5th June 2007
apart from being totally shattered from all the preparation for the charity day i am very pleased with the launch of the new match lake and the feedback about the match has been excellent.
1780lb of carp were caught by 46 anglers on the new lake averaging 38lb each not bad for its first ever outing.
we also managed to raise £200 for the SEVERN DEAN LIONS WHO SPONSORED THE TROPHIES. THE LIONS RAISE MONEY FOR LOTS OF CAUSES AND PUT ALOT BACK INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
I WAS ALSO VERY WELL SUPPORTED ON THE DAY BY ROB ENGLAND OF YOUTH ANGLING PROJECT AND HOPE TO WORK WITH HIM AGAIN SOON.
STEVE EVANS THE INDIVIDUAL WINNER HAS ALSO KINDLY OFFERED TO DONATE HIS SEASON TICKET PRIZE TO A CHARITY AUCTION BY THE ANGLING TIMES FOR DISABLED ANGLERS.

22/2/08
WE HAVE HAD A VERY POOR RESPONSE TO OUR FIRST TWO OPENS DESPITE THE LAKE FISHING WELL
WE ARE CONSIDERING PUTTING MATCHES ON A SUNDAY ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I PERSONALLY CAUGHT 81LB ON THE WAGGLER ON THE MATCH LAKE LAST SATURDAY ON DOUBLE RED MAGGOT SO THE FISH ARE THERE TO BE CAUGHT.
WE HAD A LOT OF VISITORS ON SUNDAY 17TH. IBSTOCK HAD A MATCH. THEN TWO OTHER CLUBS TURNED UP AS THE WATERS THEY WERE DUE TO FISH FROZE OVER!!
ALTHOUGH WE HAD SOME ICE ON THE ENDS OF THE MATCH LAKE ALL 35 ANGLERS MANAGED TO FISH ALTHOUGH IT WAS HARD WORK AND MANY HAD NO BITES. THE WINNING WEIGHT FOR BREAKING STONES WAS STILL 35 LB AND I HAVENT HAD THE RESULT FOR IBSTOCK AC.
THE TOP LAKE DID NOT FREEZE AT ALL AND SOME CARP ANGLERS CAUGHT DOUBLES THAT DAY.
YESTERDAY THE WEATHER WAS MILDER AND ANGLERS WERE GETTING BITES AND FISH ON THE CARP PARK STRETCH OF THE MATCH LAKE ON THE POLE IN THE MIDDLE?! AGAIN ON MAGGOT.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE THE OPENS WE ARE RUNNING AS WE NEED TO KNOW NUMBERS FOR MARCHAND IF YOU THINK SAT OR SUNDAY WOULD BE BETTER.
