Mr Amos makes spare peg count and gives the rest the needle……..

15 fished

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                                           peg 1            32-08-0
With peg 24 not in the hat this week, Martin took full advantage, pole at 10 metres to the deep hole, switching between corn and his trusted pellet for nine carp. When the needle went round we was treated to the customary “that’s more than I thought I had”. Well done Mart.

2nd. Paul Hyde, Laindon Allsorts,                                                 peg 6            23-04-0
With a cold wind blowing into peg 5 preventing the usually reliable Roy Makins from mounting a challenge, Paul fished across, catching small carp and skimmers steadily all match. If peg 24 had of been in who knows…

3rd. Paul Dunn, J&B Tackle,                                                          peg 12          20-10-0
Another consistent corner peg, Paul’s approach was all about converting bites, small carp, skimmers, roach, perch and anything fishy, putting together a good net as temperatures dropped and the usual ‘last hour’ margin carp went on the missing list.

An archive picture of John Young a champ amongst champ's



This weeks winner John Young standing with the late and great Mark Shaunghessy and the very present Martin Amos, this is a picture that a dug out of the depths of the Lake John memory banks back in 2008, I would like to take this moment of nostalgia to remember the recent passing of Sid Roberts a friend of time gone past and all be it many years ago Sid was a regular to the lake and made this his own venue after many years of running matches at Stanborough, RIP Sid.

1st. John Young, Lake John,                              peg 9         27-08-0
John wrapped up warm as this was a chilly start to the day but temperatures were increasing as John started to put a few fish in the net pellet fish down the track and across to the far bank stick ups big carp kept slipping the hook another difficult match as the water temperatures dip with the increase of water that has hit us once again.

2nd. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,            peg 6         21-00-0
Ken caught all match and everyone thought he had done enough to win the match but the fish were on the smaller side 6mm pellet and the Farrell fish to win attitude always makes him a threat on the bank.

3rd. Paul Law, Trabbuco-South East,                 peg 3         12-04-0
Paul just popped in for a go this week and done a good enough job considering the conditions cold wind and shallow water, maggot to the hook created a days fishing and easily secured 3rd spot, this was a tuff old match this week.

1st. Lester Bishop, Lake John,                   Golden peg 17      31-00-0
This was a fully attended match with nearly two to a peg the organiser slightly over subsribed this week sorry chaps, but this didn't stop Lester making a good peg great and taking home all the coin, very little feed and a searching the peg approach soon gave a glimmer of hope as a few fish started to move in the peg, not the highest scoring event by any means but a victory all the same, small carp down the track and across to the far bank, a lovely chap and what a golden peg champ...

2nd. Roy Makins, GOT Baits,                                     peg 3        25-08-0
Roy maintains form again this week but just not enough to stop the golden peg, pellet across to the far bank.

3rd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                      peg 10      19-00-0
Martin worked the peg hard and with every peg in on this bank the busy anglers will get the fish as he proved again this week.

Bobby Wren celebrates with a cigar and 41lb of all things fishy as he takes a clear victory

17 Fished

1st. Bobby Wren, Pro Angling Ware,                       peg 16       41-00-0
We have experienced a lot of rain over the past couple of days and this tends to put the fish down and off the feed so being a smart chap Bobby decided from the off to just fish maggot down the track and catch what ever came his way and after seeing his pal Martin Amos produce only 6lb on this peg last week he didn't realise quiet how much a good idea this was going to be, the match times have now been shortened due to the lack of day light so the match finished at 3.30pm and its fair to say no-one was going to get close to Bob as he just kept one step ahead of the rest of the field, Bobby Wren-Maver-Channel 9, this victory has taken three years to achieve and it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, we salute you Mr.Wren.

2nd. Roy Makins, GOT Baits,                                   peg 22        26-10-0
Roy slips one place from last week when he collected the golden peg, we need the water at the moment but cold rain water before the match is never a good thing as Roy was to find out bites were hard to come by and when they did it was more of the foul hooked variety, pellet and maggot done the job this week for Roy.

3rd. Charley Clark, Farnborough,                            peg 3         26-04-0
This young girl is unstoppable at the moment given these men a run for their money, second last week and a very respectable 3rd today, maggot again the bait of the day and when Charley started to hook the better fish it was a change up in rigs to convert these bites into keepers, another great performance Charley way to go!

1st. Roy Makins, GOT Baits,                                Golden peg3         32-00-0,
This was a real strain as the bites were hard to find but Roy made the most as he searched his peg long to the far bank with pellet to the hook and next to no feed gave Roy more than enough to clean up and scoop the golden peg as well, loads of money £180.00 to be precise.

