Fishing time this evening was 6.00pm till 9.30pm
The first time i have ever seen the level on a lake rise whilst fishing, the forcast for Wednesday was rain but during the day there were some light showers and a bit of sun,nothing untoward.At 8pm the skys opened and it pissed down,turning the fish right off,what a load of old rubbish that fishing is good in the rain. all that happens is you get wet.
Peg 6 went in the bag tonight for a change, it is normally left out and peg 5 goes in,that left the lake that end virtually free with lots of room for who ever drew it. the last couple of years pegs 5 & 6 haven't really showed any form in the evening matches.
Neil Mercer Drew peg 6 and straight away was moaning that it was crap,With Darren north on peg 1 and Trigger on peg 2 it was going to be a bit of a scrap for the top three.
Well Neil won the match with 33.12 with carp caught down the edge late on Just beating his taxi fare mate trigger by three pound.
Neil Mercer..................33.12.......peg 6
Brian Shanks.................32.12.......peg 13
Trigger.......................29.14.......peg 2
Simon Belchem.............29.7.........peg 11
Chris Davis..................Retired early

Wed 19th May New Lake
Fishing times this wed 6.00pm till 9.20pm
Summer is here at last, there has been an upturn in the weather with the evening temperature a steady 16 deg it was a far change from the prev week on the old lake where it plummeted to 6deg by the all out.
A quick walk around the lake before any one turned up and the silvers were hard at it (spawning) if the temperature stays as forested the the carp will soon be at it as well, 20 to 23 deg (water temp) and they will spawn leaving the eggs to hatch,they take about 3 to 4 days to hatch into fry as long as they are fertilised by the male within 60 seconds.
That's Enough biology now.
At the draw the well performing peg 29 went to the PSV draw bag Darren North,With a grin on his face he was off like a rocket to get set up.With the all in under way it was John Clarke who was making good headway with small carp every put in from peg 32 on corn right over to the reeds.
Everyone was catching well until about 8.00pm then all the small carp and F1s just shut up shop for the night, then everyone was left scratching around for a decent carp or a smattering of small roach and skimmers.
Brian Shanks Took Top spot off peg 26 catching well at the start then switching to banded 4mls on the hook to take decent roach and skimmers.
Close on his heels was Darren North from peg 29 who missed out by 8lb.
Also out of the money spot was Steve Rogers who claimed to have lost enough fish to open a chip shop from peg 35
Spare a thought for Simon Belchum who had a double fig grass carp leap from the security of his lap straight onto his pole and breaking two sections.
Results
Brian Shanks..............37.4lb
Darren North.............29.8lb
Johny Clarke.............25.4lb
Steve Rogers.............25.0lb
Keith Billder.............22.8lb
Simon Belchem..........14.00

Wed 12th May Big Lake
Fishing Times This Wed 6.00pm till 9.05pm
The temperature this morning was a massive 4 deg and by the time of the all in some 10 hours later i don't think it had gone up by much,we also had some rain which i think was from Iceland.
With a few people not showing we were shore of plenty of room on the old lake which was just as well as the charity match on sun fished extremely hard.
Steve Rogers (team ebay )was off to a unbeatable start with his second fish being a 10lb common from peg 5,fishing at 3mts at the bottom of the shelf with corn.
Also off to a good start was Ian Sweeney on peg 2 who continued to catch small tench and skimmers all evening fishing out by the island.
Winning peg this wed was peg 11. Brian Shanks fished at 12mtrs for F1s and tench on sweet corn then a switch down to his left hand margin saw carp queuing to get on the hook.
Results
Brian Shanks 49.8lb
Shaun Townsend 41.00lb
Steve Rogers 24.8lb
Ian Sweeney 23.00lb
Simon Belchem 10.8lb
Darren North dnw
