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.

WE HAVE HAD SOME GOOD MATCHES SEE RESULTS PAGE AND MATCH BOOKINGS ARE COMING IN FAST

22ND JANUARY 2008

WE ARE RUNNING OPEN MATCHES EVERY MONTH SO PLEASE BOOK IN NOW. THERE ARE POINTS ON EACH MATCH AND IF YOU GET ENOUGH POINTS YOU AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY FOR THE FINAL IN DECEMBER.

PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE ROUND MATCH LAKE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

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.

22/5/09

AN INTERESTING RUMOUR IS CIRCULATING THAT WE HAVE INFECTED FISH ON OUR MATCH LAKE. THIS IS UNTRUE AND IS BEING CIRCULATED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT FISHED THE LAKE!!?

SOME FISH LAST YEAR WERE CAUGHT WITH SOME PARASITES ON THEM WHICH IT NOW APPEARS WERE BLOODWORM.  THIS COULD BE ONE REASON WHY THE FISH ARE GROWING SO WELL,FIGHTING SO WELL AND THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. SICK FISH DONT FEED LIKE THIS AND DONT ALMOST DOUBLE IN SIZE IN 18 MONTHS.  THIS STORY ORIGINATED FROM SOME POOR MATCHES WHICH IT HAS TO BE SAID WAS MORE ABOUT THE STANDARD OF ANGLERS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.  WE ARE NOT AN INSTANT RESULTS LAKE-YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR'E DOING. YET FEW CLUB ANGLERS VISIT TO PRACTICE OR EVEN ASK WHAT BAITS OR METHODS ARE WORKING. I AM ALWAYS ON THE END OF THE PHONE. I HAVE WEIGHED PERSONALLY ALL THE FISH IN OUR OPENS AND NOT ONE HAS ANY PARASITES OR INJURY BAR A FEW SPAWNING GRAZES.

 IF YOU WANT TO EARN YOUR FISH AND CATCH QUALITY FISH ( WITH LIPS) FISH HERE- IF NOT FISH SOMEWHERE ELSE-SIMPLES EH!!  

WE ARE NOT INCREASING PRICES AS PLANNED FOR 2009 IN LIGHT OF THE RECESSION. WE ARE ALSO VERY COMPETETIVE ON MATCH PEG PRICES AS WELL AS FLEXIBLE IN NUMBERS AND BOOKINGS. GIVE ME A CALL. 

27/7/2009

MATCH WEIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE GOOD AND FISH ARE FEEDING WELL.

ANOTHER TON WEIGHT WON YESTERDAY

HUGE NUMBERS OF FRY ARE EVIDENT ON BOTH LAKES WHICH BODES WELL FOR THE FUTURE.

LARGE SHOALS OF GHOST CARP WERE AROUND IN THE TOP LAKE DURING SPAWNING!!

THE MATCH LAKE IS MATURING WELL AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE ENJOYING THEIR FISHING

A 17LB MIRROR WAS CAUGHT OFF THE TOP LAST WEEK AND LOTS OF DOUBLES BEING CAUGHT.

PASTE BREAD AND PELLET SEEM TO BE WORKING BUT BEWARE OF OVERFEEDING ESPECIALLY WITH FEEDER AS THE CARP SEEM TO SPOOK EASILY.

ALSO BEWARE OF WASP NEST ON PEG 43!!!!!! THEY DIDNT APPRECIATE MY STRIMMER!
