Clarky provides a bream and tench masterclass

14 fished 

1st. Steve Clark, Maver Image,                            peg 33   124-00-0
Sandwiched between two golden pegs, Mr Clark caught consistently all day. Corn fished in the margins and meat at 6m for two bulging nets of bream and tench to 3lb plus a 9lb carp.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                peg 39   114-00-0 
Five carp lost and five banked, three of which went well over 10lb. Martin plans to use the prize money to repair his van, which broke down and had to be towed to the lake.

3rd. Mathew Hart, Princess Alexandra,              peg 13    101-12-0  
For some strange reason this week the fish seemed smaller on this side of the lake. Meat at 13m and close in done the damage for Matt.

Graham Dack has to get a third keepnet as the feeding frenzy shows no signs of relenting.

19 fished 

1st. Graham Dack, Middy,                                    peg 13     189-00-0
Robin on the next peg complained about the constant ping of catapult elastic. But in truth it only meant one thing. The rest were bang in trouble. Meat shallow at 13m for Graham. Feeding, striking, netting, baiting up, shipping out, feeding, striking…well you get the picture.

2nd. Robin Driscoll, Andy Findlay promotions,    peg 12     148-08-0 
Robin seems to have this place sussed now. Corn and micros on the 6m pole line once again done the damage. One bonus carp and bulging nets of bream and tench to 5lb.

3rd. Len Goulding, Simpsons Angling Direct,      peg 33     144-08-0   It’s official. His new nickname is Lenny ‘five carp’ after he dragged out a succession of 10lb+ monsters from the margins to go with almost another 100lb of bream and tench. Pole and Corn.

4th. Steve Clark, Maver Image,                             peg 38    116-00-0

The boss is back

22 fished 

1st. Colin Bartlett, Lake John,                           peg 34     151-8-0
One better than last week, pole and meat for a 10lb+ carp, 2-3lb bream and the odd bonus tench and a shiny £1 coin from Alec, who used to be good here.

2nd. Graham Dack, Middy,                                 peg 11    135-8-0 
Graham is rarely out of the frame these days and once again showed his class. Fishing meat and corn he caught a bonus carp and very quickly filled up two keepnets with bream and tench.

3rd. John Weedon, Oakwood Angling,             peg 32    129-0-0   John likes to pop down every so often and relieve the boys of a few shillings.

Anglers put a staggering 1791lb on the scales as Matt Hart almost lands the top lake match record

17 fished

1st. Mathew Hart, Princess Alexandra,         peg 34      238-8-0
Matt’s had a colossal weight here, more or less catching 2-3lb bream one a chuck, fishing a foot deep at 13m on meat. Without losing two 10lb+ carp he would have stolen last year’s record set by Graham (256lb). Well done Matty.

2nd. Colin Bartlett, Lake John,                       peg 36     180-8-0 
Another Lake John personal best this. Tried to catch the leader by getting the fish in closer at 6m, but the fish were slightly smaller and not coming as quickly.

3rd. Graham Dack, Middy,                              peg 12      159-14-0
Graham’s worked hard for these, feeding meat every fish and fishing corn to the hook for bream, skimmers and the odd bonus tench.

4th. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John,             peg 32      152-0-0

It’s a Middy clean sweep as the lake record holder reclaims top spot

14 fished 

1st. Graham Dack, Middy,                                 peg 32     166-0-0
Graham fished meat at 6m to start with before attacking the margins with corn for a bream to 3lb, tench to 4lb, roach, rudd  and crucians.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John,               peg 8      125-8-0 
Again Alec started short at 6m but found it slow. A quick switch to 13m shallow provided better action, but not enough to overhaul the winner.

3rd. Len Goulding, Simpsons Angling Direct,  peg 34    116-8-0   A short chuck of the feeder to the island provided an early bonus 10lb+ carp. Bream and tench then kept Len busy all day.

4th. Ken Farrell, Lake John,                                peg 39    114-4-0 

5th. Dennis Jarvis, Pole Master Trabucco,        peg 36    105-0-0

Matty Hart makes it three-in-a-row with the best of four 100lb+ hauls

17 fished 

1st. Mathew Hart, Princess Alexandra,            peg 34     181-12-0
Fishing meat at 13 metres Matt’s averaged 30lb of tench and bream an hour which takes some doing. Started catching on the deck but soon had the fish competing up-in-the-water.

2nd. Robin Driscoll, Andy Finlay promotions, peg 29    127-4-0 
Robin’s natural tendency is not to add pole sections unnecessarily, so he settled down for a comfortable session on the 6 metre line and never looked back. What a lovely ton and no carp either.

3rd. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John                  peg 8     119-8-0   Having shown the boys how to do it and ripped up this venue for most of last year, Alec was the first to congratulate Matt and Robin. Pole and meat approach again for Middy’s top rod.

