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:
- Jon Wykes (Pictured) Peg 2 50lb 4oz
- Neil Hodder Peg 14 33lb
Heron Lake
- Tony Jose Peg 13 48lb 6oz
- Alex Bradley Peg 2 44lb 6oz
Pair’s Results:

Today was a bit windy and also started off wet but soon cleared to be a bright and breezy spring day. We had 5 fishing and pegged Heron Lake so that everyone had a nice feeder chuck. The match ended up very close between Jimmy and I, here are the results:
- Neil Hodder (Pictured Top) Peg 9 50lb 4oz
- Jimmy Crossley (Pictured Bottom) Peg 15 50lb 2oz
I started off fishing a short pole line with no joy and was sat watching Jimmy catching. I switched to the pellet feeder and caught a few carp and skimmers to the far bank. I fed the margin to my left with 6mm pellets whilst fishing the feeder and had a look after 30 mins. I caught a good stamp of carp from this margin through out the day and switched between the two methods.
Thanks to everyone who came.
Our next match is 10th April 2016

We had 6 brave the weather (can’t wait for weather to improve!!) in the section here at Amalwhidden, here are the results:
- Neil Hodder Peg 2 21lb 10oz
- Paul Glandville Peg 9 18lb 10oz
- Les Pearce Peg 5 18lb 8oz
I started off on a short pole line with sweetcorn and micros and started well with a few carp, this line quickly went quiet so I switched to the feeder and caught a couple of carp on hair rigged corn. From then on it was a struggle as the weather worsened, the margins didn’t produce a single fish and finished off the last hour catching on the feeder with dead reds.
Our next match is an open on Sunday 14th February, hope to see you there. ๐

We had 5 brave the weather on today’s open, here are the results:
- Neil Hodder Peg 9 29lb 2oz
- Aide Holland Peg 7 20lb 4oz
I started fishing the margin with micro’s and dead reads and picked up a carp and some roach which then went quiet. I struggled for bites for the next 2 hours until I started loose feeding corn on a short line and started catching straight away. I loose feed corn for the rest of the match and picked up a nice mix of carp, skimmers, roach and crucians on various lines.
Thanks to all who came, our next open is 14th February.
