Today saw the Jinx Squad return to the lake for their first match of the year. The Jinx Series is in it 10th year. Malc Doyle who runs the series as a bit of fun mainly and tries to make the matches more about having a laugh than big money payout. This year there are 27 angler fishing the series. Malc splits them up in to 3 section’s of 9.

Just so people don’t have too much fun and relax too much Malc’s daughter Gem fishes too. If you get beaten by her your name is added to her impressive MINX list. Not only that….. If she beats you you are eligible to be picked for the new 2011 MINX hat 🙁

For the first match Gem drew a peg from the bag and whoever drew that peg in the match would wear the hat…Simple. She pulled out peg 40 and Neil Riddy drew peg 40 so got to wear the hat. I think secretly he wanted to wear it anyway lol 😀

 

The new 2011 MINX Hat modelled by Neil Riddy, no stranger to stupid hats 😀

The draw was done almost on time, not bad for Malc really. The only reason it was nearly on time was he was at the lake having previously fished helped with the weigh in on the Night match.

On to the match. First off a major photo explosion with all the runners and riders from this years series.

The all in was sounded at 1pm and fishing got underway. I could only see the little lake today. Neil Riddy on peg 40 had landed his first carp before everyone else had finished feeding their swims and it wasn’t before Pete on peg 4 was walking past with a weigher. Mitch over on peg 34 was having a few fish too. I could not buy a bite and Malc and Ade were also the same.

Within 20 minutes I knew I was going to have a struggle along with the rest of the lads in the little lake. This was not helped by the Scream we all fear…… Gem had landed her first fish and it was a 14lb’er too.

After the first 2 hours Malc had managed to get a carp on the paste feeder so it was only me and Ade who were fishless in the little lake. I fed my lines and went to see how the big lake was doing.

It was like a different match in the big lake. There was elastic streaming from top kits and rods bent double :O 😀 (see first picture in this report) I sat behind Gem and watched in envy 🙁 Gems float sailed away and she hooked in to another fish, shame it was up the arse. After a lengthy fight she had landed another 14lb’er. Things were not looking good. Paul on 15 was also in to plenty of fish fishing the feeder, he would have had one more but was put off by my picture taking and lost the carp that would have took him over the magical 100lb…..oooops sorry mate 😀

 

Gem playing a foul hooker

Paul also playing a fish. He lost it just after I took this pic, ooops 😀

Gem 14lb'er

I went back to my peg hopeful for a fish and sure enough I hooked into and lost my first fish 🙁 Straight back out and hooked one in the gob. As I netted it I gave a loud roar in relief 😀

Malc also managed his second and last fish of the match. Mitch was catching a mixture of carp and silvers, Tony and Dave on 7 and 8 were having a few fish as there was plenty of splashing coming from that direction.

John Bennett had been away all afternoon and got back gagging for a cuppa tea so turned the generator on. Normally there is nothing wrong with doing this but unknown to John the aerators were still plugged in……………………… Malc was fishing to his aerator on peg 36 and nearly fell off his box when it fired up 😀 I didnt laugh too much. Also Dave Moore on peg 31 got a similar surprise 😀

I only caught 3 fish today but one of them made my match.

 

19lb 4oz. Thanks Tony for taking the picture.

Not long after a very excited Jon Hatch came and asked me to take a picture of his new PB carp.

 

Jon Hatch with a 18lb 12oz PB carp. Well done.

With the all out sounding at 6pm I knew I had been Minxed as gem had 5 fish to my 3. The little lake had fished poorly so we were all going to be candidates for the new hat with the exception of Mitch who managed to equal Gems weight and avoid the dreaded MINXING 😀

Great match (for some 😀 ) The next match in the series is on 4th June so Gem will have plenty of time to pick out of the 21 people who will wear the hat next year.

Well done to all the winners today, well deserved on a hard day (sulky Saturday as Malc calls it) at the lake.

Thanks for reading. Si, Eddie and John.

