Club Match Report

Sunday 1st August 2004

Sunday August 1^st was round 15 of the Saltfleetby Fisheries Club matches, in the island pond. Again this was quite poorly attended by “members”. If attendances to these club matches do not improve by members for the remaining last five matches, then the membership will be reviewed for the ’05 season. There were a few guests fishing which boosted numbers to fifteen pegs, and for the last five matches there should be a few spare pegs. For those that want an invite to “guest” in a friendly match with a good atmosphere then give Chris a ring at the fishery for details.

Four anglers thought they may have done enough to stop the “Trevor Express”. Dave Spence on peg 18 had a good few carp in the latter part of the match (on “orange meat”!) to end up with 20lb 2oz. Rich West had a few more fish, mainly carp and a couple of bream on peg 22 and finished with 21lb 10oz. Jason Adlam did better again with an all carp bag for 24lb 10oz from peg 20. But in the end they were all left wanting when Trevor was last to the scales with 33lb 10oz of carp and bream. Trevor fished his paste on peg 25 for win number 8.  Jason and Trevor were matched all match virtually fish for fish, but Trevor’s were of a better stamp, and the “express” keeps rolling! Elsewhere regular guest Ian Linnet drew the in form peg 17, which was also golden peg, but the pressure was too much and he could only manage 17lb 12oz and a headache! Floating pole specialist Chris Johnson had 8lb from peg 10 on his favoured method, but was left cursing the lack of breeze and sun for most of the match. Dave Ross couldn’t repeat his winning performance of last week, but showed the importance of weighing in when he took one solitary roach to the scales for 2oz and 20 pts from a possible 30.

Next club match is on August 6th, on the main pond. Draw 4-00pm, fish 4-30pm-9pm.
