Our Head Bailiff James Makin was flying solo this week when he fished Grey Mist, only fishing for a night session he settled down and set his traps. This consisted of 2 rods rigged with Formula pop ups by RG baits on a Heli rig over a bed of freebies, he finally finished his session with 3 Tench biggest was 8lb & 2 carp biggest 22lb 6ozs also a smaller very old original 18lb on the nose.
Woodshaw reservoir was the venue for a dawn raid in search of crucians Kev Brindle, this was his 1st trip to the water so he surveyed the lake and settled on peg 22. After setting up 2 swims either side of the peg with hemp & caster he tackled up and watched as fish were topping. From the start he had net roach instantly but after 30 mins there were no signs of his intended quarry so he switched to corn on the hook and hey presto. Well 8 crucians later and numerous roach in between left him well pleased with his visit and he also commented on how well looked after the lake was.
Regular contributor to the blog Gary Whitehead paid a visit to Statham this past week intent on catching Roach, so pole fishing it was 3ft deep with a single maggot on a 18s hook under a .3g float feeding loose maggots. Gary finally got the Roach on the feed when the Pike gate crashed the part unperturbed, he went to his car where he always carries a lure rod and proceeded to add 2 small jacks to his catch using a 10 g Fox Rage Spikey.
Member Sonny Suroso paid a visit to The Mount Saturday and was well chuffed with the 14lbs common taken on a Ronnie rig with krill Wafter.
I bumped into Daniel Martin on the Mist Friday while I was helping with some maintenance and we got chatting seem Daniel has been giving the Tench a right good hiding and proof was in the pudding has he hooked into the 10th of that session. This had increased to 11 by the time his catch report came in the biggest went 7lbs 3oz and all were caught using flat method feeders with micros and 8mm banded dumbbell Wafter, keep searching for that 8lber Daniel.
Thank you to all our volunteers who were out and about on our fisheries this past week your work is much appreciated you know who you are. Please be patient with our volunteers if you're out fishing just remember They would probably prefer to be where you are.
This week's match held close to the Broken Cross was won by George Barber AKA the breadman with an all roach catch on you guessed it bread punch, close behind was Jimmy Byrnes after contending with a rogue Pike, best action was by the conker trees. Geoff Brookes was 3rd catching small Roach & Perch, 20 anglers fished and all but 1 weighed in which is a good sign following the pollution last year.
