After this weekend and also last years match at Willow Park it has been suggested we look for a different venue for 2008 as the fishing has not been up to expectations. A few anglers managed less than 1lb !!!!!

One suggestion has been Monk Lakes nr Maidstone, Kent, easy to get to, just 15 minutes from the M20.

The match could be fished on Match Lakes 1 & 2 and by pegging every other peg every angler would have loads of room.

For those that don't know the venue here's an idea of how it's fishing right now.

Todays matches at Monk Lakes fished very well, anglers using a variety of methods, paste over pellet, soft pellet over pellet/groundbait and pellet wag. Most however caught at approx 6-7 metres.

Top 6 weights on Monk Lakes 1 today.

185lb 12oz
153lb 4oz
129lb 12oz
118lb 12oz
109lb
105lb 2oz

Top 6 weights on Monk Lakes 2 today.

130lb 2oz
111lb
109lb
100lb
97lb
93lb

There were also excellent backing weights on both lakes with the lowest anglers weighing at least 35lbs.

Last weekend the weights were just as good with the following being the top 6 on Lake 1

133 lb 8 ozs
116 lb 9 ozs
104 lb 10 ozs
99 lb 8 ozs
98 lb 6 ozs
97 lb 12 ozs

The top weights all came at 6-8 metres with corn, paste or pellet and bags were made up of Green Tench, Golden Tench, Carp and Barbel (2-3lbs)

These sort of weights have been coming out for the past couple of months now so I think you'll agree any Intersite match would be a very good day out with everyone almost guaranteed a superb days fishing.

I am happy to pop in to the fishery and see what can be arranged as long as everyone is happy with the venue choice. I may also be prepared to run the match to give Pikey a break for a year.