It’s another repeat performance and on a day when 101lb was only good enough for third  

17 fished 

1st. Mathew Hart, Princess Alexandra,         peg 30      131-12-0
Matt’s on a bit of a roll at present. Same game plan as last week, caster short for roach and rudd up to 1lb, then hitting the killing zone at 13m with meat shallow for bream and tench to 4lb. This was a big net of fish without a single carp in sight.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John,            peg 39      102-12-0 
Mr Middy just managed to pip his good mate the other Mr Middy. Alternating between meat and corn fished down the margins. 

3rd. Graham Dack, Middy,                              peg 36       101-4-0
Fishing his customary meat approach, the lake record holder’s done a ton and still only finished third such is the form of the top lake at the moment.

Matty Hart blows ‘em away with a cracking ton.  

16 fished 

1st. Mathew Hart, Princess Alexandra,             peg 13    113-8-0
A quick look on corn in the margins and out by the island on the feeder, before settling down at 13m on the pole. Matt has bagged a 9lb carp and had non-stop action with tench, bream, skimmers and roach.

2nd. Graham Dack, Middy                                  peg 28      97-0-0 
Following on from his superb win on Monday, Graham nearly done the biz again with another ton. Started  fishing shallow for the odd fish, before lengthening up and really motoring with meat on the drop.   

3rd. Ken Farrell, Lake John,                               peg 26      80-8-0
The old stager rolled back the years and put in a vintage performance on the pole. No carp just an honest net of bream and tench to 3lb.

The Martin Amos show comes to town again 

17 fished 

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                                peg 32      90-08-0
Martin was very quickly into the action, swinging the pole up towards the pump house he had 50lb of carp in the net within the first two hours. When that line dried up he switched between pellet and corn for skimmers and the odd bonus tench.

2nd. Len Goulding, Simpsons Direct Angling,                  peg 26      59-04-0 
He’s back and about time. The fish haven’t showed in the margins today so Len’s had to keep swapping and changing to keep the bites coming. The turning point came when he spotted carp feeding and cast down towards the bay for two 10lb plus specimens. 

3rd. Mark Parris, Lake John,                                                peg 7       59-00-0
Mark really fancied this peg, but in truth the fish never really got their heads down. He still managed to bag a couple of big carp, before losing a 20 pounder which killed things for a while. If only those bream had moved in closer it could have been a different story.

4th. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire,                                                peg 13     58-00-0

Graham Dack has to use all his experience to stay ahead of a chasing pack

15 fished 

1st. Graham Dack, Middy,                                                   peg 33      83-0-0
My his own admission it took a little while to work out. A run of three or four fish, and then nothing. With warmer weather conditions it was always going to be meat shallow for Graham, but he had to constantly move about. And he still managed to lose three carp.

2nd. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                              peg 11     78-0-0 
When Lake John’s resident bagger put a second net out at two o’clock you could hear the groans around the lake. However it was to spell disaster. Martin spent the next two hours scratching around for about 15lb as the peg dried up.

3rd. Alan Hart, Princess Alexandra,                                 peg 13     76-12-0
A very good feeder peg, with a very good tip angler. It don’t take a lot of working out. Looks like a few extra dishes will be added to tonight’s Chinese.

With the Fish to Win Pairs match on the top lake, the boys had a go on the snake lake today and there’s not many people that know this water better than John who is a regular on the Saturday scene. Carp, carp and more carp. Well done mate.

2nd. Alan Hart, Princess Alexandra,                             peg 12    63-8-0 
There wasn’t a feeder peg in sight for the quiver tip specialist but that didn’t matter, as Al shipped out the pole and done the biz. A couple more of those six pounders and he would have pinched it.

3rd. John Nipress, Lake John,                                       peg 16    43-6-0
Nice to see John contesting the spoils again, bronze medal and a few beer tokens.

Clive goes hungry as he sets Lake John ablaze

13 fished

1st. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire,                                                 peg 8      138-04-0
Clive’s spent an hour on the 9m line, corn over pellet, before alternating left and right in the margins. After that he never looked back. One carp, tench, bream to 4lb and a bulging net of silvers. In fact he saw so much action he didn’t even have time to eat his sandwiches.

2nd. Graham Dack, Middy,                                                    peg 30    118-04-0
A welcome return for the lake match record holder. Graham has fished an out and out meat attack, but said the best decision he made was dropping short on the inside line.

3rd. Mick Scanlon, Oakwood Angling,                                 peg 13      86-00-0
Two carp plus one that shot off with his the top eight sections of his pole. Luckily Mick had his bomb rod to hand and a quick cast retrieved the pole before it filled with water and sank without a trace. Oh, and he got the 20lb culprit in as well, although it didn’t count.

