Monday Open Match. 7th May 2012

May 8, 2012 Simon 2 comments

Today 21 anglers turned for the bank holiday open match. The weather had once again taken a turn for the worse and the wind had done a 180° and the rain had started. The banks had only just dried out from last weeks heavy rain too.

All the anglers drew and there were 3 pegs left in the bag, Mick Hughes wanted what was left so that left me and Paul Glenfield. There was 8, 32 and 36 left in the bag and poor Paul put his hand in and pulled out 36, I pulled out 8 which left 32 for yesterdays winner Mick.

Fishing was from 12pm to 5pm. The all in was shouted by Paul Jay. Most of the anglers were in to fish right away but then struggling for bites for the rest of the match. Simon on peg 8 had a run of 6 weighers in the first 30 minutes adn then the wind picked up making presentation very difficult. Joff Rogers on peg 7 was having a steady run of fish throughout the match but he was being plagued by foul hooked fish which resulted in a broken 6th section on his Airity, he lost a total of 16 fish.

Mick Jones on peg 2 was catching steadily too chucking the bomb to the corner by peg 3. Just 4oz behind him was Dave Wightman on peg 34 who had more fish but they were a lot smaller in size. Phil Powell on yesterdays winning peg 6 was making the most of the fish that were still in the peg and was steadily edging away with the match helped along by a run of weighers in the last 30 minutes.

Up in the big lake Dan Jones on peg 10 was not far behind Phil but (source, John Bennett) he was spending too much time on his phone and loosing and missing bites, this probably cost him the match and certainly a ton weight at the lake but he still caught enough to take to section win, Well done. The C Section battle was between the purple plonker (Roger Young) on peg 16 and Robin Cave on peg 26. As with A section it was going to be a close finish with just 8oz separating the two. Robin just came out ahead, Well done Robin.

Phil Powell. Winning peg 6

Some of Robin Caves fish.

There's always tomorrow or Wednesday or Saturday or Monday or next Wednesday Dai 😛 😀

The only thing Mick Lane picked up today was Olly the dog 😀

Rain stops and the wind dies down AFTER the match again.

Just to inform the Monday match regulars that Next Monday’s (7th May) match is a Bank Holiday open and the draw will be at 10.30 am NOT 1pm like normal Monday Opens. Thank you.

Todays Open Paul tried to peg it so the anglers were out of the wind much the same as John did yesterday.

Mick Chappell was making the most of being in the little lake on his own and scores his first double ton of the year, Well done Mick 🙂 Paul Jay was at his second home (Peg 18) and started fishing once he had opened his mail and fed the dog 😛 Paul fished down to the bush and on the waggler. Having 55lb 8oz Dai on peg 16 was not expecting to frame but nether the less he did. Well done.

Osprey’s AC Match. 22nd April 2012

Neil has just sent me the results for his club match back on the 22nd of April. This match last year produced some big weights but it was totally different weather last year. This year’s match was a different story though.

Today’s winner Ian Millin fishing from peg 28 used 10 pints of maggot and fished shallow long for the whole match catching everything from roach to carp. Malc Doyle in second place fished a short line with paste to keep the fishing coming. Completing the frame was Rolfs regular Mick Chappell fishing from peg 7.

Well done.

Jinx 2 day Special. 27th and 28th April 2012

April 29, 2012 Simon 3 comments

The start of a new year and the start of a new JINX Series. This year Malc was running a warm up for the series (Hardly a WARM up) in the form of a 2 dayer. Malc was unable to attend the first match due to having to work 😯 Friday morning and the JINX mob descended on the car park and started unloading their gear. With all the hello’s done with we decided to get on with the draw as the dark clouds were looming over the lake and nobody likes to set up in the rain.

As it was only 2 days all the pegs were in the bag for a random draw both days as you couldn’t fish a different section each day. Fishing was from 12pm-6pm so everyone had plenty of time to set up. Once everyone was set up the wind dropped and the heavens opened up.

John Bennett starting the match with his new toy.

Within the first 5 minutes Neil Riddy on peg 34 was in to his second fish and I was just landing my first fish on peg 9. Mat on peg 32 had hooked and lost a carp too. Due to the nasty weather I never got a chance to go and take any pictures like normal and was taking much notice of anything other than trying to stay dry.

The rain continued for the whole match 🙁 so there was not much banter on the day. Jinx virgin Dave Wall on peg 16 had been catching through out the match from the right hand side as had Nick Williams on peg 19 catching off the bush by the boat. Gem ‘THE MINX’ on peg 26 had not been having a good day and had only managed 1 roach much to the delight of the other 18 anglers, myself included 😛

As soon as the match was over the rain stopped and the sun came out for a short while. At least we could do the weigh in in the dry. Here is the tale of the scales….

Day 2.

We all woke up to the sound of strong gust of wind blasting the lake. The wind had done a total 180° and was now blowing from the little lake towards peg 19 and 21. Most people had been to the harvester for a breakfast and a warm up before the match.

With everyone ready for the draw we again got the draw under-way early so everyone could have some extra time to set up. Malc had turned up today to fish instead of Gem who was stick tucked up in the caravan in the warm. It was spitting with rain and extremely windy.

Much the same as yesterday there was not much banter as it was horrid conditions again and everyone was either to cold or could not hear anyone else as the wind was battering the anglers.

A section was a bit of a crazy section today as Dave Collier and Kev Loveland (both in A section) had decided not to fish due to the weather which left peg 6 and 39 out as well as 37. So Mat who had draw peg 3 had a nice day’s pleasure fishing with the nearest person to him being who ever was driving past on the M40 Peter Morton who was on peg 3 yesterday had draw the complete opposite and was sitting on peg 19 today with the full force of the wind blasting his face.

Most people today started on the bomb and feeder as the wind was blowing poles all over the place. The Odd fish was coming out. Malc fishing on peg 25 then made his first visit of the day to his weigh station with a 21lb 8oz common caught on the past by the bush. Picture below….

Simon Watkins on peg 30 had put the information John B gave him to good use and had started catching a good run of 14lb plus fish and was making regular visits to the weigh station. He was using a special Maver telescopic topkit 😆 Unknown to him, Maver topkits for his pole are not telescopic and we pointed out to his that they were in fact put over joints, small error but he was still landing the fish on them. Also doing well was Paul Roberts on peg 32 chucking the feeder down by peg 33, he was getting a good run of fish through out the match.

Mat all on his own was in fact doing a great job of catching after his miserable day on peg 32 and was putting together a good weight for second on the day. Mugger Morton on peg 19 was fishing to the boat and was storming along despite stopping and going for a walk for half an hour he managed to win on the day which ultimately contributed to his Overall win of the 2 days. 😀

Sorry for the lack of pictures, here are the results for the final day…

Not many pictures taken due to the very poor weather, but here is one of Malc with a 21-8 common caught from peg 25 on paste.

Malc Doyle. 21lb 8 oz. Well done Malc.

Well done to Peter Morton for the overall win and also taking Peg king for peg 19.

Some of the Jinxster’s stayed over to fish the Open match today but I think most had had enough of the weather, but 8 others turned up to fish despite this weather…..
