Club Match Report

Sunday 18th April 2004

The second match of the series was contested on April 18th at Saltfleetby Fisheries.

Twenty members turned out and braved the elements on what turned out to be a very wet windy day. Continuing his winning streak was Jason Adlam (peg 25) who had a net of bream on the pole for 15lb 4oz, and maximum points for the second club match in a row. Battling it out for second place was Trev Pidcock (peg 11) and Barry Brown (peg 7) who were both catching small carp on the pole, and seemed to be matching each other fish for fish, but the scales proved Barry had more fish with a weight of 12lb 4oz to Trevs’  10lb 4oz, for second and third place respectively. Dave Ross (peg 5) is proving to be consistent, finishing with 7lb of feeder fished carp for fourth spot again; maybe the pressure of drawing the golden peg was too much for Dave!

 Ian Leggett (peg 17) had a few carp for 4lb 8oz, and Len Lovesey (peg 3) was ruing losing at least three bream on the pole, finishing sixth for the second week running with 4lb 4oz.  All competitors battled well, and stuck it out to the end under pretty adverse conditions for the time of year!

As the weather seems to be getting warmer, the pole seems to be overtaking the feeder as the best method on this lake at the complex.

 Thirteen members troubled the scales, although eighteen competitors caught. Competitors are reminded it’s in your best interests to weigh in anything you catch, as any points you get go toward the final total, where there is a cup for first, second, and third places. Only your top fifteen recorded results from twenty, will count toward your final points totals, so please remember to weigh in.

Next club match is on May 2nd again on the Island Pond. Draw 8am, fish 9am-2pm.