1st. Matthew Hart, Princess Alexandra Hosp.                       peg 32        132-00-0
Swinging the pole down to his right, Matt set his stall out with corn over micro for big fish and he wasn’t disappointed. Three monster carp, one in the keepnet and lots of tench, skimmers and bream.
2nd. Gary Miller, VDE Maver Image,                                       peg 12        123-04-0
Gary has had a lot more, no carp, Started off fishing to depth, then read it perfectly as the fish started moving up in the water, meat, meat and more meat.
3rd. Terry Pritlove, Lake John,                                                peg 9            90-00-0

15 fished

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                                peg 11        94-08-0
Having used up his micros early, Martin was forced to feed 4mm hard pellets, expanders and anything else he could find. Then, for good measure, he snapped another power top this time on a 17lb carp, but with elastic intact preceded to land it. Legend.
2nd. Mick Scanlon, Oakwood Angling,                              peg 13         82-14-0
Desperately unlucky today, Mick is another angler who is at the top of his game at present, 7m pellet line for a shed load of tench, skimmers, roach and those handy bonus slabs.
3rd. Mark Parris, Lake John,                                               peg 8           81-12-0
Just edged out in a very tight frame, Mark’s pole float spent more time underwater than above it, no cheating carp for a good honest day’s fishing, pellet and corn.

Didn’t arrive at his peg until 9.00, but fished a blinder. Pole at 7m for two nets and two weighs. At the end those skimmers, bream and tench were falling over each other to get to his pellet bait.

Jt 1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                             peg 28          85-14-0
Well we had to stop him somehow. Martin tried the meat but the fish were coming faster to the pellet, dropped inside for the later stages and started bagging with slabs and one 10lb+ bonus carp.
3rd. Robin Driscoll, Andy Finlay Promotions,                    peg 7           72-08-0
Inspired by watching his beloved Chelski go four points clear last night Robin ‘long-lined’ it close in for tench to 4lb, plus bream and skimmers.

18 fished

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries                                          peg 10         61-00-0
Drawing next door to the peg he won out of last week and out of the wind, Martin didn’t even need to make rig adjustments, pellet over pellet, with the customary long and short line. A lost carp killed the peg early on, but the afternoon was non-stop bream and skimmer action. If he wins next week we might have to put a plaque on a wheelie-bin.

2nd. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire                                                         peg 14         54-14-0
When he’s not fighting fires he’s battling bream, golden tench and double figure carp. Having left his casters at home today, Clive stuck it out on the pole and pellet and pushed Mr Amos all the way.

3rd. Mark Parris, Lake John,                                                           peg 13        44-10-0
A welcome return for Mark and he’s straight back in the groove, cone feeder to the island saw him start like an express train. When that slowed, a switch to the pole line kept the bream, tench and silvers coming.

Last week’s top rod is on a roll, pole at pellet fished at 17m and 6m, but it was the shorter line that done the damage, bream and one carp to beat a very strong field.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John,                                              peg 28        44-08-0
Back-bank today. Alec had to chop and change a bit before he got it sorted. And he never cheated. Maggot short for no carp but a shed load of silvers.

18 fished

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries                                          peg 39            49-04-0
With the wind blowing into this bank, today’s match saw four anglers in pegs 35 – 39 lose a total 11 carp between them. Only Martin got one in and he would have made it two if his match kit hadn’t decided to explode on him. Pole and pellet for a nice bag of silvers and bream.

2nd. Ken Farrell, Lake John,                                                        peg 14            44-08-0
Kenny’s had a lovely day fishing the waggler, loose feeding 6mm pellet for skimmers. He even had the cheek to ask if anyone remembered when he was good.

Now anyone that knows Al knows he likes a feeder peg. So he wasn’t best pleased with the draw, but he borrowed some maggots and sat it out on the pole, catching silvers and the odd brucie bonus.

The 2009 Fish to Win champ takes top honours

1st. Alec Roberts, Middy/Lake John,                                             peg 36          48-08-0
A good angler in last week’s winning peg, but Alex did it his way, swerving the feeder for his trusted Maver 481 with maggot over groundbait at 8m. Despite not having a single bite for the first hour, he stuck at it and soon had those famous Lake John slabs queuing up. Well done sir.

2nd. Ken Farrell, Lake John,                                                           peg 10          31-00-0
A positive attack saw the waggler master picking up a little brown envelop. 6mm pellets for all things silver. Kenny admitted afterwards that he regretted not setting up a feeder. One ‘quick release’ carp on the last cast, but it did not really matter. A good result on a day when many struggled

3rd. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire,                                                           peg 13          26-12-0
Clive can be excused for feeling a touch of déjà vu. Third again, 8 oz off last week’s weight, he executed the same game plan perfectly, alternating single/double maggot and groundbait feeder three rod lengths off the island, it wasn’t long before he started connecting with proper net fish.

