Frank Donachie Invitation match 1st May 2011.
A strong wind spoils the fishing down the lake today.
John tells me that he expected the fishing to be better today than yesterday for Frank Donachie’s match today but with a strong wind blowing from the small lake to the big lake it made presentation for the anglers very difficult if you were on one of the car park bank swims.
With the fish looking like they had finished spawning { maybe } all the anglers were hoping for a few fish today but John tells me fishing was extremely difficult in the wind as it made presentation hard with anglers having to resort to the tip to get any bites.
Todays winner was Frank Donachie who was on Jekyll and Hide peg 4 as it seems that a good weight only comes off this peg ever comes off this peg ever 3 or 4 matches, but today was Franks day fishing the pole using meat and corn hookbait to catch his fish and during the match Frank caught fish to double figures in his weight of 182-04 for his win { well done Frank }.
12 fished this match.
