Last Sunday had 11 fishing on Heron Lake, here are the results:

1. Adrian Holland Peg 10 40lb
2. Alex Bradley Peg 20 39lb 10oz
3. Jeff Thorpe Peg 13 39lb 3oz
4. Neil Hodder Peg 6 38lb 14oz

We had 11 fishing so paid top 4, and as you can see it was very close, only 1 fish the difference between 1st and 4th so a very close competitive match. Adrian fished long and short margin lines with 8mm and 6mm fishery pellets. Thanks to all who came.

On Wednesday we had a mid week match on Heron Lake,here are the results:

1. Tony Reeves 63lb 8oz Peg 10
2. Sam Morgan 53lb 12oz Peg 17
3. Neil Hodder 48lb Peg 6

8 fished and there were good weights alround, but you can tell the nights are getting colder as it fished a little bit slower than it did the previous weekend. Thanks to all who came and see you on Sunday 6th September for our next open.

At last, some decent weather for a match, here are the results:

1. Josh Anderson Peg 5 84lb 14oz (Pictured)
2. Neil Hodder Peg 15 73lb 8oz
3. Mike O’ Gorman (Bolingey) Peg 19 67lb

Josh started on a long pole and caught a few small carp but it was a bit slow, so he switched to a feeded cast to the shallow shelf around the island and started having a fish every put in, after about 2 hours the feeder line slowed up and he started fishing pellet shallow down the right hand margin and was having a fish every put in. He switched between the margins and feeder for the last hour to scoop 1st.

Well done Josh and thanks to everyone who came, our next open is Sunday 6th September, hope to see you there.

Sunday 9th August was open match day and despite the bad weather (Again!!) Heron Lake fished really well. I caught well all day and thought I had about 50lb in one net so started using a second. When I weighed in, my main carp net had 67lb in it AAARRRGGHHH!!! So I was only allowed the top limit of 55lb, adding up was never one of my strenghts, here are the results:

1. John Wykes Peg 9 77lb 2oz
2. Neil Hodder Peg 19 73lb (Should of been 85lb if I can count)
3. Les Pearce Peg 3 36lb

Well done John and thanks to all whom came. Our next open match will be a mid week one next Wednesday 19th August, peg draw 9.00am, £15 all in. Give me a call if you want to book a peg 07842 089760.
