Report: 

This week’s well-attended match was fished on a much cooler day, with a variable and cooling SW wind blowing at an angle into the low-numbered pegs.  Despite the odd rain shower, it was mainly dry and cloudy with some sunny periods. As usual, the payout was to the overall winner and then (default) top two on each bank. Last week’s winner John Adamson again drew the B bank, this week moving into the high numbers on B19.  Fishing his usual method feeder (28g Nisa Porky) towards the island, he had a few early fish and then nearly two hours bite-less before the fish returned, after which he caught carp (from 2 lbs to around 10 lbs) steadily to end with 124-14 and another win. Making a rare visit to the match, Rob Mallabone drew peg A20 and took second place overall (winning the A bank pool) with 107-07.  Rob started on the method feeder with little response, so he switched to pole and pellet and caught well, especially throughout the final two hours as the fish came close to his bank.Simon Frost drew the same peg as the previous week when he struggled to catch – A15.  Using what he had learned previously, by switching between the method feeder to the island and bomb and pellet close in, he caught some decent carp to finish with 71-06 to take second place in the A bank pool.  Andy Findlay (peg A6) managed 70-10 switching between method feeder and bomb and pellet for fourth overall but just missed out on the payouts. 

Visitor Simon Diment fished a brilliant match on peg B21 for his fifth-placed 63-07 which scooped top place in the B bank pool.  Fishing pole throughout at various lengths, and baiting with maggots and corn, he caught mainly bream plus a few roach and perch, only hooking a single carp, which he failed to land.  This pushed Rich Reeve (peg B24 with 62-02) into sixth place.  Rich caught mainly on the method feeder with a few fish on the pole. Note was a nice carp of 10-14 caught by Dave Alewood from A8. 

Many thanks to Jim Innes and all the others who assisted with the scales.  We will return next Wednesday (10th July).