Mr Fuller rides into town and nicks the silver

12 fished

1st. Colin Fuller, Old Town Angling,                                     peg 33          46-00-0
Another cold overnight snap and a draw in the slightly deeper water means that you’ve always got half a chance. But, you’ve still got to do it right. And that’s exactly what Colin did. Pellet on the pole at 8m for a decent net of silvers with the odd bonus bream making a guest appearance.

2nd. Dennis Lipscombe, Oakwood Angling,                        peg 3            35-08-0
Dennis was one of the early pioneers of the summer meat attack that made all the headlines last year. Today he showed his all-round versatility with a 6mm over 4mm pole and pellet approach. Good to see the lessons all those years ago with Jack Charlton are finally starting to pay off.

3rd. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire,                                                  peg 36          27-04-0
This is another in-form angler at the moment, second last week and in the frame again today. Single maggot and groundbait feeder did the damage this time, cast just short of the island for one 10lb+ carp and a bag of silvers.

Gordon Bullock finds form and even finds two bonus carp....

1st. Gordon Bullock, Terrapins-Redbridge Lakes,         peg 11      51-10-0
Gordon restrained from using the 17m pole today and fished a more relaxed 14m with maggot and ground bait Gordy filled the peg up with feed and then dropped the feeder out towards the island where there were a couple of carp laying in wait, a great start to the highest scoring match of the new year, but it wasn't going to be all his own way as the Image Captain a couple of pegs up made himself very busy.... 

2nd. Steve Clark, Maver-Image,                                         peg 13        49-00-0 
No carp for Steve just a bag of skimmers to start and then the bigger bream moved in and stayed and if the match was to have lasted one bite longer Clarky could have taken the glory, maggot and ground bait. 

3rd. Mick Scanlan, Oakwood Angling,                              peg 38       38-14-0

This man has a great run of form and taking down several names along the way the very modest fireman has approached the Wednesday scene with a two pint caster approach at 6m and he just plod's away catching everything in the the peg, this week it looked like the wheels might have fallen off but Clive had a great last hour catching big bream and even a last cast carp just for good measure, lucky old unlucky peg 13 great victory Clive well done mate...

2nd. Alan Hart, Princess Alexandra Hospital,       peg 29        37-02-0
Alan fished the feeder for majority of the match as the gust of the wind was so spiteful poles were always going to be in danger of breaking, dead red maggots to the hook and micro pellet in the feeder made for a busy match, skimmers and one bonus carp

3rd. Dicky Carr, Drennan,                                        peg 34       36-04-0
Dicky has finally drew a peg he wanted and again spent most of his time on the feeder as the pole was impossible to hold past 6m, one bonus carp and silvers for the England Veteran.

1st. Steve Clark, Maver -Image,                         peg 27        38-08-0
You wouldn't have put this peg at the top of the draw list except for the fact the wind was off his back and presentation would be a bit easier, the wind had a cold bite to it and even though the sun was out it could have been warmer, long pole for Steve as he scratched his way to the top of the leader board maggot and caster and a very careful approach, skimmers and silvers.

2nd. John Young, Lake John,                             peg 34        31-08-0
Maggot for John and again careful feeding just to keep the fish coming, its not about bonus fish now just about keeping the bites coming a stiff left to right cross wind kept the long pole out of action but the fish are still happy to feed close in on the 6m lines.

3rd. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,              peg 36       30-08-0
You cant keep him off this peg at the moment and the waggler master made it work again, 6mm pellet and positive feeding is always the Farrell approach and it keeps him in the frame again this week, skimmers and the odd bonus bream.

1st. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,             peg 34        63-08-0
Ken has made the waggler work for the past couple of weeks now and has been netting an average of 60lb per visit, at last all his efforts pay off fishing 6mm expander fed through a catapult and either 6mm pellet or corn to the hook Ken kept the fish flowing steady all match bream and tench mainly with a bonus 10lb'er.

2nd. Clive Bailey, Herts Fire,                             peg 13       54-12-0
Clive has had a great year and sitting next to the Fish to Win champion 2009 on the same peg he earned his title and £3k this was a true test of ability Clive fed caster all match at 6m and had bream and skimmers feeding very well indeed, no carp for Clive made for a good close match with Mr Middy and with great skill and ability the battle was won as Clive pipped Alec by just a few pounds, and as the results were in Alec was the first to congratulate the Hertfordshire fire man.

3rd. Alec Roberts, Middy-Lake John,               peg 14     51-12-0
Fish to Win Champion 2009 had a great match on Sunday and to draw the same peg Wednesday was amazing, but how the mighty fall as he received a reality check the fire man next door matched Alec fish for fish, Alec fished maggot and caster and was full of admiration for Clive as he pipped him to second spot very sporting Mr Middy you the man.