2nd. Charley Clark, Lake John-Farnborough,              peg 19         16-12-0
This girl is getting better every match and taking some big names out on the way this week was the turn of ex-England ace Dicky Carr who could only manage 10oz's on the next peg a true whooping for the ace, Charley hardly fed any loose feed and managed to pick a few fish off using a single maggot small carp and a net of silvers bagged a nice little pay day for the Cuffley lass, I think that is a lucky top Charley, well done girl......

3rd. Paul Hyde, Lake John,                                            peg 8          15-08-0
Everyone struggled today for what ever reason but like Paul it was a case of sticking with it and just convert as many bites as poss, the bites were very few but just enough bites for a few quid, tight to the far bank one 6lb'er made it all possible.

4th. Bob Wren, Ware Angling-Maver,                           peg 10         12-04-0

Driscoll is on a roll with a victory off the back of a Wednesday second place....

16 fished

1st. Robin Driscoll, RAD Law,                             peg 23          53-08-0
On his game the new boy on the block has taken his match chat, listened to it, digested it, and now doing it, Robin has learned a lot over the past couple of months and with a bit of initiative he has come on in leaps and bounds, today's match should have been a write off as he arrived at the venue with no top kits for his pole so it was time to improvise with waggler rod, fishing the inner margins Robin has had to tuck his rod under his arm with the reel two feet behind him and on the strike he had to ship his rod forward to the butt section so he could play the fish, red maggot to the hook and loose feeding nearly 4 pints during the match, small carp and big carp.

2nd. Bob Wren, Ware Angling,                            peg 24         41-08-0
Bobby Wren and Robin have had a great day good company sitting next to each other and a few fish as well hat better these two battered the Amos today and had great pleasure telling him at the end of the match a meat treat is Bob's usual approach and it was a smaller stamp of fish but plenty of them,

3rd. Den Jarvis, Pro Master-Trabucco,               peg 21        36-00-0
It would seem that the better fish have all moved into the twenty's i didn't realise they could count as well as swim.

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell fisheries,                         peg 6        51-00-0
Amos has had it all his own way for far to long so there is a new young contender in town and she goes by the name of Charlie Clark so watch out!, Martin has got great faith in catching at his feet later on in the match and its either corn or pellet that is doing the biz.....

2nd. Andy Gregory, Milo-Borden,                               peg 16     32-08-0
No early wake up call for Andy this week as he made the draw in plenty of time and was suffering no drink induced ailments as in previous weeks, a good peg on this sell out event as Andy scratched a few fish together on the pellet

3rd. Charlie Clark, Lake John,                                     peg 24     24-06-0
What can you say about this hot young Cuffley based prospect as she began the contest Charlie soon had to realize that she was sat between two angling greats, on her left was Fishomania three times qualifier Ken Farrell and to the right the perfectionist that is John Young, but that was never going to phase her as she just got on with business, working all her lines she didn't plunder a peg for to long as she soon realised this was going to be a low scoring contest, pellet to the hook was the strongest and plenty of bites, Charlie is only 11 years old and has got a great future and a great family supporting her as well, her dad Scott has been putting in the miles running her to matches all over the country with her Farnborough youth team whilst her mum Maxine and sister Rachel are always cheering in the back ground, Maxine and Rachel were gutted they just missed the weigh in as they had other duties to attend, there was a huge round of applause as the results were read out and it was announced that Charlie had secured third place, a very big well done Charlie a brilliant effort, I bet Grandad Bill was watching you today girl as you bashed em up both sides of ya.

Paul had a great victory last week from peg 16 with 61lb and the top three last week were again the top three this week, Up in the water again pinging 4mm hard pellet across to the far bank, fish all day and all spiecies were in the peg, next week is Paul's chance to join the three in a row club and a chance of T-shirt.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,              peg 1             67-12-0
Yet another good draw and it has to be said if he landed all the fish he hooked then he would have been a champ for sure, sweetcorn to the hook over a bed of expander pellet small carps and big carps

Not here that often as Tylers is his venue on a Saturday morning but this quick change in venue proved to be a very good move, small carp medium carp and the odd skimmer to the meat on the short pole, down the track and centre margins.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                               peg 20       55-04-0
A bad last hour has cost Martin the match and relegated him into second place again this week, 4mm pellet and toss potting micro pellet gave Martin enough for second spot...

Roy Makins takes a close margin of victory over golden peg Amos...

