Gary Horne Invitational Match. 12th May 2012

May 15, 2012 Simon Leave a comment

Gary Horne, fresh from Egypt.

Gary Horne has 2 matches a year down the lake and today was the first one. 23 of Gary’s friends turned up at the lake hoping for a few fish. The weather at the start of the match was quite sunny but rain was forecast for later in the day.

A nice start to the day

Dive in quick ...

Nick Horne does not fish the lake very often but always seems to draw peg 18 or 32. Guess where he was today….

Nick on peg 32 again 😀

The fishing today was very patchy, people would have a few fish and then have to wait ages for a bite. It was hard to put a good run of fish together. People were having to swap and change swims to get the fish. While the sun was out the top end of the big lake was black with cruising and topping fish. Steve on peg 34 was the only person catching steadily through the match.

20 minutes before the end of the match we had a storm hit the lake. The wind picked up and it rained very heavily. Everyone and everything was soaked, it lasted about 30 minute and then the sun came back up and the lake went flat calm in time for the weigh in…bloody typical.

Hazy Morning at the lake

Gary Horne had his annual match at the lake today. With only 17 fishing it should have made for some good angling as everyone had plenty of room but the carp had other ideas.

Quick coffee before the draw

Very hot day and no wind

Fishing today was from 12 till 5pm. 2 hours in to the match and most people had not had a carp or even a bite. The sun was blazing down on the lake. When the sun went off the water on the car park bank peg they started having a few.

Hard going on the carpark bank

Pegs 14 and 16 were having a few fish in the big lake but it was a different story in the little lake. Rock hard with everyone struggling and a few people targeting the silvers to try and win the top silvers weight.

I had to wait till the last hour to get my first carp bite from peg 9, Just as the sun went off the water behind the big poplar tree. The fish were lined up and I starting catching one a chuck but foul hookers were causing a few problems.

My first fish went 18lb-4oz. Good start 😀

Gary on peg 38 had not hooked a carp so instead started catching small roach from the end of his keepnet on his topkit. He finished with 100 roach for 11lb-4oz to take the top silvers weight on the day.
