2009 Winter League. Match 3.




Sunday 20th December.

Today Winter had set in well and truly at the lake. A layer of ice covered the
lake. John had been making some top class ice breakers and was keen to show them off.

The big lake had a thicker covering of ice while the little lake was a bit thinner.

Drawing today had to be done quickly to allow time for people the break the ice
from their pegs, it helped with Match Fishing Scene team not been able to make it today.

It seems someone had placed a hit on one of the Assassin team member Clive, as the SAS had turned up to assassinate him.



The assembled mob waiting to draw.



As suspected the fishing turned out to be really hard today with only A section without any DNW's.

Only 4 carp were caught today with the majority of fish being caught Perch.

With this been the last match before Christmas John and Pauline had laid on some hot tomato soup and hot dogs for after the match. Thank you very much it was a lovely thought and much needed.



Another thing as it was the last match before Christmas, everyone brought along a wrapped up present. The winner gets to choose first and down to last place from all the gifts on the table. There was also a nice fruity hamper, the winner of which was decided with a dip in to the draw bag from Pauline. She pulled out peg 30 which was Phil Powell's peg, so he won the hamper.



Now on to the results.

A Section Winner and Overall winner for the 3rd match running Mick Lane. Well done.



B Section Winner Pete Archer.



C Section Winner Ian McCullock



And for the man who caught the most fish today. About 50-70 he reckons. Neal Riddy.

2009 Winter League, Match 2.

6th December 2009.

This morning saw the second winter league match. The weather at the lake was surprisingly nice. Clear sky's with a slight wind from the car park bank over towards the motorway bank. The draw format was that the person that won each section on the first match drew first, second drew second and so on.
John Bennett hoping to draw peg 9



But Steve Wilson Drew it instead.


The draw was only a few minutes late today meaning the match was due to start at 10.15am and finish at 3.15pm.
After the first hour of the match it seems more carp were been caught today, mainly from the bar up in the top end of the big lake. Pegs 14 round to peg 24 were having plenty (for winter) of carp. I was on peg 26 and seems I was just off the fish but had fun watching everyone else catching. I could see John Bennett from my peg, he was on the peg I was on last match, peg 30 and was struggling with liners but managed to catch a few silvers. With the weigh in done it was clear to see how much better the big lake had fished today up the top end.

A Section Winner.. Phil Powell. Rolfslake Gold.




B Section Winner.. Ian McCullock. Rolfslake Diamond.


C Section Winner.. Mick Lane. Rolfslake Gold.
