Friday Night Match. 20th August 2010
Another Night match at the lake saw a very good turnout. 26 anglers turned up hoping to have a few fish.
At the start of the match most people seemed to be in to fish right away. I had 2 carp in the first 5 minutes as did most of the other anglers but then the whole lake switched off. Only a few anglers managed to catch for the rest of the match.
Neil Riddy fishing from peg 6 was catching some big lumps including a 18-10 mirror and a 17-4 common, these helped him to win his second consecutive match at the lake. He also broke his PB carp too. Well done to Neil. He did not need help from his mom in this match though 😀 😛
John Hauge fishing from peg 34 also managed to catch a few.
On the Saturday morning the top layer of water in the lake was covered with fish gulping for air and John thinks the reason this match so poorly was due to low oxygen levels in the lake.
A bit of bad news as far as the results go because they got blown away or lost so I only have a few results. If anyone else knows any of the missing information then please email, comment or use the contact and send me them please. Neil Riddy kindly supplied the below information, thank you. 🙂

Match Winner Neil Riddy on a slightly colder day at the lake.
Well done Neil.
A fine pair of lumps, and I’m not talking about yer Tummy this week!
Good result Neil on what was a very hard night for most of us, but a good laugh with plenty of banter as always thanks to Chris and Si.