16 fished

1st. Roy Makins, Fox Match-GOT baits,                                  peg 23         37-12-0
This was a real neck and neck match, the fish didn't seem to want to feed so the fish were very patchy, pellet across to the far bank with a loose fed 4mm hard pellet and 6mm expander down the inner margin, just enough small carp eased the closest of victory's.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                      Golden peg 24         37-08-0
I was watching the last 15 minutes of the match when Martin popped the winning fish off the hook in the dying seconds of the match thus costing him a golden peg, not a happy chap I've got to tell ya, I have never heard language like it, until the final weigh in then you could really hear his disappointment, corn down the inner margin for not enough carp.

3rd. Joung Young, Lake John,                                                  peg 8         36-08-0
Get those odd fish in that escape during the match and the results read completely different as John well knows, and this was the case today as John let a couple of big'ens slip the net, pellet to the far bank.

1st. Alan Milsom, Oakwood Angling,                                        peg 1           57-00-0
Another sellout Saturday and Alan walked into the cafe looking for a ticket but I told him all pegs were full and the only chace he had of getting a ticket was if someone didn't show, well as the draw time became closer Alan got his chance and low and behold done the biz from a good peg it has to be said, he forgot his bait so he had to stock up with meat from the shop on site and finally got into the zone, Alan caught across to the far bank 12m plenty of bites and a good days sport.

2nd. Roy Makins, Fox Match-GOT Baits,                                  peg 6          43-08-0
Roy has drawn ok today and soon set to work netting a few carp, but a huge drought of fish in the midway and latter stage of the match have cost him today, the forecast was rain but instead it was bright sunshine and a cool breeze Roy has caught all over his peg but the better fish were on the feed in the inner margins.

3rd. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,                      Golden peg 23         41-04-0
Ken won it last week and set off to his least favourite peg without any thought of framing he so dislikes this peg but the slow sinking bread done the biz again as the better carp loved it.

1st. Ken Farrell, Browning- Lake John,                                peg 8        77-12-0
Ken complained to me at the end of the match that he was very disappointed that he could only catch his fish in one place and all the other place's were no good, what a terrible shame Ken just think if you didn't catch in that one place either you would have been last and not first you nutter, meat and corn in the one place just left of his peg produced some of the biggest fish in the lake.

2nd. Mark Skeggs, Fox Match-Blackwater,            Golden peg10       51-04-0,
A travelling Mr Skeggs jumped on the M1 back to Northampton minus the golden peg money, on this his first visit back to the lake in many years he just proved to all his old mates that he has still got it, after a winter on the canals this is his first return to a commercial in months and the smirk on his face it looked like he enjoyed it, carp on the long pole meat, pellet and corn.

3rd. John Young, Lake John,                                                peg 12       33-12-0
A steady day on the bank for John it was a smaller stamp of fish being hooked in the corner where he was that made the difference in the weight, further down towards Ken the fish were twice the size, another there abouts performance from John Young.

1st. John Young, Lake John,                                 Golden peg 1        23-04-0,
John has made a habit of taking all of the golden peg money over the past few weeks and the last time was from peg 1, a peg he doesn't really like but he will have to change his mind soon because the peg obviously likes him, today was like a January winters day as the rain hail and wind blew and gusted about the place for the entire match, small carp pellet.

2nd. Tony Pennycook, Lake John,                                     peg 10       21-10-0
Tony looked a bit out of sorts during the cafe breakfast banter, a bit quiet and not his normal self but he approached the match like a poker player keeping his chips close and let the action do the talking, not a big weight from anyone today but the conditions were really bad and Tony even had to retire his umbrella as it was smashed to bits during a gust of wind that made him resemble Mary Poppins as he held on for dear life, Tony if you had caught just one more you would have saved the golden peg you git.

3rd. Roy Makins, Got Baits,                                                 peg 16      14-08-0
Cold wind in the face all day, Roy left his peg more than once and sat in the car for a warm up this was a real winter match, glad I wasn't fishing today.

1st. Steve Goring, J+B Tackle,                                Golden peg 16          42-12-0
Steve is holding form as he heads into the final round of the J+B league next week a true champion, pellet across to the far bank and a bit of corn introduced to select the better carp, I think its fair to say Steve is enjoying his fishing at the moment, look at the smile on his little face.

2nd. John Young, Lake John,                                                peg 1           37-02-0
John also maintains his run of form on a peg he didn't fancy at all, John kept it simple and fished a couple of joints of his pole down the inner margin with pellet to the hook and probably a bit of meat in the equation.

