MOG’s Marauders Match. Sun 22nd Aug 2010
Geoff Palmer.... MOG
A few of the Jinxsters had camped over after the BBQ so they could have a drink and travel back in the day-time. They woke up to find the car park buzzing with anglers fishing a club match at the lake. The club had turned up with half the number expected so instead of 20 anglers there were 10, they decided to fish in the big lake which left the little lake free 😐
A plan was hatched by Geoff to run a small knock-up match on the little lake with John’s permission. A few of the anglers had to get permission of their other halves 😀 With permission granted 8 angler gathered to discuss plans for the day.
We all decided not to draw pegs but just simply choose a peg that we fancied fishing. We all chose our pegs and then decided to fish from 1pm – 6pm. We paid our peg fee’s and all put £2 in the pot to give two prizes for the day, £11 for most weigh and £5 for the biggest fish.
Everyone was set up and ready but with 15 minutes to go Geoff was summoned to go and have his dinner or miss out 😀
- Me {Simon Mound} on peg 38
- Malc, Julie, Crystal Doyle on peg 39
- Gem Doyle on peg 1
- Geoff Palmer on peg 3
- Nick Williams on peg 4
- Marcus Burgess and Liam Doyle on peg 6
- Dai Thomas on peg 7
- Mat Edwards on peg 8
We gave him an extra 15 minutes to come back and then I called the all in. Budgie fishing from peg 6 had decided that he fancied doing some coaching for the day. Liam Doyle was his pupil, Liam had already had a go on my gear on peg 32 last night and caught a nice carp and was eager to continue where he left off last night.

Everyone started off fairly well catching fish apart from poor Gem fishing from peg 1. Mat on peg 8 had landed his first carp in 3 days having failed to catch one in the previous two matches. I was having a chat with John Bennett and watching the other fishing and decided to go and have a go, I fed 2 handfuls of pellets on the left hand bush on peg 38 and dropped the rig in. I had a fish on right away too followed by another. I also dropped the feeder under the bush as I fancied a go on the rod and had a few more from both the left and right bushes.
By this time Liam was shouting and had his first fish on and in the net. He was very excited to say the least 😀 Malc on peg 39 had had a few fish but he too was in coaching mode, his wife Julie was on his box and playing a fish 😯 Anyone who knows Julie will know that she does NOT do fishing and hates it…. well used too. After having a few goes over the weekend it seems she was hooked now. Julies run on his box was cut short by yet another Doyle wanting to have a go. Crystal was soon on his box and playing a fish much to the disgust of Gem who was still fishless.
Dai and Mat on pegs 7 and 8 were catching plenty of fish and Geoff was hooking lots of fish on peg 3 but was loosing them as they were foul hooked. Nick on peg 4 was playing the odd fish but seemed to be struggling. Malc had managed to get on his box and catch a few more and also went on Gems peg to catch one off her peg to prove there was some fish in there 😀 Gem did manage one of her own using the feeder rod.
In the last hour of the mini match Liam had been bagging up big time. He let out a very loud “YES” when he landed a fish that he had been playing for 15 minutes, a fish of 18lb 8oz 😯 and a new PB for him. This fish was closely followed by a 17lb 2oz fish 😯 😯 Not bad for a 7 year old.
I shouted the all out at 6-15 and Liam was jumping up and down with excitement having caught a lot of fish. Gem came round and had a go on my peg as the bush was alive with fish and was soon catching a few much needed fish 😀
We all packed up and got the weigh in done.

The star of the day was Liam who has weighed a massive 90lb 2 oz on his first 5 hour match and had also shattered most people’s PB carp. Well done Liam, I think even Marcus learnt a thing or two 😀
Everyone had a great day and would like to thank John for letting us fish.
A few pictures now …

Jinx Series. Final Match. 21st Aug 2010
This was the final match of the series and things at the top of the individual and pairs league were very close. Malc Doyle, Peter Morton and Clive Pritchard were all in contention of winning the individual title. Malc and myself were in the lead with the pair results but were closely followed by Clive Pritchard and Ade Williams so it was all to play for. The final outcome was to be decided in the final match of the series.
It was going to be a tough match today as the lake had suffered from low oxygen levels and the lake was covered in fish gulping for air on the surface Saturday morning. John Bennett had the aerators running and was also pumping water in to the lake to get some oxygen back in the water from 7am to just before the start of the match.
The draw today was at 11.30am with fishing from 1.30 – 6-30. As this was the last match some of the lads had brought along their better halves to attend the BBQ after the match. Some of the Jinxsters had fished the night match and had camped over at the lake ready for the last Jinx Match. Soon the car park was full of the rest of the Jinxsters and the draw was made.
Fishing today was similar to last night with a lot of people catching early on and then struggling for the rest of the match. The wind was very strong today blowing through from the big lake to the little lake.
Not many pictures today as everyone was too busy trying to catch a fish. Peter Morton supplied a few pictures, thanks Peter.

