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 }.
Todays winner Mick Jones.
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.

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.
Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie
