A very hard frost and a full moon made the carp reluctant to feed for the 18 anglers fishing Sundays club match, however the small lake(section A in the winter league) produced the winner again.
1st peg 4 Mick Chapple 73lbs-8ozs.
2nd peg 18 Tony Taylor 63lbs-0ozs (who also won their overall league)
3rd peg 22 Nigel Holder 52lb-0ozs
4th peg 8 Kieron Chavda 43lbs-0ozs

A very hard match indeed, a sign of things to come for the winter league maybe ? The carp were very shy today but the silvers turned up in large numbers. I was on one of my favourite pegs, peg 26 and only had one bite before I had to leave. I Had a party to get back for but would have liked to have caught a fish before I left but I didn’t so another blank for me š
I took a few pictures before I left…

It was almost a winters day on Saturday morning, it was cold grey skies and a blustery north east to greet the 12 anglers who turned up to fish the match.
Car park bank setting up
After the usual coffee tea and doughnuts the draw was made and the match got under-way, it was soon realized that it was going to be hard work with very little activity early on, during the course of the match the wind picked up and unforcasted heavy cold rain made things even more difficult,
The match itself turned to be very tight with the top six anglers with 1fish good making the difference between 1st and 6th.
The results were,
1stĀ peg 7 Dave Whiteman 74lb-0ozs
2nd peg 14 Dave Stratful-way 62lb 12ozs
3rd peg 26 Mick Chapple 60lb-4ozs
