A very tough day down the lake

Today saw 7 anglers down the lake on a sunny mild day which was a bit of a suprise as it was probably the best weekend to date this year. The lake has currently been suffering with increased cold water covering the platforms and John and Pauline have been working very hard trying keeping the lake at a reasonable level. With the water being quite cold at the moment it seems it is affecting the carp into not feeding in any numbers at the moment and the lake was motionless during the match with no signs of carp in the big lake except for Kev Dolton who managed to catch the only carp of the day from peg 13 by fishing into the bay near peg 11.

The winner today was lake owner John Bennett who after searching for carp by fishing the bomb and corn then decided to fish for silvers and was rewarded with roach and at least 5 big perch to nealy 2lb plus a bream in his hard earned weight of 20-01 and well clear of the chasing pack. The race for second was won by Kev Dolton who managed a late carp to keep him just ahead of Doug Robinson with his weight of 13-12 to Dougs 13-01.

With the Easter festival fast approaching we expect the carp to switch on in the next couple of weeks as the weather is due to be more settled and the club match that was held on Sunday was won with 40lb plus and there were carp caught by a few of the anglers so things are starting to look up.

The festival places are now full with John now adding names to the reserve list so please can the remaining anglers that have booked please confirm your places in the next week or so { thank you }.
