Royal Oak AC. 26th February 2012.

 

As the weather was warm this week we were all looking forward to big weights and plenty of bites.Today 14 anglers turned up to fish today’s club match. Most of them have never fished it before if they had it was when Rolf use to be the owner which is a few years back. When we arrived at the lake we could see that there was a over night frost which ended up effecting the fishing in today’s match.

When the match started at at 10am Mick on peg 26 caught a fish all most straight away on the feeder. Then he also followed this up with another. It then went quiet for a while in till I manage to get a 17lb’er on peg 14 and Roger on peg 24 also caught a fish at the same time. Dave also manage to get a 22Lb carp on peg 40 which ended up his only fish of the day. It was looking really good but bites dried up completely for most of the day in till 1pm when a few fish were caught mainly on the feeder on straight lead.

In the last hour Paul on peg 16 who fished a great match caught 2 carp on the pole but tangled up so went around to my peg and took my bomb rod and to my amazement caught a fish in seconds. I managed to catch two more fish that just beat Paul by ozs even though the fishing was hard it was a great day and we hope that we will be able to be back soon. I would also like to thank John b for being down the lake helping with the weighing etc

Saturday Open Match. 18th February 2012

 

With all the ice gone and the weather seeming to be improving it seem some of the fish down the lake were in the mood for a bit of food today, The fish were not carp though. The illusive Bream and skimmers showed up today and in big numbers too.

During the winter league I think only myself and Dave Wightman caught a bream but today Steve Waters fishing from peg 33 had them queuing up for his bait. At the end of the match he was showing no signs of slowing down either, a possible ton of skimmers/bream today if he had a bit longer John Bennett said.

He managed 4 carp for 26-12 and 60lb of bream/skimmers to take the win today. Well done.
