Middy man Andy Quarmby makes it two matches in a week.

With lake owner John Bennett this week taking a well earnt break it was left to me Eddie to run the match down the lake today and with a low attendance it was decided to have a walk off match where the angler could choose their own peg.

With carp showing all over the lake it was a difficult choice for some and very easy for others especially Middy sponsored Andy Quarmby who today chose peg 8 in the gap between the big and small lake. The final result would show it was easy for Andy but it was not with Andy losing many fish down the edge by the bush and also down the middle but in between he managed to catch big carp to upper double figures by fishing pellet hookbait feeding pellet and after 5 hours was only 1 carp off his second double ton in two weeks with his final weight of 195-03 { well done Andy}.

The battle for second place was a tight one with Paul Jay just edging Mick Jones out with his weight of 155-11 off peg 32 to Mick’s 144-06 off peg 5.

Hot weather slows the fishing down.

Today saw a small attendance down the lake so it was decided to have a walk off match which gave the anglers a choice of any peg around the lake so the anglers were spoilt for choice with 3 fishing the big lake and 4 fishing the small lake so after 5 hours we would see who got it right,

The weather was very warm and bright turning cooler as the match went on and with lots of cruising fish it was quickly evident that it was going to be a tough day trying to get the fish to feed. The one angler to have some success today was Mick Jones who selected peg 16 in the big lake and by fishing his usual meat hookbait feeding pellet Mick managed to catch about 15 carp to double figures. Mick avoided the cruising carp by fishing the bomb and tea bag to catch his carp and after 5 hours put the only ton weight on the scales with 105-07 { well done Mick }.

The close battle for second was won by Malc Doyle on peg 25 with his weight of 73-06 to Chris Lovelock fishing peg 9’s weight of 69-05.

John 11

After the match both John and myself carried on fishing as we were convinced there were still fish to be caught and in an hour and a half John caught 12 carp to double figures fishing the  edge tight to the bank and I caught 17 from both the bush and the top two down the right margin also to double figures fishing paste in what was both a frustrating match and a fun end.
