Colver Lake Sweepstake 23/1/11

After the big thaw of the previous week we were all hoping that we would get a little respite from the winter weather, we did, but not for long!!! With temperatures once again dipping down as low as -6 deg in midweek, the lakes were, once more, covered in a thick sheet of ice....As late as Saturday, anglers were still struggling to be able to break through it to enable a bit of fishing.

Sunday morning saw thirteen of the regular match crew gather around Colver for a sweepstake match. Thankfully with mild overnight temperatures the ice had all but gone from Colver. A few pegs at the north end of the lake still had the remains of the ice lingering on, but the lake was, on the whole, pretty clear.

If you didn't draw a peg at the southern end of the lake, frankly, it was a waste of time. All of the money winners came from the southernmost pegs. Topping the lot with, for the day, an outstanding weight of 16lb 8oz was the Cormorant himself! Chris Shore pulled out peg 16 and made good use of it, Chris was the only angler to put any number of Carp together, eight in all, and along with a couple of Chub, all caught on the Long Pole, with good old bread for bait, Chris took the top prize at a canter.

Dave Kimber took up residence on his usual peg, 21 ... The soil on this peg has an indentation of Dave's box on it he has drawn there so many times!!. Dave found some Lob worms in his bag that he had been using on the River Soar lately and used them to good effect, netting a Carp and a couple of big Perch prooving that oldest fishing baits still catch the fish . Along with a few Silver fish caught later on in the match Dave took 7lb to the scales for second place.

Alan Smith has a new tactic that seems to be working well...he has been getting Paul "Cookie" Cook to draw his peg for him...Once again Cookie pulled out a good'un, peg 25, for Smiggy....Two decent Carp in the first two puts was a great start on what was always going to be a tough day. Alan also found a nest of Roach in his peg, and try as he might to "feed them off" , they kept coming back for more... His final tally of 6lb 8oz was enough to land third spot.

Vinnie Logi drew fancied peg 18, but with the carp reluctant to feed it ended up as a real struggle. One Carp, hooked with his first cast at the far bank, was Vinnie's only bite of the day. Such was the lack of action for most anglers, though, it was still enough, at 1lb 12oz, to take section 1. A monster Perch, approaching the 3lb mark, helped to boost Mick Farmery's Silver fish weight and with it, take section 2 with 5lb 4oz.

Jasons Lake Sweepstake 9/1/11

Ten members decided to, once again, don the thermals and get on down to Frisby for a spot of Ice Bashing!! After they had all got suitably warmed up from the well practiced art of swinging the lead some mad fool suggested a fishing match!!!! (it takes all sorts  ) It's amazing what a dose of Cabin Fever can do to a man!

So the fishing it was.... Vinnie Logi came out on top with the, not inconsiderable, help of a Perch of 1lb+....Vinnie also managed to get a few of its smaller brothers and sisters into the net to finish up with a total of 2lb from peg 13. Unfortunately for everyone else, it was just the small brothers and sisters that were prepared to play ball. Mick Farmery catching the most of them with 14oz of small stripey's from peg 19 for second place.

Dave Kimber prooved that there are still some silver fish about, by adding two or three Roach to his team of small footballers for a section 1 winning weight of 12oz from peg 2. Alan Smith added evidence to his oft repeated claim that he only draws fliers when the waters are out of sorts by drawing peg 10.....a flyer . He did manage to take section 2 though, with another all Perch catch of 12oz .