Which resulted in a PB 4lb Chub
Down in the little lake Terry and Marcus were having their own little match fish from pegs 40 and 2. Marcus was leading the way until half an hour to go then Terry pulled out 3 weighers one after another to take the win from Marcus and overall match win too. Well done Terry.
Round the big lake it was all hit and miss. I had had a steady run of fish from the bush on peg 32 and then had no bites for an hour. Dave Moore fishing peg 9 had changed his normal paste tactics to fish for bream and while it worked for a while those pesky carp moved in and he was soon putting a few more fish in the net. Clive and Malc were having another little battle and it was a close one too with Malc just pipping Clive at the end.
With the match over we got the weigh in done quickly to give people more time at the BBQ and it became clear just how hard it had fished. The winner today was Terry and this was his first ever Match win so a Big well done to Terry 🙂

Malc had again run an excellent series. I think the final match left everyone hungry for next year. Well done Malc. 😀 Well done to all the Jinxster for all the PB’s and Banter and making the series a great one to fish.
Some of the Jinxsters stayed over so they could have a drink at the BBQ and also travel back home the following day but there was a surprise in store when they woke up Sunday morning. More to come later…..
Maggotdrowning.com Pairs Weekend. 7th, 8th Aug 2010
Red Leader, Match organiser and Maggotdrowing.com owner. Dave Webster
The weekend had arrived for the annual maggotdrowing.com pairs match. Forum members from the site do battle for bragging rights and a nice trophy for the cabinet. Trophies for this years match were organised by Peter Morton as Dave was having problems getting hold of them.
The Trophies for the lucky winners
Some of the anglers were already at the lake having fished the match yesterday but it wasn’t long before everyone arrived for the draw. Fishing today was from 2pm-7pm
People arriving for the Draw
Saturday
While people were setting up Crystal and Liam Doyle went round and collected people’s guesses on ‘Guess the Weight’ competition.
Liam and Crystal
The fishing today was quite patchy with people catching fish but certain pegs were doing better than others. Malc Doyle in the big lake on peg 25 was catching plenty of fish and making regular trips to the weight station fishing short. I was having regular fish fishing the feeder and short pole lines from peg 17. Steve Wilson on peg 29 was putting a few fish together also. Steve Akal fishing peg 20 was doing a fine job of taking the peg king title.
Down in the little lake only 2 pegs were heading towards a ton weight today. Tony Roberts on peg 3 was blasting past Eddies peg king weight and heading towards a double ton and Jon Hatch on peg 39 was nearing the ton but it was to be some silver fish that made it possible 😀
Nearly a Double but still a new Peg King. Tony Roberts
Jon Hatch on peg 39, praise to the silvers
Clive Pritchard looks to be camped on peg 32 😀
Two club angler appeared at the lake in preparation of their match to have a look round. They arrived just as Steve Wilson was weighing in a 21lb carp. They went over to have a look and were astounded with the size of the fish. They went back over to John and said..
“That bloke just had a 21lb’er and never even smiled or blinked” 😯 😮
“Do many poles get broke here then with fish that big ?”
“Not really” John replied.
Just then a thunderous “CRACK, BANG” went out round the lake. Mitch Auger fishing on peg 34 had broke a top kit. This was followed by Clive on peg 32 breaking a section trying to get a fish from behind the bush and to top it off Malc also broke a topkit too.
The blokes then went to the tackle table and promptly brought some stronger elastic 😀
A special mention now to Dave Webster who’s new method that had taken the the lake apart yesterday found out that it only works on peg 24 😀 He was on peg 11 today and the ‘Feederless Feeder’ had failed to produce for him. Fine tuning needed some might say 😀 😆
Dave Webster. Pioneer of the 'feederless feeder' 😀
With the match over it was clear that Malc had won with a cracking performance from peg 25. Tony was admitting to a large ton but secretly hoping for the double. On to the weigh in and the results for Saturday.

The top weights for the day were quite spread out but the lower weights were quite close. Poor Tony was just one fish away from the magical double ton but had taken the peg king title from fellow blogger Eddie Taylor-Green 😀
With most people staying at the lake everyone settled in for the night with a BBQ and beer.

Sunday
Today the draw was going to be a lot earlier to allow people that have travelled a long way to get home. Fishing today was from 11am-4pm, not normally a very productive time to fish at the lake.
After the first hour of the match it was clear that the fishing today was going to very hard indeed. The sun was blazing and the carp were cruising around the top layers of the lake not much interested in getting their heads down and feeding.
The only person heading towards a ton weight today was Chris on peg 7 fishing the feeder to the back of the lilies. Tony fishing peg 26 today was also catching quite well. Another 20lb plus carp from peg 25 today too, this time caught by Keith fishing the same lines that Malc had fished the day before.
4pm came round very quickly and people were saying their swims had just started to produce some fish. Chris had indeed caught a ton weight and was the only one today to do so.

