Today was the 4th round of our winter league and with all yesterday’s rain and a frosty, still, bright, day today I knew it would be hard. I framed for the first time in this winter league narrowly beating Mike Collinge by 2oz, for second (sorry mate)! Here are the results:

Heron Lake

1st Chris Symons peg 9 39lb 10oz
2nd Neil Hodder peg 20 16lb 13oz
3rd Mike Collinge peg 5 16lb 11oz

We had a walk off for today’s match on Heron lake. Tony drew 1 and headed straight to 19! With the wind blowing in that way and that peg not being used recently we all knew it would produce! Tony weighed in 70lb 12oz for first and Adrian Holland was 2nd from 18 with 35lb 12oz.
Tony fished bread on the bomb and corn long down the right hand margin, well done mate.
Thanks to everyone who braved the cold easterly wind and well done Tony.

We had our third league match yesterday and after a slow start it picked up towards the end, for some! After the first hour and a half and no fish I went and watched my son play football for a couple of hours and some how fluked 5th in my section!! Here are the results:

Heron Lake
1st Roger Baker peg 20 32lb 14oz
2nd Alex Bradley peg 16 30lb 5oz
3rd Paul Glanville peg 3 27lb 25ox

Sunday 20th was the second round of our winter league here at Amalwhidden. It was a good close match and both lakes fished well considering all the over night rain, here are the results:

Fir tree pond:
1st Tony Jose peg 8 41lb 14oz
2nd Adrian Holland peg 12 35lb 10oz
3rd Alex Bradley peg 3 33lb

Today’s open was fished on Heron Lake. It really felt like winter and it fished like it too! A cold northerly wind and lots of rain made the going hard, here are the results:

1st Tony Jose peg 3 42lb 7oz
2nd Ricky Dennis peg 18 17lb 1oz

We had the first match in our winter league today and with 16 fishing we pegged 8 on each lake as 2 sections and paid the top 3 on each. It was a pretty good day and some decent weights were had especially on Heron Lake. Here are the results:

Fir tree pond:
1st Ricky Dennis peg 8 39lb 12oz
2nd Roger Baker peg 12 30 lb 7oz
3rd Bob Dac peg 9 29lb 14oz

Sunday’s match saw 9 brave the strong easterly wind, in what turned out to be another close match on Heron lake, here are the results:

1st Alex Bradley peg 18 65lb
2nd Adrian Holland peg 20 60lb 8oz
3rd Roger Baker peg 5 33lb 12oz
4th John Maundrell peg 11 33lb 8oz

Today’s match was fished in beautiful autumnal sunshine on Heron Lake and not a bad day all round, everyone caught well and enjoyed their days fishing. Here are the results:

1st Tony Jose peg 9 70lb 12oz
2nd John Maundrill peg 5 57lb
3rd Lee Dark peg 20 49lb 8oz
4th Adrian Holland peg 18 47lb 14oz

We held another mid week match on Wednesday. We had 10 turn up and I pegged everyone on Heron Lake. The going was a bit tough due to the strong south easterly wind but some decent weights were had and with only 12oz’s separating the top 2 it was a close match:

1st Alex Bradley peg 9 55lb
2nd Ricky Dennis peg 15 49lb 4oz
3rd Paul Dench peg 5 32lb 2oz
4th Jon Wykes peg 19 31lb 6oz