1st John Coster, Fox Match,                                      peg 32       80-00-0
This peg has been holding form for a few weeks now and the right angler will always make a good peg pay off, well my pal Bomber put in the leg work to get this peg producing and it was 14m up the peg to the inner margin with corn on the hook that gave the big man a great early start with carp all over the peg John kept looking on the shorter pole lines but with no real results so the margin line became the most productive peg with three other 10lb plus carp hooked and released making this a great result on the week before the big £3,000 final which will be hosted on the top lake this Sunday 25th where 20 angler will be fishing for a great pre Christmas prize, its fair to say if the carp didn't show this would have been a completely different result, well done big man.

2nd. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,                    peg 36      64-12-0
Ken has fished his trusted waggler and once again has had good results with corn to the hook and loose feeding 6mm pellet he has been a busy man but this is also a story of the fish that got away and although Ken landed two bonus carp of 10lb he lost many more and if only he could have landed the one's that got away..................if only.

1st. Matthew Hart, Princess Alexandra Hospital,                   peg 34        87-00-0
Mat has been in the top six every week for weeks and it makes you wonder if he has been waiting for the golden peg all a long before he snatched the victory, an early look on the feeder started things for Mat but when the long and short pole line seemed very slow Mat decided that he best stay on the tip and try his luck, the worm has been very productive of late but it was a single grain of corn with a short 6" hook link that done the damage, micro pellet and crumb in an open end feeder and the fish just kept coming, plenty of skimmers and two small net able carp + a big bonus 10lb catch and release and a £250 pay day in with the deal.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Middy-Lake John,                                      peg 29         70-08-0
As the Fish to Win final approaches all eyes are on Roberts and the thing with this lake that alot of people don't know, you would draw this peg another day and really not fancy it but the wind had changed and the fish just move round, Alec kept buzzing in the margins early and moved on to his longer 6m and 13m lines after the first hour, pellet to the hook and a careful as you go feed approach but its not winter yet and you still need a bit of bait to keep the fish in your peg, one bonus carp for Mr. Middy and two more that let go + a great day on the silvers.

3rd. Ken Farrell, Browning-Lake John,                                      peg 36        66-00-0
Ken had a great match with no carp getting in the way and for all those Fish to Win finalist reading this Ken caught all match on the waggler so you tell me the best method at the moment three different style in the frame, Ken loose fed 6m expander pellet and a grain of corn to the hook and he got soaked because he couldn't put his brolley up bless him...

2nd. Matthew Hart, Princess Alexandra Hospital,   peg 30     51-00-0

A bit of a carp dominated match this week as Clive hooked and landed five of the catch and release 10lb bonus fish, only 43lb of bits to go with them but it was a sweet victory all the same and he soon celebrated with a banana and an apple like he does every match win or loose, corn over micro pellet at 6m.

Mat has another great day on the lake framing again with his worm approach on the pole and micro pellet in the feeder and worm to the hook on a short under arm chuck, mixed fish without any carp meant Mat was always going to be off the pace as the bonus carp are really dominating the top placings at the moment.

21 fished

1st. Matthew Hart, Princess Alexandra Hospital,          peg 32      143-00-0
Firstly to explain the the shot gun feeder, it is a open end feeder on one end and on the other it is filled in, it looks like a maggot feeder but in the centre there is a sprung loaded internal floor that compresses when full of feed but release's once it hit the bottom of the lake, very snazy Mat caught early on pole down the inside edge and at short range but the fish were of no great size so last years trick was to drop the feeder on the pole line and it was this revised method that de the biz, tench, bream and three great big carp all around the 20lb mark gave Mat a huge advantage, meat and corn to the hook.

2nd. Robin Driscoll, RAD Law,                            Golden peg 11     114-08-0
Robin nearly had his golden peg, he has had a great match which was a carp dominated six big ens and three that escaped but Robin stepped up his tackle to deal with these big fish that had taken over his match, like Matthew he has cheated his way into the frame catching these carp but fair play you have still got to get them in, it was Halibut meat to the hook at 6m that kept em interested, Robin said after the match, "It was my goal to break through the 100lb barrier, I am over the moon", well done Mr. Driscoll you are a fine example of anglers that are learning there trade and putting the so called named anglers in the shade, three cheers for Robin............................bastard,.............. hip, hip, hooray

A form peg as Rob Bishop claimed second place last week from this peg, but take nothing away from Graham as he caught fish from the off and as the day got going the fish were in a feeding frenzy and with the slight over cast conditions there couldn't have been any better chance to smash Mick's record weight from last week, and smash it he did, meat at 5m and 6m up in the water, and its the meat that is sorting out the bigger fish at one stage the wind got up and Graham just decided to fish closer with just his top kit and the fish just kept coming, no tench, no carp just skimmers and bream and a satisfied winner, as the final bag of fish hit the scales the was a very well deserved round of aplause for a job well done.