3rd. John Nippress, Lake John,                                            peg 10          31-08-0
John makes this his first return of the year and after a slump of results in previous outings he said it was good to be back on a few fish, simple pellet to the far bank and a few bites were not far away

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                                     peg 24          27-06-0
Non stop victories on the top lake and now all change to the bottom lake and he has the same effect, not just a win but a landslide on another low scoring match, pellet across to start and then a quick look down the inside edge for the bigger carp, they tell me that he lost this amount of fish as well.

2nd. John Young, Lake John,                                                 peg 14           13-10-0
Probably not the best draw today but when the lake has been frozen over for a week you just don't know where the fish will be holding up, caster for John down the track.

1st. Dave King, Debden Angling,                                          peg 8           23-12-0
John Young has reigned supreme the last couple of weeks and today he lost his crown to Dave King who has fished pellet to the far bank and down the track working his lines for the next bite, to catch a fish here today was an achievement I think as the lake was iced over during the week, Dave's pellet approach produced a winter bag of small carp.

Jnt 2nd. Dennis Jarvis, Pro Master-Trabucco,                     peg 3          21-12-0
A dead heat from the two most regulars on the lake, Dennis has caught on corn down the inner margin while Martin has fished a combination of worm and pellet.

4th. John Young, Lake John,                                                 peg 16         17-06-0
Down two from last week, John and the Young's slips down the chart with his chart busting meat and pellet mix to the far bank, I am beginning to sound like an 80's D.J. from top of the pop's, This man has dominated the lake for weeks but he still shows a bit of class by remaining up there, and I must say at the draw everyone thought that this was another week in the bag for him.

1st. John Young, Lake John,                                       peg 24           35-04-0
Last week I sat next to him and he wins, this week he draws my peg from last week and then wins the match and makes me look a right chump in the process, all I can say is that they obviously took their time to swim over my bait and when they did they stayed there all week and waited for him to turn up this Saturday, John has fished a hand full of bait all day just like last week and a meat and pellet cocktail attracted the better fish again...

2nd. Roy Makins, Fox Match-GOT Baits,                    peg 19           34-12-0
Roy is holding form as well and it was one of those days that as the day progressed the colder it got and it was a miracle that any fish fed really Roy has caught down the inner margin long up into the corner with pellet but the maggot would have been shown to the hook as well if I know Roy.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to John on this bitter cold and almost biteless day, the top three did very well today because it was freezing and with snow on the way we must have all been mad, John made his mind up to feed light and keep looking all around his peg for a bite, it worked and there i was next door getting a lesson, small carp in the deepest parts of the peg, John caught on pellet and meat and bagged some golden money as well...

Johnny boy is never too far away from the top slot and every now and then make's it to the very top, it was a meat feast for John down the track and inner margins small carp were hooked most of the match and this peg has just started to show a bit of form since the shorter days have been with us...

The pellet down the inner margins and across to the far bank produced fish in spells but the corn found the better fish on this cloudy and wet windy day, this is a true reflection of the weeks to follow some pegs will bring you a surprise bonus fish when you least expect it.

Last weeks winning peg not that Mark would know because he left early last week due to the fact that he was cold, bless him!, mind you it was cold last week, carp to the far bank when they would be up for a nibble, the fishing was very much like the weather a bit hit and miss.

It was the coldest fishing day of the year so far and anglers were falling fast as the cold wind brought in the icy cold rain, but Paul seemed to keep a few fish interested and tempted them with a pellet to the far bank small carp mainly but a sprinkling of fish various bulked out this incredible winters bag of fish.

2nd. Dave Davis, J+B Tackle,                                           peg 16       36-00-0
Dave has made a come back while his pal is away for his hols and makes a day of it with a few fish on and off through the day and it was the pellet again that seemed to do the trick, small carp across and down the track.

Dave was booked in for next week but a change of plan from him and a cancellation this end made way for a days dangling, peg 5 hasn't shown much form lately so this was a fair performance with pellet to the hook down the track Dave plucked just enough fish to win and it was a good 8lb foul hooked that kept second place away.

2nd. Mark Johnson, Simpsons of Turnford,                       peg 3        31-12-0
A terrible start and not a very good middle had Mark thinking that it was all going to be a waste of time but this lake can be like this and in the last 2 hours the peg showed a few fish and old captain plumrose very nearly made this a victory.

3rd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                                 peg 8        20-04-0
Fresh from his win on Wednesday Martin was up for the job but in all fairness this was not a particular good peg so the pellets were pumped and the corn was open for another 6 hours of competition.

