It was all about personal bests this week with over 1300 lb of fish being caught in the Sunday Open, in one section all but one landed over 100 lb of fish. The winner overall was Andy Newton, Furnace Mill, he produced his best ever catch here with 183 lb 15 oz from peg 51 on Mucky Meadow.

In second place was Mark Hawthorne, A-Class, with 130 lb 2 oz from peg 38 on Mucky and in third was Sean Coffey, Mark's Tackle, with 122 lb 15 oz from peg 45.  John Newton, Furnace Mill, just scraped 4th off peg 49 with 103 lb 8 oz beating Jon West, Mark's Tackle, into 5th with 101 lb 9 oz from peg 32.

Pleasure anglers have reported excellent catches in the sunshine this week with plenty of double figure carp being taken off the top, falling to bread or dog biscuit. 4 or 6 mm feed pellet has been producing well with maggot, meat and corn on the hook. Plenty of fish showing in the margins now particularly late on.

Next weekend is a Bank Holiday so there will be no league match although we will still have an open on Sunday and Monday.  Draw will be at 10 am fishing 11 am to 4 pm on both days. They are to be run as two separate matches but there will be an extra prize to fish for for anglers who attend both days.  Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
