RODS and REELS

This week saw the club at the Embalse de Pedrera, for the last match in the President´s Trophy series. The series being 4 matches with all to count. The venue fished bad is an under statement, of the 19 anglers who fished, only 8 caught!!!!!. It appears that the venue is going from bad to worse. The water level had dropped a couple of feet and the water temperature is cold. Whether this has anything to do with it, who knows??.

1^st Bill ( The Master ) Reade fishing the waggler using maggot with 14.42 kilo´s.

2^nd Terry ( Swing E´m ) Screen same method and bait with 10.440 kilo,s.

CARPRÚS

The 6th round of the Winter league was fished on the River Segura in Murcia Town centre  on Thursday November 26th.
The river had a dirty colour, mainly due to the works now being carried out by the Local Water Authority and because of this all the pegs were put upstream of the road bridge.
A recent drop in temperature, rain and strong winds all tried to spoil the day but some fish were caught and the results on the day were.

1^st  Paul Baxter 6.300 kgs Fishing bread and maggot on the pole for small 

Carp.

2^nd  Bob Rafferty  4.220 kgs Fishing maggot on the feeder for small Carp.

3^rd  Peter Hutchinson  2.420 kgs Fishing pole and maggot for small Carp.

ANGLERS TOGETHER

2^nd  David Hoare fishing feeder and maggot, 2.78kilos.

Fishing was very hard with most anglers not getting a bite, but at least all those who took part went home with something that they could drown their sorrows with. Thanks to Glen of  Mas y Menos, Campoverde for donating a gift voucher for tackle, which he presented  to the winner.

SUNDAYS MATCH.

Good day all. What ever you do, make sure your computer is fully protected, because when you get a virus, its a living nightmare. The problems i have had this last week, is unbelievable. My problem was, i was fully protected with Norton, but kept forgetting about new updates, so from now on i will be checking at least twice a week.
I have had to do a total  system recovery, which wipes out everything you have on your computer. I have lost everything. Most gutting being, i have lost all my pictures, and the only  pictures i had burned to a cd, was the faces of the anglers i have. So please  make sure you look out for latest updates, as that is the only way you can keep these b-----d's out of your pc. The last thing i down loaded was a thing, that improves your photos, and videos, and after that, was when the problems started. SO BE CAREFUL.


The match.

Sunday 6th December.
Club. Kingsholm A.C.
Venue. Manor Farm. (middle pool).
Draw 8.00am.
Fish. 9.00am to 2-00pm.

Two not so good things to report first. 1:- There was a match on here yesterday, which was won with 120lb.
So this lake as had a hammering. 2:- Only three of us turned up. There was a match on the other bank, so we were'nt on are own. Crazy, whats the point joining a club, and not turning up. I feel sorry for Andy who runs the club. So if there is any Members reading this. Cheers well done.
The whistle for the all in went at 9am. The rain had stopped, but the wind was blowing a gale. I set up one rod for the pellet feeder, and fished this through the match. Did'nt really expect much, as i said, yesterday the fish took an hammering, but i was determined to have a bash.
I can never get used to the rod shooting round, when you hook a fish, it still makes me jump. I suppose being a 99% pole angler as something to do with this. With just three fishing, theres not really much to report.
Whats the chances of someone falling in, breaking something,or falling over,with just three fishing, not much chance on that score. Back to the fishing. I averaged just under four fish per hour, to end up with 18 carp
,for 45lb. I lost five fish. Andy was doing a lot of bank walking, and john was chopping, and changing between the feeder, pole, and the waggler. So i wonder who got there tactics right, shall we take a look at the results, Oh! go on then.

RESULTS.

1ST. Me  Peg 1.  45-0-0. Won £40.

2nd.  John Hudson. Peg 2.  15-15-0. Won £20.

3rd.  Andy Cook. Peg 3. 0-6-0. Won nowt.

A few more pics.

Nice bag, stevie boy. Windy so i could'nt look my best.

A bit choppy.

Ready to go. C'mon whistle.

Looking a cross the lake, to my left.

Andy on is way to an impressive 6 ounces (tee he).

Angler on the far bank.

John on the pole. Hands where cold when i took this one.

Well thats it folks for this one, sorry it was'nt more. But you can't do a lot with just 3 Anglers turning up.

Next week will be better, as we are fishing at Watersmeet. The last of the aggregate matches for

Watersmeet A.C. Breakfast is at eight o'clock. Its mainly silver fish, so it might fish okay, we will have to wait, and see. Cheers for now STEVE.
