Is it really June? Fishing in the rain again!!!

Today’s match was fished on Fir Tree pond. I put in a couple of the shallow pegs today(14 & 15) which in hind sight wasn’t the best choice of pegs as most fish were caught in deeper water, but for those on a deep peg it fished well. Here are the results:

1st Tony Jose (pictured) peg 3 65lb 10oz
2nd Neil Hodder peg 11 49lb 12oz
3rd Mike O Gorman peg 7 48lb 8oz

Had a great open today fishing in beautiful, warm sunshine. The Carp we’re spawning in Heron Lake so we fished on Fir Tree Pond. Alex Bradley (Pictured) drew peg 11, he had a good moan, but I knew he would do well and although the stamp of fish he caught was small, he set a new record for the lake (That’s both lakes he now holds the record for!) Here are the results:

1st Alex Bradley Peg 11 72lb 15oz
2nd Aide Holland Peg 15 64lb 6oz
3rd Neil Hodder Peg 4 58lb 4oz and biggest fish bonus with 4lb Mirror Carp

This Sunday we held our open on Fir Tree Pond, by popular request! The carp were not really settled and fishing was tricky for some and the weather really didn’t help as it was wet nearly all day. I drew peg 7 and didn’t think it would produce, but it did! I had a good day in the margin at 13m feeding 6mm pellets and fishing 8mm pellets.

1. Neil Hodder (Pictured) Peg 7 52lb 8oz
2. Jimmy Crossley Peg 11 23lb

Thanks to everyone who came.

Our next match will be on Sunday 8th May and we will be fishing on Heron Lake! 🙂

This Sunday’s match was an individual open and a blind pair’s match. It proved to be a great day with the added fun of the pair’s. We had 15 fishing in bright sunshine but the cold northerly wind made it tricky for some. We fished 2 sections on both lakes and paid the top 2 in each section as well as the top 2 overall pair’s, which saw a good spread of the pools money, here are the results:

Fir Tree Pond:

1. Jon Wykes (Pictured) Peg 2 50lb 4oz
2. Neil Hodder Peg 14 33lb

Heron Lake

1. Tony Jose Peg 13 48lb 6oz
2. Alex Bradley Peg 2 44lb 6oz

Pair’s Results:

1. Jon Wykes & Chris Symons (Combined weight) 93lb 6oz
2. Lee Dark (had a bye) (Combined weight) 68lb 4oz

Thanks to everyone who came it was a great day and hope to see you soon.

Our next match is a 2 day festival, the first day is at Kernow on Saturday 30th and back here at Amalwhidden on Sunday 1st May. If you can’t make our 2 day event our next open will be Sunday 8th May. 🙂

Today’s match was held on Fir Tree Pond as Heron Lake was booked for a private club match. The weather was fine with good spells of sunshine, there was a chill in the northerly wind but this made little difference as there were some good weights. I put in one of the new pegs (peg 14) and although Tony Jose was sceptical it would produce he drew it and had a fish every put in. Tony was the run away winner but there was very little separating the next three, here are the results:

1. Tony Jose (Pictured top) Peg 15 63lb 14oz
2. Jimmy Crossley (Pictured bottom) Peg 11 35lb 10oz
3. Neil Hodder Peg 3 34lb 8oz
4. Aide Holland Peg 7 33lb 6oz

Tony fished and fed 6mm pellets to the island and picked up most of his catch on one line.

Well done Tony and thanks to everyone who came.

Our next open is a also a blind pairs match, if you would like to fish please book. Ring or text me 07842 089760

Thanks to everyone who came and supported our event and braved the weather, well done to all the winners. Our next match is an open on Sunday 3rd April.

On today’s open we fished on Fir Tree Pond, there was a cold easterly wind which made it tricky, the fish were looking for cover out of the wind which limited options on some pegs, here are the results:

1. Chris Bailey Peg 11 29lb 10oz
2. Chris Symons Peg 6 25lb 2oz
3. Tony Jose Peg 2 19lb 2oz

Chris drew peg 11, he fished 6mm hard pellets and fed 4mm pellets at both ends of the island.

Well done Chris, thanks to all who came.

Our next open is Sunday 13th March, hope to see you there. 🙂

Last Sunday we had our first match on Fir Tree Pond since adding new stock and removing the reeds, here are the results:

1. Tony Jose Peg 6 34lb 4oz
2. Jimmy Crossley Peg3 30lb 12oz

Tony fed micro’s and corn on a long pole line and a margin pole line fishing corn on the hook. Well done Tony and thanks to all who came.

Our next open is 28th February.

Fir Tree pond has a shallow section along one side which over the last few years has been over grown with rushes. (Below) Fish have been holding up in this area making catching in other parts of the lake more difficult.

We had a digger in to remove all the weeds, which has made a bit of a mess down the far end!! All pegs are still fishable and when banks have dried out I will be adding 2 more pegs on Fir Tree pond, this will give us a total of 15 pegs on this lake.

The next phase for Fir Tree pond is to have a new stocking of carp, not totally sure on which size we are having yet but will post on my blog page when we get them! 🙂

On Sunday 27th December we held our annual Christmas match, we had a good turn out despite the wet and windy weather we have been having lately.

1. Jimmy Crossley Peg 12 18lb 15oz
