Hi Ash,

Welcome to Talk Angling mate, 1st of many post i hope. you may do better placing this post in the venue advise section mate.

Well info on Sapphire lakes, we had a match there on 28th June and it fished crap we were told that they had taken a lot of fish out of the lake, it can also be a bit peggy, were you park your cars as you look at the lake to your left in the corner this is the peg you want to draw fish tight up to the far bank they never move from there. This venu is very deep if you are pegged on the field side it is quite deep in the side and goes to 15-20ft in the middle, fish method(inline) or waggler hot day the waggler shallow, dont ignore the margins as well feed well and wait. Baits are pellet, corn, meat worm, this will be a hard match mate best of luck. The fishery has also suffer from neglect and some of the pegs have big trees and overgrown bushes so can be snaggy. Line well 0.16mm-018mm .

These are our match results Ash.

28th June 2008 was the date that most anglers that fished this match will want to forget for all the wrong reasons. This Lake is not fishing well at all, we have some very good anglers in our club and when the weights are as low as these then somethings amiss, we have fished this venue on several occasions with well balanced weights hitting the scales but with very overgrown trees and pegs that need attention topped with rumours of some of the larger fish from the match lake being put into the specimen carp lake this lake was deviod of fish, so what should have been a long journey followed by some cracking fishing sadly just did not happen. Only Tony Smith on his first win of the season had a good bag of fish keeping him busy all the match. I pay credit to the 17 anglers that stuck it out to the bitter end when the whistle could not come quick enough.
The results are as follows:
Tony Smith: 65lb-1oz
Paul Skeldon: 36lb-8oz
Nick Heath: 11lb-6oz (cheekybrat) T/A member
Alan Cox: 10lb-8oz
Johnny Evans: 8lb-4oz
Brian Cox: 6lb-3oz
Terry Cheeseman: 4lb-9oz (wormmaster) T/A member
Dave Sewell: 2lb-15oz
Lawrence Butcher: 2lb-14oz
Kev Brown: 2lb-5oz
Pete Jackson: 1lb-13oz
Dean Collingham: 13oz (Denochang) T/A member
Ashley Skeldon: 12oz
Billy Harrison: 6oz (weldec) T/A member
Lenny Burton: 6oz
Terry Wiggins: 6oz
Pete Lambert: DNW

Let us know how you get on Ash.