2nd. Micky Hood, Bowlers,                             peg 11      163-00-0
A champion and a record holder last week and this week reduced to second and no record to uphold, but another great days fishing slightly different to last week still fishing meat but it was on the deck at 6m yet again a huge bag of silvers and just like Graham it was up off the peg to retrieve a third net to kept the fish safe and well as the last two hours of the match were beginning to close in, Micky Hood ex-record holder.....

3rd. Alec Roberts, Middy,                               peg 9        162-04-0
Alec's highest ever match weight at Lake John and for this he can only manage a third, Alec has been breaking the ton for the last two months and has really got this place sorted out, the tried and tested sort meat line didn't work and therefore an hour of the match was wasted trying to get the fish to feed but like a real pro it didn't take him long to work it out and the new feed line was at 13m up in the water with meat to the hook and loose fed...

1st. Micky Hood, Bowlers,                             peg 38       172-04-0
This was truly a landmark day in the history of Lake John and the match scene as the top five all topped 100lb, Micky who is not one to moan at all about any thing started his match on the meat at 7m and hard on the bottom, it only took 15 minutes before he realized that the fish were high in the water and continued the rest of the match at depths of 12" to 18" loose feeding meat by hand, this formula was the winning method last week by his mate Alec Roberts, skimmers to start and bream started to come thick and fast with the odd tench and crusian, after the match Micky told me that he put at least 50lb on the scales in the last hour, what a days fishing I think its home for a lie down....

2nd. Rob Bishop, MAP,                                  peg 36      143-08-0
Rob did a reckie last Friday and this was the first time he had seen the lake, so to place second on his first visit is a massive achievement, Rob and Micky did have a team talk before the match and Rob who knows his way around the match scene soon picked it up and was ahead of the winner up until the last hour of the match, this Puddle Dock star will probably be booking in again is my guess, skimmers and bream short on the 6m line and yes it was the meat again.

3rd. Graham Dack, Middy,                              peg 7        134-12-0

Off the scene for a couple of weeks this was a welcome return as Mat admitted he has had a great days sport as he placed his second net in the water at 1pm this was a true indication the total weight was going to be close to the 100lb, Two nets are a must this time of the year keeping fish welfare the main priority, meat at 13m was the only way he could get a bite after trying the closer line's that proved to be very slow, bream and tench were in good supply along with crusian carp upto 2lb.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Middy,                                                      peg 14         90-08-0

1st. Graham Dack, Middy,                                        peg 32          120-00-0
This is the third victory in a row making Mr Dack the lastest member of the three in a row club and his team mate was only one peg away and he also bagged 100lb of silvers, Graham has started the past few weeks on the maggot close in the inner margins and then progressed onto the longer 6m meat line well this week was no different and it was probably the early fish that gave him the edge in the closing stage of the match, pellet seemed to be a no, no so the main effort was put on the 6m line, silvers and a few tench were readily available and to top things off a 12lb common was the icing on the cake this is a Middy take over.

2nd. Alec Roberts, Mr Middy,                                   peg 33        103-04-0
Al started the match in slow motion as did a lot of people but the Middy man soon found his feet and managed to put a few fish together no carp for Alec but big tench and bream were queuing nicely come the half way stage of the match, meat blew out so the trusted 4mm expander was put to work and yet another 100lb was put on the scales making this Alec's fifth runner up slot in as many matches.

Jay was here a couple of weeks ago and managed a section win with 80lb so to break 100lb of silvers on only his second visit is great angling, mind you he comes from the Tylers Common top men and he has taken more than his fair share of info from the likes of Roberts and Dack, long pole on the meat caught the bream and the tench on a top draw peg 14, well done young jay.

Last week Robert found a few fish in the inner margins that got him out of trouble so with this info and a very good corner peg it was a great opportunity to make the peg work to the max, the mandatory skimmers arrived first along with the bream and the tench but this action soon put the carp on the feed and "Gobber", managed to catch and release four of these huge creatures, pellet on the long pole down the inner margin....

2nd. Gary Miller, Image-Maver-Van Den Eynde,                  peg 30          94-10-0
Gary is catching a few fish at the moment and pellet seemed to out fish the meat this week and the shorter lines didn't have the same effect as we have been used to, Gary quickly worked it out that the fish were more comfortable at 13m and proceeded to line em up, a short spell up in the water produced a few bites but it was quiet right, a proper days fishing for the Miller man.

