Spring league 2010. Round 1.

14th February 2010

Today saw the delayed start to the spring league teams of three round one , and missing from this series were Rolfs Team Gold but who were replaced in the series by a new team called the Swindon Bandits.

The reason the league was delayed was to give the lake a proper chance to recover from the extreme cold weather that had been with us since before Christmas. With only 4 teams entered it was decided to fish only the big lake as so keep the anglers together and if they did not catch at least they would have someone to talk to. The weather was sunny with a cold northerly wind which was not going to help the anglers catch a carp but the silvers should respond so at least there should be a few bites for everyone.

At the end of five hours John Bennett told me that most of the fish were down the bottom of the lake ,towards peg 19 and 20 so Derek Hammond who was on peg 22 was always in with a chance of having a few and after losing a few Derek had 5 carp for a winning 45-07  {well done Derek}. The top silver weight on the day was a fantastic 21-04 from the Swindon Mafia’s Phil Powell who was kept busy with plenty of  bite.

The next round is on Sunday the 28th so the anglers are hopeful the carp will continue to bite but if not there are lots of silver fish to be caught.
