1st. Steve Sams, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield Angling                      peg 14        57-08-0
This was a bloody horrible windy day in which poles were broken and fish were lost due to awful bait presentation it was a job to know what to do for the best, Steve managed to some how net a summer weight and this didn't include any bonus carp just tench and bream on the short pole at 5m with caster to the hook and 3 pints loose fed throughout the match. 26 anglers fished the match, and the anglers were split into two sections one team member in each section, points one to thirteen were alocated to each angler according to position in section, 1pt for a win and 13pts for last in section, there were also three individual prize's in section which Sams scooped in section one...

2nd. Steve Thorn, Terrapins                                                         peg 10       50-00-0
Steve managed to land two carp in his catch and this placed him and his partner Andy Gregory in good stead for the pairs place overall, the wind faired a little better on this bank and enabled Steve to fish the pole at 13m, he also fished the whole match in a T-shirt thats how extreme the condition were on the lake, the right hand bank was like a summers day and the left hand bank was just hell.

3rd. George Manoli, Lake John                                                    peg 32       39-08-0
George returns back on the Sunday scene, this memorial marks the end of the winter league and Sunday open matches until next year anyway, pellet head Manoli fished down the rushes in the inner margins securing a bonus carp and a net full of mixed fish all on the long pole fishing with the wind...

That was the top three indivduals and now the top three pairs and there points

1st. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John                            peg 13       36-13-0
Kenny's back, this was on the cards because over the past few weeks Ken has started to sort it out on the lake and has been up there for a little while, the feeder was the line of attack for the early part of the match and by the mid way mark it was over to the long pole which was made very difficult to use because of the strong winds that were gusting all over the lake, tench, bream, skimmers and one bonus carp of 10lb made up Mr. Farrell's top weight, but this was yet another trade mark close match and he only just got away with it, well done Kenny...

2nd. Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle                     peg 11       34-00-0
Another good draw on a horrible windy day, it was extra line added to the pole rig and a 1gram float to hold the bottom fishing 6" over depth, the bait had to be still for it to effective, pellet to the hook on the long pole at 13m for a days sport fish of skimmers and a couple of bream, the tip was bite less all match what a waste of time.

3rd. Martin Amos, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield Angling        peg 8        33-12-0
Unlucky Martin just one more minnow would have given you that extra place, fancy letting me beat you... its like winning the match beating you mate.

Martin Amos maintains his run of form, And it was his pellet that out guns the Dorking Ace Wilsmore and his chopped worm...

1st. Martin Amos, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield Angling       peg 13          32-02-0
The Amos is back on top of his game and on yet another wet and wild windy day, Martin's long pole and pellet is deadly when conditions allow and it had to be hard work in these winds to maintain the correct presentation that it would require to gain the edge over the Diawa Dorking man sitting next to him, better stamp skimmers and bonus tench were back on this side of the lake.

2nd. Steve Clark, Image                                                  peg 11          29-12-0
Long pole and pellet again for Steve on the 13m line the gusting winds always cost you fish and one bonus fish was all it would take to separate a 1st from a 2nd place.

3rd. Bob Jarvis, Old Hatfield Angling                             peg 3           27-13-0
My mate bisto Bob was not far off the pace and in fact lost a couple of fish also, this bank had the wind blowing directly into it, and with the rain as well you should have seen the state of him by the end of the match, in my mind mate you won just on the strength that you sat there and suffered it, my hero.

It was all to play for on this the last week of the winter series and it would only take one good result from anyone and the predictable early rounds could soon be upturned...

26 Fished

1st. Bob Jarvis, Old Hatfield Angling                           peg 4          32-14-0
Bisto Bob proved again that he is different gravey, fishing the long pole with positive pellet to the hook Bob had at last drawn a peg he could shine on, this fishing lark is all about a bit of luck and hard work, so with the luck part of the day achived he then had to put a few fish together, the conditions were ideal for a bag of skimmers and a few bonus bits and bobs, well that's exactly what happened and being in the pairs this was the sort of result that could change fortunes, Bob and his team mate Dave Massey were at the bottom coming into this round but not for long.

2nd. Dean Hunt, Terrapins                                            peg 30        25-10-0
This is my team mate and Dean pulled through to save the day as I spiralled off the chart this week and accumulated a massive amount of points, Dean fished the long pole but didn't have it too easy though because for the most of the match he was biteless but the bonus carp came to his rescue and with the first one bagged by 12 o'clock it would be another one 10 minutes before the end that would clinch a massive points advantage in the pairs stake,

3rd. Martin Amos, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield                   peg 14        22-04-0
This was a good result for Martin and the points would keep him right up there, this was another carp that saved his bacon, cold water keeps going in the lake and the end result has been that the fish seem to slow down, I think we will be fishing for the roach from now on until the rain eases!, Martin hooked a bonus carp on his light skimmer tackle on the long pole and pellet was hooked and fed, he played the fish out for just over an hour but if they come in the count.