3rd. Graham Dack, Middy,                                                       peg 11          89-04-0
The Tyler's Common champ is slowly working it all out, and this is probably his best draw during his time at Lake John so he was always going to be up there, If you can manage to frame in one of these match's now at the lake you really are a worthy contender as the quality of angler has now reached an all time high, its taken years for the likes of Graham to realise the full potential of the lake and I think he likes it....

Al has made this place his second home after the Tylers Common venue that is on his door step, and a place he has dominated for many a match, a smart match for Mr Middy changing from meat to pellet at the right time to keep the fish coming, all lines were exploited to the full and the last hour on the pellet put a massive weight boosting bag of bream together, one more fish would have had Mr Bracey panicing, long pole.

Mat drew peg 13 last week and this area wasn't that great, but in true Lake John fashion you just don't know where the next match will be won from so on the draw Mat expressed his views on what he thought was a bad draw and was even considering going home, this as he knows is not an option when the fishing is progressively getting this good after a great steady pattern of winter fishing, 4mm and 6mm expander pellets on the short 6m line done the biz and the financial gain should leave enough change to purchase a huge lump of humble pie.

Back from a week in Whiteacres Martin soon wanted to forget that and got straight back into the action and found early on in the match that the better fish were close to the margins at 6m, and like the winner it was the bigger bream and tench that were on the feed and feasting on plenty of 4mm expander pellets.

This peg was catching the brunt of the gusting winds and John had almost no chance of fishing the long pole, so John pursued a shorter line just right of his peg and a longer line down the bank in the inner margin, pellet was the hook bait for the early part of the match but switching hook bait is key to bigger fish and John knows this so a switch to corn over a bed of micro pellet kept bigger bream coming and two big carp were added to his total by the mid way mark one cracked his pole and made for a careful retrieve, just the sort of luck you need on these open match's sometimes, a great days fishing on not such a great day...

Fishing the feeder for the first hour the tip was busy and kept going round skimmers were queing up but this was only ever going to be a brief method as Mr. Miller knows matches are always going to be won on the pole at the moment at least, a change at 11am produced a busy spell of bites which maintained for the most of the match and the bait was a real mixture of corn, pellet and even meat created fish, no carp but a lost tench of 4lb popped the hook at the net in the final minutes of the match cost Miller the first place...

Mat likes this peg and not having packed the usual caster required, Mat had to devise a new method of bagging the better fish that gather on the inner reed margin, Meat was the answer and after a disastrous and untidy start losing a carp short and snagging rigs Mat had to compose himself and re-tackled he fished 6m in open water and has had an amazing match skimmers and bream were plentiful, this was a great performance today and a real example of how quick you can build a weight when those bigger bream drift over your feed.

Amos blew out on this peg on Sunday which was the last round of the winter league and this down turn of form cost him the series so I went into the peg with a little apprehension, potting in some 4mm and micro on the 13m line the small skimmers were soon on the feed but it was the big ens that I needed so a much shorter 7m line with micro's 4mm's and this time corn to the hook sorted out the better fish in the last half of the match, even tench were feeding with the bigger bream, so I ended up beating Mr. Middy by a 1lb and earned an extra 50p.

Peg 34 again, pellet again, a framing weight again and a golden peg again, this man is well and truly in the groove, 14m on the long pole potting in 4mm expander pellets and micro pellet combined, skimmers and bream with a bonus tench.

3rd. Dennis Lipscombe, Oakwood Angling,                        peg 35        39-00-0
"Mucker", since Den has been back he has made the frame most weeks with his 6mm pellet approach a longer wait for a bite but always a bigger fish when you get the bites and he's ability to draw is still there as both sides of him had top weights as well, so you know if you draw next to Lipscombe you gonna have a good day.

Steve Clark, Image-Van Den Eynde,                       peg 26         38-08-0
This man is unstoppable at the moment with his pellet approach and the trick seems to be don't over feed the peg at the start and apply your bait very carefully, skimmers and bream were almost waiting in a queue for Clarkie to sit on his box and he was taking full advantage of it, the longest pole at 16m was Steve's target zone and it looks like the fishery is coming out of winter mode.

There was no match last week due to the heavy snow fall and freezing condition's kept everyone away from the lake...

As the conditions were looking to finally improve there was a massive ice over which made the fishing hard work all over again. This sudden freeze meant that it was an early start ice breaking for me in the boat as the water temperatures didn't raise above 2.7 degrees C all day , this was a cold night again........

1st. Steve Clark, Maver-Image-Van den Eynde,                           peg 10        18-08-0
Two weeks ago Steve left the lake a champion before the big freeze and it was the early action on the pole this week that secured Steve another win, first bite on the 16m pole netted Clarky a skimmer soon followed by a 18lb carp, yes a carp unbelievable in this weather but the 4mm pellet was the hook bait whilst it was a bed of micro pellet was spread out and left to simmer, the carp was a real bonus but the stamp of the fish hooked on the pellet were of a net table quality, two out of two for the Image Team captain.