Alan popped down last week on a one off day off from work and seems to have got the bug, and the draw bag was kind as well this peg one is holding a few fish at the moment, with a 8mm cube of meat Alan fished a foot from the far bank and an estimated 60lb at least of quick release fish.

This is a peg that we never put in normally but I fancied a change in the draw bag, and golden peg as well Den has done well but not well enough to win fishing long to the far bank a bit of meat, a bit of corn and a bag of bites.

Old T.P. lost another pound last week but gave himself a boost with a good draw and a few carp were soon found but the wind soon got up and made conditions difficult for all, but this peg can be affected more than most, it's good I was on the bank or your would have been 4th, ha, ha

With the likes of Amos and Gregory away I made the numbers up which is something I can only do in the winter normally, and had a really close match with my old partner Scott Clark on the next peg sharing fish and banter I led with a good start of small carp to the far bank on meat and about mid match Scotty boy was reeling me in and It was probably a short quiet spell of roach snatching that gave me the edge in the end, but this was another close match and a few were in the frame for the first spot, but Scott slept on his belly this night cos his arse was well smacked, unlucky mate!

2nd. Scott Clark, Simpsons of Turnford,                        peg 24         40-08-0
A regular to the Saturday scene and a recognised angler Scott was always going to be a threat and he took his time doing things right with corn and meat to the hook across to the far bank, so although I was concentrating on the job in hand I was keeping my good eye on what the big man was planning being his partner last winter we had talked tactics a lot in the past so I was learning the water that he knows better than me and if the truth be known another half hour and the match would have been his, as the fish turned up in the inside margin and it was one a put, but hay ho you only second and a smack Scotty...

Inner margins seemed to be the most rewarding method for Steve with sweetcorn to the hook the carp came along nice and steady and when they did they were of a decent stamp and fishing the short pole made it all the more secretive as no-one realised that Steve was catching at all, Martin did let Steve know a couple of tricks just before the match and it appeared to pay off, but full credit to ya you made it work and bashed it return...

A bit of a stress on the build up to the match it looked like the day was going to be a bad one but as soon as Mark could get into his stride it was one a put on the meat to the far bank for a nice days carping averaging 2lb to 3lb.

1st. Dennis Jarvis, Pro Master-Trabbucco,                     peg 1         66-00-0
Last week Mark Johnson done the biz on the meat down the centre track and this week it was corn across to the far bank and it would seem the bigger carp at the moment are all hanging out in peg 1, so Den put together a plan and started to catch all his fish tight to the far bank margin.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                             peg 16      61-08-0
All part of the master plan Martin drew last again this week as he does every week and left his breakfast table with those immortal words " I had better go and make a rig", and then spends the rest of the match hooking carp tight across to the far bank on corn just like Mr Jarvis, catching much more than he thought as he always under estimates his total weight by at least 10lb or so.

3rd. Roy Makins, GOT Baits,                                              peg 6        47-04-0
Roy drop's down one place from last week and it might just be that the pellet doesn't quiet have the same effect as the corn on the lake at the moment, catching across and in the inner margins Roy earns himself another couple of bob this week.

The meat down the centre track and this was all because Mark lost a few fish early in the inner margin reeds and decided to fish away from the snags and this proved to be successful, 4mm cubes of meat done the trick and it was a bag of small carp that kept Mark's elastic moving all match.

2nd. Roy Makins, GOT Baits,                                            peg 23         40-08-0
I don't think Roy had thought he had done too well as he made a speedy exit from the fishery due to a call form the boss indoors so as he left i told him I would weigh his fish and let him know how well he had done, well second place weren't too bad Roy and a few money vouchers await you, pellet down the edge for those carp again.

Tony had a Cormorant in his peg all day which affected his performance but the cormorant (Ken Farrell) will be in Holland next week Tony had several fish across to the far bank but Ken kept fish on the edge of the boundary line between the pegs and probably took enough fish away from Tony to win the match... another close match.

To say this peg has been off the pace is an under statement when the likes of Andy Gregory the other week achieved only 3lb 12oz's from this very peg, but it wasn't just sit down and bag up as Paul found out for the early part of the match it was just small carp to 4oz's until Paul switched up in the water and sprayed pellet and the fish very kindly accommodated the high bait and help pip first spot from the GOT baits sponsored Mr. Makins, picture above is 18lb of winter roach earlier on in the year.

Cold day again on the lake and this winter is really going on and on this year but with Martin's good luck on the draw and a little bit of angling ability his form is holding up at the moment, corn down the inside edge produced a few bites late on but until then it was a bit a difficult day, but you have just got to hang in there because these fish can turn up and feed at any time.