MOG’s Marauders Match. Sun 22nd Aug 2010

4 comments

Geoff Palmer.... MOG

A few of the Jinxsters had camped over after the BBQ so they could have a drink and travel back in the day-time. They woke up to find the car park buzzing with anglers fishing a club match at the lake. The club had turned up with half the number expected so instead of 20 anglers there were 10, they decided to fish in the big lake which left the little lake free 😐

A plan was hatched by Geoff to run a small knock-up match on the little lake with John’s permission. A few of the anglers had to get permission of their other halves 😀 With permission granted 8 angler gathered to discuss plans for the day.

We all decided not to draw pegs but just simply choose a peg that we fancied fishing. We all chose our pegs and then decided to fish from 1pm – 6pm. We paid our peg fee’s and all put £2 in the pot to give two prizes for the day, £11 for most weigh and £5 for the biggest fish.

Everyone was set up and ready but with 15 minutes to go Geoff was summoned to go and have his dinner or miss out 😀

  • Me {Simon Mound} on peg 38
  • Malc, Julie, Crystal Doyle on peg 39
  • Gem Doyle on peg 1
  • Geoff Palmer on peg 3
  • Nick Williams on peg 4
  • Marcus Burgess and Liam Doyle on peg 6
  • Dai Thomas on peg 7
  • Mat Edwards on peg 8

We gave him an extra 15 minutes to come back and then I called the all in. Budgie fishing from peg 6 had decided that he fancied doing some coaching for the day. Liam Doyle was his pupil, Liam had already had a go on my gear on peg 32 last night and caught a nice carp and was eager to continue where he left off last night.

Everyone started off fairly well catching fish apart from poor Gem fishing from peg 1. Mat on peg 8 had landed his first carp in 3 days having failed to catch one in the previous two matches. I was having a chat with John Bennett and watching the other fishing and decided to go and have a go, I fed 2 handfuls of pellets on the left hand bush on peg 38 and dropped the rig in. I had a fish on right away too followed by another. I also dropped the feeder under the bush as I fancied a go on the rod and had a few more from both the left and right bushes.

By this time Liam was shouting and had his first fish on and in the net. He was very excited to say the least 😀 Malc on peg 39 had had a few fish but he too was in coaching mode, his wife Julie was on his box and playing a fish 😯 Anyone who knows Julie will know that she does NOT do fishing and hates it…. well used too. After having a few goes over the weekend it seems she was hooked now. Julies run on his box was cut short by yet another Doyle wanting to have a go. Crystal was soon on his box and playing a fish much to the disgust of Gem who was still fishless.

Dai and Mat on pegs 7 and 8 were catching plenty of fish and Geoff was hooking lots of fish on peg 3 but was loosing them as they were foul hooked. Nick on peg 4 was playing the odd fish but seemed to be struggling. Malc had managed to get on his box and catch a few more and also went on Gems peg to catch one off her peg to prove there was some fish in there 😀 Gem did manage one of her own using the feeder rod.

In the last hour of the mini match Liam had been bagging up big time. He let out a very loud “YES” when he landed a fish that he had been playing for 15 minutes, a fish of 18lb 8oz 😯 and a new PB for him. This fish was closely followed by a 17lb  2oz fish 😯 😯 Not bad for a 7 year old.

I shouted the all out at 6-15 and Liam was jumping up and down with excitement having caught a lot of fish. Gem came round and had a go on my peg as the bush was alive with fish and was soon catching a few much needed fish 😀

We all packed up and got the weigh in done.

Weights for the day.

Name Peg Weight
Simon Mound 38 177-10
Mat Edwards 8 136-6
Dai Thomas 7 126-8
Geoff Palmer 3 102-4
Liam Doyle (aged 7) 6 90-2
Nick Williams 4 51-0
Malc Doyle 39 46-8
Crystal Doyle 39 36-0
Gem Doyle 1 14-8
Julie Doyle 39 9-4
Peg 39 Total Weight 91-0

The star of the day was Liam who has weighed a massive 90lb 2 oz on his first 5 hour match and had also shattered most people’s PB carp. Well done Liam, I think even Marcus learnt a thing or two 😀

Everyone had a great day and would like to thank John for letting us fish.