4th. Steve Sams, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield                    peg 35       21-04-0

1st. Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle              peg 33       42-02-0
About time!, bonus fish on the pellet long pole.

2nd. Steve Sams, Elite Baits-Hatfield Angling       peg 35      30-04-0
Steve was giving me stick all morning about how he’s going to bash me and throwing down side bets to draw me in, and it worked because the side bet was a pound and the banter began, I told him to put his mum’s number on speed dial in his phone because before the match was over he was gonna need comforting, It has to be said that he took off like a whippet but as my mate Len Goulding says “remember the tortoise and the hair”, well Steve hooked everything in his swim from roach to tench, and probably had more fish than me but they didn’t weigh as much did they, unlucky Steve then had to very publicly hand over the quid, and that was very lovely unlucky Sams next week bring a box of pain killers and a hard back book down your strides so when you next get smacked it don’t hurt so much, but next week its for the title.

3rd. Alex Roberts, Middy                                          peg 3         29-04-0
Small fish from the off close in and not to much on the long trusted pellet line, rudd and roach were a big part of Alex’s weight and for nearly three hours he kept these coming, so another three hours and a clear victory would have been insight.

4th. Steve Thorn, Terrapins                                      peg 4         24-08-0

5th. Kevin Hodges, J+B Tackle                                peg 16       23-08-0

1st. Joe Robinson, Ringers Baits                                           peg 14       32-10-0 NL
Joe had a different approach today and that was to throw out on the tip because after trying for most of the morning the pole line seemed biteless the tip started to work small fish soon turned into one bonus carp which awarded Joe with a 10lb advantage, switching back onto the pole was still proving very slow and it was just past the mid match mark that Joe secured another carp on the tip, 10lb more would be added to his small fish weight and popped just enough on the scale to beat his travel partner Danny, this is two wins out of two now…

2nd. Danny Fung, Hertford                                                       peg 9        32-00-0 NL
Danny has made a successful come back to the lake and over the past few weeks has always been up there in the rankings, pellet on the long pole and plenty of feed was Danny’s method of attack and it took about an hour to get the peg warmed up and then it was a steady trickle of fish throughout the day, skimmers and bream.

3rd. Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle                              peg 4        28-08-0
I had a feeling that I might draw this peg today and was a bit unsure of its ability, I have never sat on this peg before in my life so there was nothing to lose, positive pellet was my approach and with 4mm expander to the hook it was as simple as that, skimmers at first and then a couple of bonus bream and one big tench of 4lb helped out no end, as the match went on the peg just got better and with two bonus fish bumped off the hook you could say I was a little upset but I didn’t swear!.................. honest!

 1st. Steve Sams, Elite Baits-Old Hatfield Angling        peg 14         32-06-0
On an absolute flyer of a peg he should have won, there was very little skill involved the peg is full of fish he should have had double that lucky old Steve, Steve drew this peg last week and only had 15lb so what a difference a week can make, the tip was put out but only produced tiny skimmers on the maggot it wasn’t until the pole was given some attention that the damage really started to happen, 4mm pellet was the fancy for the bonus skimmers and bream and just for good measure takes the maximum league points as well

2nd.
Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle                      peg 41        30-10-0
This is a much un-fancied peg at the moment but it just goes to show how this lake can throw a weight up from anywhere, it was nearly 2 hours into the match before the first bite and then lucky for me the fish that arrived were the better bonus fish from 1lb to 3lb very pleasant day after what I thought was going to be a bad day, it was a positive approach fishing 4mm expander pellet  over a bed of micro pellet.

3rd. Mick Scanlan, GOT Baits-Fox Match                          peg 31       25-14-0
Still having it with his secret white Van den Eynde pellet with loads of GOT baits feed pellets that he gets for nothing of course, each week Mick seems to weight in with a smile, skimmers and roach, and its about time you drew away from that back bank as well Micky!

