We had a good number fishing today’s open and pegged both lakes. The warm autumn sunshine certainly helped as some decent weights were had especially on Heron Lake, here are the results:

Heron Lake
1st John Maundrell peg 3 127lb 5oz
2nd Tony Jose peg 9 112lb 2oz
3rd Chris Symons peg 5 61lb 3oz

We had a mid week open match today for the first time in awhile and after the way Heron Lake fished at the weekend I was expecting some good weights but the fish had other ideas! We ran a silver’s pools along side the usual overall pools, here are the results:

Silver’s:
1st Mike Collinge Peg 19 18lb 1oz
2nd Neil Hodder Peg 1 7lb 14oz

Adrian Holland set a new venue record in today’s open fished on Heron Lake. Aide drew peg 3 and fished 8mm pellets for a stunning 134lb 4oz. Unfortunately for Aide as I wasn’t there so the £100 bonus is still up for grabs! Venue expert John Maundrell was second with 76lb 4oz from peg 9 and Tony Jose was third from peg 5 with 63lb 12oz. Well done Aide and a big thanks to Tony Jose for running the match in my absence.
There will be a mid week match this week on Wednesday, if you would like to fish please let me know.

The first day of the 2 dayer between Amalwhidden and kernow was fished here on Heron Lake. We are running individual’s and pair’s and the windy warm conditions really stirred things up and it fished well, here are the results:

Section 1
1st Neil Hodder peg 6 101lb
2nd Chris Noble peg 1 52lb 3oz
3rd Pete Nobel peg 3 40lb

Today’s open was fished on Heron Lake and as some unfancied pegs were in the mix last week I put in pegs that don’t usually get used and after a slow start it fished well despite the gusty conditions.

1st Adrian Holland peg 14 65lb 6oz and biggest fish 11lb 10oz (Pictured)
2nd Tony Jose peg 16 62lb (Pictured)
3rd John Maundrell peg 18 46lb

Today’s open was fished on Heron Lake and it was a close one! We had 10 fishing so paid top three overall and two section winners, but couldn’t quite believe that the top three weights came from three pegs that were not favoured!

1st Bob Dac peg 11 54lb 2oz
2nd Boz Philips peg 20 48lb 8oz (Pictured)
3rd Alex Bradley peg 13 48lb

The Saturday Boy’s had a match on Heron Lake on Saturday 27th August. Paul Dench (pictured) was the runaway winner with 70lb 12oz from peg 11, catching shallow on poled pellet. Mick Blowman narrowly beat Barry Gillam to second with 43lb 2oz from peg 15 and Barry weighed 42lb 12oz from peg 17.
Well done Paul and thanks to everyone for coming.

If you would like to book one of our lakes for a club match please give me a call.

Sunday’s match was fished on Heron Lake and with the blustery southwestly wind blowing straight into peg 19 I knew this would produce well and when draw bag Alex Bradley drew it we all knew we were fishing for second! Here are the results:

2nd Chris Bailey peg 7 37lb 4oz
3rd Mike O Gorman peg 3 36lb

Beautiful day today, but with the hot bright conditions the weights on both lakes were down on what they usually are. We had 14 fishing so pegged 2 sections on both lakes, here are the results:

2nd Adrian Holland peg 3 48lb
3rd Alex Bradley peg 13 45lb 10oz