Pre Pairs Weekend Invitational Match.6th Aug 2010
Maggotville getting warmed up *All pictures Click-able for larger view*
Dave Collier had booked the lake for a pre Maggotdrowing pairs weekend match. He invited some friends and Jinx members. This was to be a warm up match in preparation for the annual 2 day Maggotdrowning.com pairs weekend. This also allowed those attending to get their tents pitched and settled in.
The draw was at 12.30 and fishing was going to be 2.15 -7.15pm. Me, Gem and Budgie arrived late thanks to the traffic on the M40 so Pauline drew our pegs for us and what a drawing hand she has. Gem was on peg 9, I was on peg 26 and Budgie was on not so much of a good peg, Peg 40. As we arrived people were already setting up. We unloaded the car and got everything in to the tent and headed off to set up with only about 30 minutes to go before the all in was honked by Dave on his Gillette horn 😀
Geoff Palmer on peg 10 was the first person to catch a fish just a couple of minutes after the all-in. People were catching over the big lake and Dave Webster on peg 24 was on the feederless Feeder (as he call’s it) which is basically a pellet cone. He was having plenty of action and was taking an early lead in the big lake.
Clive had drawn peg 32 again after having it on the last Jinx match. He was not impressed to say the least as it was not fishing to its normal standards and he was breaking his pole in the process of getting out the carp from behind the bush.
I had been fishing the feeder for the first 15 minutes while my other lines were fed. I had not set up the pole as I had not had time. John Bennett came round and said he thought the fish would feed shallow, with that said I set up a shallow rig and had a go. It resulted in one fish a 16lb’er 🙂
At this point Dave was storming ahead in the big lake followed by Steve up the corner on peg 22. Ant Haywood over on peg 18 was also catching a few. In the little lake Malc on peg 38 was catching some big un’s and was the only person really catching. Gem was on peg 9 again and having a steady run of fish but struggling to keep the fish out of the left and right bushes.
I was fed up of watching Dave’s rod tip going round so I fed my 5 meter line and went for a walk with the camera.

Getting back to my peg I set up the rig for the 5 meter line and went in with a banded pellet, fish on right away and that was the story for the rest of the match for me. A nice steady run of fish. Like everyone else I was also suffering from loosing foul hooked fish 🙁
On the all out Hooter I thought Dave had managed the win but thought I would be close behind him. Word was the little lake had fished poorly and Malc had won that section. On to the weigh in.
Going round the lake as usual from peg 34 it was clear to see that the little lake had indeed fished hard with Malc catching the most weight with the help of some big fish which have been showing around the lake again. Everyone was eager to see what Gem had done on peg 9 as a lot of people had struggled.
Gem put 52lb on the scales, from that point on people where just hoping not to get Minxed. Ant Heywood on peg 18 put the first ton weight on the board with 109 followed by another from peg 22 fished by Steve Akal. Next was Dave ‘Feederless Feeder’ Webster on peg 24, he weighed in 136lb and was looking good for the win until we weighed in my fish, Just one fish separated us. I put 144lb on the scales to take the win for the day. I was surprised as I thought I had about 120lb but have never been good at guestimates 😀 It was a good battle Dave thank you.

Jinx Series, Match 5. 31st July 2010
Today was the penultimate Jinx League Match. Most people were already at the lake having fished the Evening match the night before. Most were in a pretty bad way due to lack of sleep and/or the amount of beer consumed.
Gem’s hat victims for the day were none other that Clive Pritchard and Ade (Slim Shady) They are also partners in the Jinx league pairs too 😀
Pairs and Hat partners, Clive and Ady
People today caught most of their fish in the final two hours of the match. Marcus Burgess (Budgie) managed his first win at the lake and his second Jinx ton also mainly fishing down the margin to his left on peg 15. Well done mate.
Peter Moreton on peg 8 had caught well but had been through the bushes more times than he would have liked loosing numerous rigs. Fred Parker fished a fine match and managed to survive the 2010 Jinx series without once getting MINXED. Everyone else fishing has been MINXED at least one time 😀 Fred will not be at the next match due to a holiday but were all sure Gem would have got you 😀
Dave Collier also managed his first ever Section win on a Jinx match, well done mate. Al Loader also managed to catch the first ever 20lb + Carp on a Jinx match with a carp weighing 20-8 from peg 23. Superb.
The Final Jinx Match for 2010 is on the 21st August and then the lake should be fishing back to normal without Malc been down the lake 😀