Mat Hart was up at 3 o’clock completed a five mile marathon practise run before he turned up at the lake to then pick up first place by a very comfortable margin…

1st. Matthew Hart, Princess Alexandra Hospital      peg 31        26-06-0
Into the intense stages of his London Marathon training Mat has dedicated himself to early morning running, so he was definitely bright eyed and bushy tailed for the match ahead, Mat started on the feeder and caught immediately not big fish but action from the off is always a good thing so  switching from pole to feeder Mat bagged up on yet another blustery day, maggot to the hook on the feeder and maggot on the pole line with a bit of ground bait, two tench and a bonus 4lb bream accompanied a bag of silver skimmers.

2nd. Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle                peg 32       16-08-0
The feeder was never going to be an option for me so watching Mat plugging away gave him a massive heads up before the halfway mark, but peg 32 is a corner peg and this isn’t anywhere you can throw it so it was a full pole attack long with pellet and short with the caster, small fish mainly but a fair days fishing and a bit of banter as well that’s twice this week I have sat next to the winner, Mick Scanlan on Wednesday and now Mat its not good for the ego.

1st. Steve Briggs, Terrapins                                  peg 33       24-14-0
More cold rain during the night and a slight dip in the temperature put the fish in hiding a little bit but on a sell out match, this was yet another close match which the lake is known for, Mr Briggs played it cool and just kept plugging away which he does with ease and it has to be said on a very consistent peg at the moment this relative new comer did it just about right, small silvers with one bonus tench, so it was second last time here and now a first.

2nd. Attila Szekeres, Preston J+B Tackle             peg 38       24-08-0
Last years Fish a mania finalist slipped into second spot with a little help from a bonus carp in the first half of the match, the mandatory 10lb was awarded and it was scratching an additional 14lb 8oz for his grand total.

This was the last practise match before the Sunday open league begins, and the pecking order was starting to show its self, who will pair with who is the question?, pairs will be drawn this coming Sunday morning…

22 Fished

1st. Steve Sams, Elite Baits-Hatfield Angling           peg 36         31-08-0
Steve Hasn’t fished the top lake lately due to work commitments and over the Christmas break we saw his return and in only a couple of matches he was back up there in the top ranks again, with gusting winds there was only one thing for it. it would have to be short pole and pellet, the normal long pole line is 13m but in these conditions it was less than half that at 6m, tench skimmers and bream were the target fish and with plenty of feed Steve managed to keep a few fish interested, but only just did enough to hold on to first place.

2nd. Steve Briggs,  Terrapins                                      peg 9          30-10-0
Steve hasn’t been here for a long, long time but with a bit of info downloaded in the café over breakfast, was soon to pay dividends, caster was the approach with a bit of pellet on a longer pole than Sams due to the fact the conditions on this bank were slightly better, but it has to be said that Steve done good.

3rd. Alan Spooner, Hatfield Angling                           peg 34        20-12-0
Long pole was impossible for Alan so it was mainly tip work chucking short of the island, skimmers and roach

4th. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John                       peg 33         20-10-0

5th. Glen Butler, Lake John                                        peg 11         20-02-0

Dennis Jarvis travelled the length of the country to fish today from a short break in Scotland to small lake in Waltham Abbey…

20 Fished

1st. Dennis Jarvis, Pro Master-Trabbucco                peg 33         24-10-0
Den phoned me late afternoon on the Saturday asking if he could get a ticket for the match the following day, Den has fished the lake for many years and of course there is always a ticket he then proceeded to tell me that he was in Scotland and hoped to be there in time for the draw, which he was, and the rest in a matter of fact, Dennis fished the peg just right and on a wet and very windy new years eve did just enough to pinch the grand prize, fishing caster on the long pole down the inner margins, for roach, rudd, perch and bream with a couple of small tench for good measure, proper days fishing after a long drive I don’t know how you managed it old chap.

2nd. Colin Bartlett, lake John-J+B Tackle                 peg 36        23-08-0
Wasted a bit too much time on the feeder perhaps in the early part of the match but as the wind got up the long pole was put away and it was caster on the 6m line to which skimmers, roach and perch showed which was a stroke of luck, because with the mild conditions I had banked on and the pellet on the long pole it was impossible to fish.

3rd. Mick Scanlan, Fox Match-GOT Baits                  peg 32        22-08-0
Have you noticed this bloke is popping up every week at the moment, Dicky Carr drew this peg last week and the fish seemed to be else where but when Mick draws a peg the fish soon follow, long pole down the inner margin and at 14m in the least windy part of the lake. Another pay day.

4th. Terry Barratt, Simpsons of Turnford                  peg 9         19-12-0

5th. George Manoli, Lake John                                  peg 14       19-10-0

Jnt 6th. Glen Butler, Lake John                                 peg 3         18-12-0
              Gary Neal, Palmers Green Angling             peg 26       18-12-0
