Today’s match produced the first 50lb+ net and with it the £50 bonus that has been up for grabs all summer. Lee Dark (Pictured below) drew peg 9 on Heron Lake. He fished 8mm pellets over 6mm fishery pellets and sweetcorn. The total weight was 60lb 2oz. Well done Lee.

I really should give Mark Charnell (AKA Sharky) a mention who had second with a 49lb 6oz net in the same match on peg 19. (Pictured below) He fished worm over 6mm fishery pellet. Close but no cigar!!

3rd was Brian White with 25lb. Well done to all who took part and thanks for your continued support.

Marazion angling club and Sirco Occasional Danglers Society held a club V club match on Heron Lake. Barry (Marazion) won with 30lb 4oz and won £40, John Wilson (Marazion) was second and had 28lb 9oz and won £30, third was Ian (S.O.D.S) with 23lb 3oz and won £25 and fourth was Gary (Marazion) with 22lb 9oz and won £15. Marazion was the winning club (No overall prize, just the kudos). Looks like you’ll have to arrange another match so S.O.D.S can regain some dignity!!

Despite the cold and the amount of rain we keep getting Amalwhidden Farm is still fishing well. Here’s a net of fish from a small match on Fir Tree pond.

Most fish fell to maggot fished on a feeder over 5 hours.

And don’t forget our winter offer is still on until the end of Feb.

Marizion angling club held there second of three winter league matches on Heron Lake. 9 fisherman took part and it proved to be hard going, which isn’t surprising after the months of rain we have had. 1st was John Wilson with 5lb 3oz and won £35, 2nd was Gary Smith with 4lb 3oz and won £25, 3rd was Geoff Chatfield with 3lb 11oz and won £15 and forth was John Shirley with 3lb 10oz and won £6.

Well done to all who took part and braved the elements. Hope the warm mince pies helped!!

Look forward to seeing you all again in March, when the weather will be warmer and catches will be much better.
