Right hand margin looking very fishy…….

This weekend was our 2 day festival and I think the weather had a big part to play. Saturday was very windy making presentation difficult for most, whilst Sunday was still, warm and sunny which definitely helped. Some decent weights were had both days, but the result of the weekend had to be Alex Bradley’s new lake record on Fir Tree of 79lb 2oz, who also fished a faultless 2 days. Here are the results:

Saturday

Fir Tree
1st Christopher Symons peg 7 31lb 9oz
2nd Neil Hodder peg 10 21lb 12oz 
Heron lake 
1st Alex Bradley peg 2 74lb 1oz
2nd Adrian Holland peg 19 55lb 3oz

Despite a wet and windy day we had 10 brave the weather and we fished on Fir Tree pond, but the going was tough. Presentation was difficult in the breezy, southerly wind and the rain all day didn’t help. On a plus note there was another £10 added to the golden peg pot which Roger Baker drew and he literally ran there, but the curse of the golden peg followed him and £68 rolls over to next Sunday. Sadly no photos today as my phone wouldn’t work in the wet, here are the results:

Today we had 2 matches running. The Culdrose lads were fishing on Heron lake and had a good day, with some decent weights had. We ran our open on Fir tree and it was a hard day. After 2 days of heavy rain the water was cooler and the fish were not settling. John “The Venue Expert” Maundrill was top weight, a relieved Roger Baker just squeaked a third by 4oz and Paul Glanville had the curse of the golden peg, again! Although weights were a bit down it was very close:

Fir tree pond 
1st John Maundrill peg 15 37lb 7oz 
2nd Tony Jose peg 8 25lb 12oz 
3rd Roger Baker peg 5 25lb 2oz 
4th Neil Hodder peg 12 24lb 14oz

We had a decent turnout for today’s match on Fir tree pond. Peg 14 was drawn as the golden peg. This was the second week of running the golden peg and on both occasions neither anglers have weighed……. so already we have £18 in the pot!!! 
I sat opposite an inform Chris Symons who caught steady all day, even though they were small fish. Nigel Taylor was sat behind me and although he had less fish he was having a better stamp and everyone thought he had won, which was why I didn’t take a picture of Chris, sorry mate. 1lb 11oz seperated the top 2 and only 4oz separated 3rd and 4th so a nice close match:

Bit of a low turn out for today’s match but a very close result on Fir tree pond. Chris Symons and Nigel Taylor both weighed 39lb 14oz in there first nets and it came down to there silver’s nets to decide the winner, here are the results:

1st Chris Symons peg 2 55lb 14oz 
2nd Nigel Taylor peg 15 53lb 7oz 
3rd Adrian Holland 28lb 10oz

Today’s open was fished on Fir tree pond and with a few of the regulars away we had a walk off for a change. Adrian Holland drew 1 and went straight to peg 2 which of late has been an inform peg, but with a strong warm wind blowing over his head into peg 7 the better stamp of fish followed the wind where the venue expert had decided to sit. Here are the results:

1st John Maundrell peg 7 43lb 3oz
2nd Alex Bradley peg 9 33lb 14oz
3rd Adrian Holland peg 2 30lb 10oz

Today’s match was fished on Fir tree pond today. To say that some one was unhappy with their draw is an understatement but as it was peg 5 and on the way towards peg 9 he managed to find his way there! Nice to see some old faces here today and hope you enjoyed yourselves. Fishing was best through the morning before the rain and the venue expert lived up to his name, here are the results:

1st John Maundrill peg 2 51lb 3oz
2nd Andy Partridge peg 8 44lb 14oz
3rd Roger Baker peg 10 40lb 4oz

Today’s match was fished on Fir tree pond. We had a decent turn out in the warm spring sunshine but after a week of topping up the lake with fresh water it slowed things up a bit but it was very tight between the top two, here are the results:
1st John Maundrill peg 2 34lb 14oz
2nd Tony Jose peg 15 33lb 3oz
3rd Roger Baker peg 10 23lb 6oz

Today was the final round of our winter league. On heron lake Ricky Dennis and Alex Bradley were both fishing for 1st place overall. Ricky drew peg 11 which didn’t produce the last time he had it and with Alex on peg 9, a peg that usually produces for him the pressure was on! The section on Fir tree pond saw Tony Jose and Roger Baker fishing for 3rd overall and this was really close and came down to weight overall. Good close weights on both lakes today, Here are the results:
