Land of the Giants in today’s match.

Today’s midweek match saw another collection of specimen size fish caught upto 22lb but also many over 14lb.

Todays winner and lake regular was (Top Tackle’s) Gordon Worrell who was fishing peg 16 on the motorway bank.

Gordon fished a combination of corn and pellet to catch his 10 carp and fished straight out and on the deck for his weight of 92lb

In second place was me Eddie and I fished the Bush to my left on peg 8 called the jungle and managed to catch 6 carp for 82 and a new PB common of 22lb.

I fished micro pellet and SoSimple GRP paste also feeding corn.

In third place was Mick Chappell who was very close and again caught big carp for his weight of 77lb.

When the weather becomes a bit more stable I expect the weights to rocket over 200lb as these fish are certainly big in this lake.

A challenging day down the lake.

Today saw another well attended match with some anglers looking to get some pre Easter Festival practise.

The previous night saw a hard frost which shut down the carp from feeding in the deeper part of the main lake whilst the anglers in the small lake managed to catch a few carp.

Today’s winner was Mark Newbold who was fish peg 5 in the small lake.

Mark fed quite negatively to catch his carp today using a pinch of micro as feed and a pellet hookbait  to catch 7 carp and 3 bream for his weight of 78-12.

In second place was Kev Simpson who was fishing peg 14 in the big lake. Kev caught a mixed bag of silvers and carp for his weight of 65-14 and just 1 big carp off winning.

Completing the frame was me Eddie on fridge peg 40 at the back of the small lake.

After a slow start I managed toget a few bites on paste (about 20) catching 5 and a few bits losing 8 for my weight of 47-08.

Top silvers weight today was Dave Currell with 9-03 off peg 16.
