Another hard day down the lake, with cold temperatures and a gusty wind making it uncomfortable and a long five hours.

Firstly i would like to say a really big thanks to my web partner Simon for doing the majority of the web reports whilst i have been working around the country from Tonbridge to Newcastle and many places in between with very little free time and definitley no fishing time, so thanks buddy for your hard work keeping the regulars up to date.

John tells me that there were a few bites to be had and missed with a few big carp still making an appearance with todays winner Kev Doulton having two fish for 33lb and Mark on peg on peg 26 having one of 19-08 so the big fish are still happy to have a feed. Most of todays fish were caught on the pole and a couple on the tip although there were a few fish topping and giving liners but patience was the key.

Results.

John would like me to remind you that there are two opens this weekend Saturday and Sunday if you fancy catching a carp or two.

Thanks for reading Simon, Eddie and John.

1ST JOHN BENNETT 83LB-4OZS

2ND ANDY RAYMENT 20LBS-0

3RD PAUL JAY 10LB-0

We fished 2 knock up matches over the weekend , as there was a drastic shortage of anglers. What we do when there is not many anglers is we just have £15 pools and ticket and a walk off to pegs, So you have got no body to blame if you draw a bad one. It is an ideal opportuneity to fish a peg you have not drawn for a while.

John Bennett won on saturday with 63lbs and John Draper had 40lbs

Sunday Dave Whiteman on peg 16 weighed 100lbs all on the pole, Mick Chapple fished peg 22 and weighed in 70lbs-12ozs and then John Draper on peg 9 63lbs

There is an open match saturday.