2nd. Stuart Bracey, Dynamite Baits,                                              peg 35        12-02-0
Never met Stuart before today and what a nice chap as he embarked on his first Lake John open under the strict supervision of his pal Clarky, Stu got into a flow very early cupping in micro pellet and hooking 4mm expander the fish didn't jump on the hook but formed an orderly queue, and he had an honest bag of fish with no great big bonus fish, micro pellet was loose fed at 16m a whole metre longer than the champion of the current time Martin Amos the most on form man of the moment.

3rd. Gary Miller, Van Den Eynde-Fox Match,                                peg 4           8-06-0
Ice covered gary's peg for the early part of the match and has probably cost him a place or two pinkie and ground bait were doing the business on one of Gary's least favourite pegs, skimmers and roach on the short pole line.

Ice has gone and it has been replaced by ice cold rain water so the catch rates are still a little slow...

1st. Steve Clark, Maver-Image-Van den Eynde,                      peg 38       26-04-0
Steve hasn't been here since before Christmas so this was a little present to himself a good form peg lately and Steve only needs a slight indication as to the current method and he's away, catching steady all match on the long pole and pellet it was very much a fish a chuck all day, skimmers and roach, welcome back Clarky.

2nd. Dennis Lipscombe, Oakwood Angling,                            peg 10       24-10-0
"Mucker", is Den's little catch phrase and as i was drawn next to him today I was getting it in good volume, Den stuck to his 4mm and 6mm pellet approach and just sat it out for the bites to come along, there weren't that many but the fish were decent size skimmers, well done Mucker!

3rd. Mick Scanlan, Oakwood Angling,                                      peg 32       17-08-0
Mick gets himself back into the fold soon after the sad lost of his father on Sunday morning, sorry to hear your sad news mate, Mick likes his winter fishing and is always there abouts in the frame this time of the year so a third on a terrible wet and dismal day was a good performance, pellet on the long pole.

Breaking Ice again as the temperature plummeted over night, the weather man got it wrong again...

1st. John Hunt, Brentwood Angling,                                          peg 33         17-04-0
John young has started to find his feet on the lake now and not only doing well in the winter league but enjoying his Wednesdays as well, a great draw for John up in peg 33 a good deep water peg but with temperatures up and down like this makes the fishing a bit unpredictable and the fish are reluctant to feed, John fished the pole and pellet and only a small offering to try and get the fish on the feed and it took all match because going into the last hour John claimed only 4lb in his net, the better fish did turn up thankfully to save his blushes.

2nd. Mark Parris, Lake John,                                         Golden peg 13         16-14-0
Mark had his first real bash on the top lake last week and managed a second in section so to draw a golden peg he was in with a real chance, ice covered Mark's peg to start with and it didn't look good for the Chingford man but putting the feeder out looking and working his feed lines snared Mark a bonus tench you should have seen his little face light up, but the bulk of his weight was on the long pole at 13m, maggot over ground bait and the tench spotted a piece of corn on a hair rig, a real carp anglers trick...

A decent angler would have won out of this peg, you've lost it Amos.

Golden peg Amos remains on form with his trusty pellet approach as the match proceeded in thick freezing fog...

1st. Martin Amos, Bedwell Fisheries,                      Golden peg 32           24-00-0,
The weather kept the lakes frozen solid all last week and with a mild front forecast we all expected to enjoy a days fishing without ice breaking well we were wrong cat ice had covered the entire lake and for some it was a task to clear, Martin had a plan for the ice as he scooped a big bucket of water and kept hurling it out to almost full pole length very clever, two lines at 13m one with ground bait the other with pellet in the deeper water and 2 hours in the pellet was doing the business as it always does for him, skimmers and roach on the long pole, and a big pay day of £250.

2nd. Colin Bartlett, Lake John-J+B Tackle,                           peg 39           21-00-0
A good draw as this was the only peg to produce a bite last week, feeder early kept me busy for the first hour and then it was a slowly, slowly approach with the feed and a single red maggot to the hook on the long pole skimmers and some very active hungry roach, it was a fine line between feeding the roach off and not over feeding the skimmers and spooking the peg, probably didn't do it quiet right today letting the Amos in for the big haul...

3rd. Kenny Farrell, Browning-Lake John,                              peg 3            17-06-0
Ken seemed to enjoy himself catching a roach a put for the first half of the match but it has probably cost him a place looking for the skimmers that were not there, the right thing to do is look but for how long, Ken had the roach queing up left and right of his peg at 6m, but this ace knew a couple of bigger fish would have made the difference...
