Jinx Series. Final Match. 21st Aug 2010

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…..

Friday Night Match. 20th August 2010

Another Night match at the lake saw a very good turnout. 26 anglers turned up hoping to have a few fish.

At the start of the match most people seemed to be in to fish right away. I had 2 carp in the first 5 minutes as did most of the other anglers but then the whole lake switched off. Only a few anglers managed to catch for the rest of the match.

Neil Riddy fishing from peg 6 was catching some big lumps including a 18-10 mirror and a 17-4 common, these helped him to win his second consecutive match at the lake. He also broke his PB carp too. Well done to Neil. He did not need help from his mom in this match though 😀 😛

John Hauge fishing from peg 34 also managed to catch a few.

On the Saturday morning the top layer of water in the lake was covered with fish gulping for air and John thinks the reason this match so poorly was due to low oxygen levels in the lake.

A bit of bad news as far as the results go because they got blown away or lost so I only have a few results. If anyone else knows any of the missing information then please email, comment or use the contact and send me them please. Neil Riddy kindly supplied the below information, thank you. 🙂

Wednesday Open. 10th Aug 2010

13 anglers turned up today to fish the open match along with 9 Pleasure anglers which included some lads all the way from Lancashire 😯

The weather today at the lake started of bright and sunny but soon went overcast with no wind on the lake.

It seems the fish are on the move round the little lake again with pegs 4,6,7 and 8 all doing well today. Derek Hammond on peg 6 was fishing short on the corn to put together and amazing 273lb which was also good enough to take the Peg King title off Mick Jones.

Also in the frame was Pat Pritchard fishing from peg 4, he managed to put 230lb on the scales and put his last match behind him 😀 Completing the frame was Kevin Arathoom fishing from peg 8 who put 166lb on the scales.

For the rest of the anglers fishing the match the fishing was very patchy and bites were hard to come by.

The pleasure anglers were having a good time and John hopes you made it home ok and enjoyed your time at the lake.

On to the results….

Maggotdrowning.com Pairs Weekend. 7th, 8th Aug 2010

Red Leader, Match organiser and Maggotdrowing.com owner. Dave Webster

The weekend had arrived for the annual maggotdrowing.com pairs match. Forum members from the site do battle for bragging rights and a nice trophy for the cabinet. Trophies for this years match were organised by Peter Morton as Dave was having problems getting hold of them.

The Trophies for the lucky winners

Some of the anglers were already at the lake having fished the match yesterday but it wasn’t long before everyone arrived for the draw. Fishing today was from 2pm-7pm

People arriving for the Draw

Saturday

While people were setting up Crystal and Liam  Doyle went round and collected people’s guesses on ‘Guess the Weight’ competition.

Liam and Crystal

The fishing today was quite patchy with people catching fish but certain pegs were doing better than others. Malc Doyle in the big lake on peg 25 was catching plenty of fish and making regular trips to the weight station fishing short. I was having regular fish fishing the feeder and short pole lines from peg 17. Steve Wilson on peg 29 was putting a few fish together also. Steve Akal fishing peg 20 was doing a fine job of taking the peg king title.

Down in the little lake only 2 pegs were heading towards a ton weight today. Tony Roberts on peg 3 was blasting past Eddies peg king weight and heading towards a double ton and Jon Hatch on peg 39 was nearing the ton but it was to be some silver fish that made it possible 😀

Nearly a Double but still a new Peg King. Tony Roberts

Jon Hatch on peg 39, praise to the silvers

Clive Pritchard looks to be camped on peg 32 😀

Two club angler appeared at the lake in preparation of their match to have a look round. They arrived just as Steve Wilson was weighing in a 21lb carp. They went over to have a look and were astounded with the size of the fish. They went back over to John and said..

“That bloke just had a 21lb’er and never even smiled or blinked” 😯 😮

“Do many poles get broke here then with fish that big ?”

“Not really” John replied.

Just then a thunderous “CRACK, BANG” went out round the lake. Mitch Auger fishing on peg 34 had broke a top kit. This was followed by Clive on peg 32 breaking a section trying to get a fish from behind the bush and to top it off Malc also broke a topkit too.

The blokes then went to the tackle table and promptly brought some stronger elastic 😀

A special mention now to Dave Webster who’s new method that had taken the the lake apart yesterday found out that it only works on peg 24 😀 He was on peg 11 today and the ‘Feederless Feeder’ had failed to produce for him. Fine tuning needed some might say 😀 😆

Dave Webster. Pioneer of the 'feederless feeder' 😀

With the match over it was clear that Malc had won with a cracking performance from peg 25. Tony was admitting to a large ton but secretly hoping for the double. On to the weigh in and the results for Saturday.

The top weights for the day were quite spread out but the lower weights were quite close. Poor Tony was just one fish away from the magical double ton but had taken the peg king title from fellow blogger Eddie Taylor-Green 😀

With most people staying at the lake everyone settled in for the night with a BBQ and beer.

Sunday

Today the draw was going to be a lot earlier to allow people that have travelled a long way to get home. Fishing today was from 11am-4pm, not normally a very productive time to fish at the lake.

After the first hour of the match it was clear that the fishing today was going to very hard indeed. The sun was blazing and the carp were cruising around the top layers of the lake not much interested in getting their heads down and feeding.

The only person heading towards a ton weight today was Chris on peg 7 fishing the feeder to the back of the lilies. Tony fishing peg 26 today was also catching quite well. Another 20lb plus carp from peg 25 today too, this time caught by Keith fishing the same lines that Malc had fished the day before.

4pm came round very quickly and people were saying their swims had just started to produce some fish. Chris had indeed caught a ton weight and was the only one today to do so.
