Club Match Report

Sunday 30th May 2004

Round six of the Saltfleetby Fisheries Club series on Sunday 3oth was in the main pond. After a period of warm settled weather, it was drizzly and breezy for the anglers.

Some anglers are finding it hard coming to grips with the “revamped” pond, as it is now a lot deeper than it was before. Fish are coming to those who make the best of their pegs though, and making the pest this week was Rich West (peg 7), who had just over thirty pound for fist place. Rich pushed Chris Johnson (peg 4) into second place, with a last minute carp of 8lb. Chris had to settle with second place with 26lb 10oz. On his “hat-trick” was Trevor Pidcock (peg 14), who was left third after returning 25lb 10oz. Dave Ross (peg 17) was fourth for the fourth time in 6 matches with 19lb 10oz. Dave also had a bonus big fish right near the end in the form of a 6lb carp, this pushed Jason Adlam (peg 1) into fifth, who bought 14lb 4oz to the scales. Fishery owner Chris, witnessed Jason hook, and play a carp for well over 30 minutes, only for the hook length to break as the fish was being bought to the net. The estimated weight of that one fish would have doubled his final weight! Neil Brown had plenty of small fish for 9lb 4oz and sixth spot.

Next club match is on June 6^th, again on the main pond. Draw 8am, fish 9am-2pm.
