A very cold day down the lake.

Today there were 6 anglers fishing the match and 4 pleasure anglers in the small lake so at least everyone had a little space, but for the three luck anglers on the car park bank { Pete, John and me } it was very cold.

The match started off very slow with the odd few silvers coming out and with Pete on peg 24 foulhooking a carp in the tail and losing it there was not much going on in the first hour. It was at this point that Pete decided to start catching silvers and was catching roach every put in but this changed when I on peg 22 caught a carp fishing 12 metres fishing corn hook bait and this put me in front. After that all of the 6 anglers went long and were rewarded with carp even though it was not frantic by any stretch even with the carp cruising on the surface playing hard to catch.

Todays winner was Pete Archer on peg 24 who started on the tip with no success apart from a lost carp, but after that caught a mixed bag of 10lb of silvers caught in about an hour and 5 carp . Pete fished long about 14 metres into the middle of the lake and was feeding 2mm pellet and the odd grain of corn fishing on the deck to catch his carp and after a patient 5 hours was rewarded with his weight of 56-14 for another win { well done Pete }.

Firstly we would like to again wish all our friends, customers and their families a happy New Year.

Today match was poorly attended due to the cold weather and high water levels in the lake { at least two feet higher } which John has been doing his best to pump out to reduce the water level.

Todays winner was me { Eddie Taylor-Green } who fished peg 13 on the motorway bank using a 3 metre whip fished tight to the edge using triple maggot as hookbait to catch a mixed bag of silvers for 11-05. In second place was Nick Watkins-Price who was fishing peg 28 on the car park bank and by using pole and maggot Nick also caught some nice big Perch and roach for his weight of 9-12.
