Wednesday 28th December was our festive Christmas match! We had a good turn out and we served everyone a complimentary bacon roll with a tea or coffee before the start.
With both lakes full it was a shame it fished so hard, oh well that’s winter fishing!
We paid top three on each lake and everyone went home with a prize from a bottle of Jack Daniels, a voucher for West Cornwall Angling, a case of beer, bottles of wine, chocolates, biscuits, to a tub of Haribos! Here’s the results:

Heron Lake:
1st John Wykes peg 18 26lb
2nd Roger Baker peg 7 20lb 1oz
3rd Neil Hodder peg 20 18lb 14oz

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