A few pictures now …

WELL DONE LIAM

Jinx Series. Final Match. 21st Aug 2010

2 comments

This was the final match of the series and things at the top of the individual and pairs league were very close. Malc Doyle, Peter Morton and Clive Pritchard were all in contention of winning the individual title. Malc and myself were in the lead with the pair results but were closely followed by Clive Pritchard and Ade Williams so it was all to play for. The final outcome was to be decided in the final match of the series.

It was going to be a tough match today as the lake had suffered from low oxygen levels and the lake was covered in fish gulping for air on the surface Saturday morning. John Bennett had the aerators running and was also pumping water in to the lake to get some oxygen back in the water from 7am to just before the start of the match.

The draw today was at 11.30am with fishing from 1.30 – 6-30. As this was the last match some of the lads had brought along their better halves to attend the BBQ after the match. Some of the Jinxsters had fished the night match and had camped over at the lake ready for the last Jinx Match. Soon the car park was full of the rest of the Jinxsters and the draw was made.

Fishing today was similar to last night with a lot of people catching early on and then struggling for the rest of the match. The wind was very strong today blowing through from the big lake to the little lake.

Not many pictures today as everyone was too busy trying to catch a fish. Peter Morton supplied a few pictures, thanks Peter.

Which resulted in a PB 4lb Chub

Down in the little lake Terry and Marcus were having their own little match fish from pegs 40 and 2. Marcus was leading the way until half an hour to go then Terry pulled out 3 weighers one after another to take the win from Marcus and overall match win too. Well done Terry.

Round the big lake it was all hit and miss. I had had a steady run of fish from the bush on peg 32 and then had no bites for an hour. Dave Moore fishing peg 9 had changed his normal paste tactics to fish for bream and while it worked for a while those pesky carp moved in and he was soon putting a few more fish in the net. Clive and Malc were having another little battle and it was a close one too with Malc just pipping Clive at the end.

With the match over we got the weigh in done quickly to give people more time at the BBQ and it became clear just how hard it had fished. The winner today was Terry and this was his first ever Match win so a Big well done to Terry 🙂

Malc had again run an excellent series. I think the final match left everyone hungry for next year. Well done Malc. 😀 Well done to all the Jinxster for all the PB’s and Banter and making the series a great one to fish.

Some of the Jinxsters stayed over so they could have a drink at the BBQ and also travel back home the following day but there was a surprise in store when they woke up Sunday morning. More to come later…..

Jinx Series, Match 5. 31st July 2010

3 comments

Today was the penultimate Jinx League Match. Most people were already at the lake having fished the Evening match the night before. Most were in a pretty bad way due to lack of sleep and/or the amount of beer consumed.

Gem’s hat victims for the day were none other that Clive Pritchard and Ade (Slim Shady) They are also partners in the Jinx league pairs too 😀

Pairs and Hat partners, Clive and Ady

People today caught most of their fish in the final two hours of the match. Marcus Burgess (Budgie) managed his first win at the lake and his second Jinx ton also mainly fishing down the margin to his left on peg 15. Well done mate.

Peter Moreton on peg 8 had caught well but had been through the bushes more times than he would have liked loosing numerous rigs. Fred Parker fished a fine match and managed to survive the 2010 Jinx series without once getting MINXED. Everyone else fishing has been MINXED at least one time 😀 Fred will not be at the next match due to a holiday but were all sure Gem would have got you 😀

Dave Collier also managed his first ever Section win on a Jinx match, well done mate. Al Loader also managed to catch the first ever 20lb + Carp on a Jinx match with a carp weighing 20-8 from peg 23. Superb.

The Final Jinx Match for 2010 is on the 21st August and then the lake should be fishing back to normal without Malc been down the lake 😀
