Gary Horne’s Annual Match. 2nd September 2011
Hazy Morning at the lake
Gary Horne had his annual match at the lake today. With only 17 fishing it should have made for some good angling as everyone had plenty of room but the carp had other ideas.

Very hot day and no wind
Fishing today was from 12 till 5pm. 2 hours in to the match and most people had not had a carp or even a bite. The sun was blazing down on the lake. When the sun went off the water on the car park bank peg they started having a few.
Hard going on the carpark bank
Paul Horne on peg 32
Pegs 14 and 16 were having a few fish in the big lake but it was a different story in the little lake. Rock hard with everyone struggling and a few people targeting the silvers to try and win the top silvers weight.
I had to wait till the last hour to get my first carp bite from peg 9, Just as the sun went off the water behind the big poplar tree. The fish were lined up and I starting catching one a chuck but foul hookers were causing a few problems.
My first fish went 18lb-4oz. Good start 😀
Gary on peg 38 had not hooked a carp so instead started catching small roach from the end of his keepnet on his topkit. He finished with 100 roach for 11lb-4oz to take the top silvers weight on the day.
