, cat meat.

Farmshop Lake - 4 May 2009

As I was at a loose end yesterday afternoon I went and had a walk round with the weigh-in of the Witchford Social Club match as former Grebe member Alan was fishing.

They had pegs 1-18 and 13 fished. Alan was 3rd with 34lb 4oz from peg 14. 1st and 2nd were on pegs 5 and 4 and had 45lb and 41lb respectivley. After speaking to the top 3 what was surprising was the amount of feed used. The catches mainly consisted of the usual silvers/cru's/skimmers. The skimmers are putting on some weight (average 1.5-2lb) and I reckon those who can afford to put in some worm will do well in our match on the 17th.

Like we always have found the fishing slowed after lunch time so it will be key to catch for the duration of the match.

See you there in a few week.

Farmshop Lake, Dents - 17 May 2009

Our next club match is fast apporaching. For those who are unsure where the venue is; pull in off the A10 as it by-passes the village of Hilgay, into Dents Of Hilgay farm shop & garden center. The lake is opposite the shop car park. Hilgay is between Littleport and Downham Market.

Meet at the venue in good time for the draw at 8.30. Fishing times are likely to be 10-4 but may be slightly varied on the day.
