1 year ago

by Simon in Club Match, Match Reports

Today was the penultimate Jinx League Match. Most people were already at the lake having fished the Evening match the night before. Most were in a pretty bad way due to lack of sleep and/or the amount of beer consumed.

Gem’s hat victims for the day were none other that Clive Pritchard and Ade (Slim Shady) They are also partners in the Jinx league pairs too

Pairs and Hat partners, Clive and Ady

People today caught most of their fish in the final two hours of the match. Marcus Burgess (Budgie) managed his first win at the lake and his second Jinx ton also mainly fishing down the margin to his left on peg 15. Well done mate.

Peter Moreton on peg 8 had caught well but had been through the bushes more times than he would have liked loosing numerous rigs. Fred Parker fished a fine match and managed to survive the 2010 Jinx series without once getting MINXED. Everyone else fishing has been MINXED at least one time Fred will not be at the next match due to a holiday but were all sure Gem would have got you

Dave Collier also managed his first ever Section win on a Jinx match, well done mate. Al Loader also managed to catch the first ever 20lb + Carp on a Jinx match with a carp weighing 20-8 from peg 23. Superb.

The Final Jinx Match for 2010 is on the 21st August and then the lake should be fishing back to normal without Malc been down the lake

Jinx Evening Match. 30th July 2010

Today the Jinx Squad return to the lake to fish their annual Evening match at the lake. They are also fishing on the Saturday too.

Before the match Malc had arranged a BBQ so everyone could have a natter before the match. The draw had been a rolling draw meaning you could draw from anytime after 4pm until the last person turned up. Most people were already at the lake and started drawing. People went and set up on their pegs with 3.5 hours before the match was due to start and then headed back for the BBQ.

John and Pauline

Gem and cooking. uh oh....

Thats more like Gem's cooking

Most people were camping at the lake ready for Saturdays match, and some were even fishing the open match on the Sunday too.

John do you know some Gypo's have moved in ??

Rolfslake flasher, Paul Roberts

Cross your arms if your going to do a Ton tonight

After the BBQ everyone made the way to their pegs. Some people were more excited than others with their drawing hand. See if you can guess which ….. ?

Vince Gould was on 14.

Dave Collier was on 32

Malc Doyle on peg 8 with He-Man in the background

Mitch Auger behind peg 7

Tony Roberts seem quite chuffed to be on 9

Clive Pritchard on peg 31

Jon Hatch looks quite happy

Once the match started people seemed to all catch a fish pretty quickly but then people were struggling. After the lights went on the lake looked lovely but the fishing proved to be hard.

After the match word was A section had fished best with Malc on peg 8 had catching well along with Alex on peg 6. Nick Williams had also had a few. While in B section Al Loader was to the only person to really have put a weight together. In C section fresh was his first Ton weight Nick (Monkey) had been trying for another and came very close, Paul Roberts who had a terrible lasy match had managed to catch a few this time.

After quite a hard Match here are the results…

Position	Name	Peg	Weight
1	Malc Doyle	8	169-12
2	Alex (Bagger J)	6	132-2
3	Al Loader	31	99-8

20	Clive Pritchard	29	27-4
21	Mat Edwards	35	23-10
22	Vince Gould	14	17-12

After the match and the weigh in was complete. People were up drinking and chatting till 5am.

A certain young Lady (Gem) had gone to bed having only fished for 2 hours of the match and then went to sleep behind her peg with the slugs and snails. So 7 out of 24 ain’t bad for 2 hours work is it

If you want to fish a night match at the lake the next one is on the 20th August. The draw time is 6.30pm. Its quite an experience
