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.

Kingsland Silverfish Lake, 19 April 2009
Whilst the forecast was for a plesent day, the venue was very much effected by the brisk North Easterly wind that had been prevailing for the the last few days. The abuncdance of quality silver fish were reluctant to feed in any numbers on the pole line and those who persevered fishing shallow for chub were rewarded for their efforts.
Sitting in the wind on peg 18 was Ray Sladden. He started on the pellet waggler from the off, feeding and fishing 6-8mm pellets into the brisk head wind. Halfway into the match Ray had around 10 chub, which averaged about 2 1/2 lb. Not much was happening on the pole line. The odd fish were comming out. Chappy had an early Tench from the peg Trev fished on the previous saturday when he had over 100lb on the pole. Ron caught the odd fish on the pole too, whilst pinging caster with a the hope of a chub or three later in the match.
Karl was quietly putting a few fish in his net. Fishing maggot shallow an the waggler but getting rudd'ed out, he decided to concentrated on fishing the long pole shallow with pellet to be more selective for the chub. A switch that will later prove to be decisive. By the halfway point Ron began to fish maggot shallow on the waggler and caught numerous chub. Lewis, one peg to Ron's left followed suit and also managed half a dozen chub.
Interestingly, as the match came in to the final stages the chub seemed to shut up shop and only the odd fish was being caught. Ray S managed a few fish from the wind swept margin to his right but would they give him enough of a boost come the weigh in?
Result:
=1st Ron Gilbert & Karl Richards 35lb
3rd Ray Sladden 31lb 4oz
4th Jon Wilson 23lb
5th Lewis Harvey 15lb 8oz
