Jasons Lake Sweepstake 26/4/11

Fourteen members fished a Sweepstake match after the AGM on Sunday afternoon, on Jasons Lake.

Mark Aikins was top rod on the day with a respectable weight of 37lb from peg 7. Paul Cooke caught well in the final stages of the competition and one more fish would have probably earned him first place, but he had to settle for runner up spot with 34lb off of peg 10. Dave Kimber taking the last frame place with 26lb 13oz from a peg that he seems to draw with some regularity, peg 4!!

Malc Spring made a rare visit, and was rewarded with a Section 1 win, Malc netting 16lb 12oz from peg 6. Section 23 went to Simon Pepper with a good weight of 22lb 4oz from peg 12.

Course fish Pellets now allowed on Broome Waters 24/4/11

After a good debate at this years AGM it was voted by the members present at the meeting that as from 12.00pm 24/4/2011, Course Fish only, Pellets would be allowed on all of Broome AS Waters. the vote was approximately 80% for 20% against.

High Oil Pellets, such as Halibut Pellets and Trout Pellets will, however, not be allowed. Various studies have shown that high oil pellets can cause damage to course fish as they find them indigestible. If you choose to use pellets please respect the decision of the majority of the membership, and use only course fish pellets. 

Steve Halford Bags at Jasons 21/4/11

Steve Halford had a great day at Jasons Lake last Sunday 17/4/11. Read his account below...

I had a go on Jasons on Sunday 17th April 2011, seems like I'm not having much luck catching carp recently, but I couldn't complain with this net of Silver fish. After no bites on either meat, sweetcorn or paste I started to flick a few maggots in. After about 15 minutes the water was "boiling". I set up a short pole rig fishing up in the water and started catching! Every few fish I caught, the Silvers moved further out, so I kept flicking maggots without casting until they came back in close, and repeated the cycle throughout the afternoon The final tally 42 Silver fish all 8oz -1lb, and a few over the 1lb plus a dozen assorted, Perch and Skimmers! a very enjoyable session!!!

Michaels day on Sanctuary Lake 20/4/11

Michael Mottram had a good day on Sanctuary Lake last Sunday 17/4/11 read his account below...

A days pleasure fishing on sanctuary on the Pole, with a feeder rod on the side, with a bite alarm. I started at 11am things where slow at the start but then the small silver fish started and I ended up with about 15 Rudd and Roach to 6 inches. 

At 6pm I had a take on worm maggot cocktail on the pole, it was clearly a good fish, I quickly managed to get it into clear water. Then the fun started when it realised it was hooked and of it went not the fast run of a Carp but a steady pace like a tank just going and going. With my elastic at full stretch I quickly added the rest of my pole sections and was just in control when I saw it roll... I first thought I may be on for a double, after about 10 minutes I was able to bring it to the and land it. Not as big as it felt but a plump 5lb 10ozs.  

After I had weighed it I left it in the weighing sack and got the camera ready. I was just putting it back on the unhooking mat when my feeder rod went I quickly put the sack back in the water and went to my feeder rod... after a short fight I landed a nice 2lb 8ozs Tench both where released after the photos. I would not mind hooking the Carp again after it has put on about 10lb what a fight that would be.  

After that the only bite I had was a 9 inch Tench that was fin perfect without a mark on it small but a pleasure to catch.
