lloks like a nice close match what baits are you using

[PeteP]

Pinkie over groundbait.
Caster shallow.
Choppie gets the bonus perch going but....you can get carped out.
4mm pellet for the bigger skimmers but again you have to be wary of carp coming in.

Some fishmeal or micropellets in roach groundbait seems to be a catchall. Take the fishmeal and pellets out and it's more selective towards roach and perch.

Virtually every peg on the lake has a bonus Billy and some have a nest of them going 3lb+. Expect to get at least a few show this year over 3lb. a 4lber might even put in an appearence as they have done for pleasure anglers.

25 fished.

Carl Baker made the 50min trip from Sourbridge to Dog Lane on Sunday for his first ever time at the venue and went home a happy man. His 11lb 4oz net of roach and quality perch put him 2lb clear of the field for first place. Included in his catch was one notable specimen Perch of 2lb 7oz which earnt him the extra £32 Best Perch pot to go with his £70 first prize. Not a bad day out!

Second place went to Rugby's Rich Wills who drew peg 34 facing the island with a weight of 8lb 15½oz. Rich's net was also boosted by a brace of perch one just past 2lb.

Whilst on peg 9 was Keith(topkits)Taylor, who despite losing count of his topkits was able to put that behind him and put 8lb 2oz to the scales for third place.

Sections on both banks were only ounces apart catches being mostly obliging skimmers and small roach.

The conditions on the day started off with rain pushed along by a cold easterly wind, the water was fining down and the late afternoon sun was a welcome and warming sight which for some perked up their swims for others it was just a case of getting the chill off.



Next Individual is 6th Dec. Contact Pete Palmer 07749225880
Draw 9am Bridge Inn Napton.

27 Booked in for this Sunday's Pairs 22nd November. Forcast to be wet, water will be coloured and in some areas pushing from inlet pipe to outlet. Hopefully, the skimmers will go for that.

B Section:

2nd Charlie Somerton(Banbury) Peg21 5lb 8oz (Roach/Skimmers)

After several days of strong winds and heavy rain the outlook for a good catch was poor, and only a few anglers were looking forward to getting to their pegs. The morning started off quietly but as soon as the whistle blew so did the wind and it rarely subsided for the rest of the day.The conditions though, didn't deter the 27 anglers that turned out and braved the weather.

The Top pair of the day with 4pts was Matt Clamp and Dave Pritchard from Coventry, Matt chose to fish the choppie at peg 37 and found three good perch and some roach for a section win with 7lb 2oz. Dave on the other hand had a net of roach and skimmers from peg17 for 3points and 7lb 6oz, despite being confused by the difference between goldfish and orfe.

Rich Wills from Rugby had drawn the wind to his back on peg 8 and had a busy day catching roach and skimmers together with a couple of bonus perch to put the best individual weight on the scales of 10lb 10oz; but this was a pairs match and his partner Simon Potter had drawn the less favoured end of the lake at peg 28 and finished with 6points and 4lb. This took them to second place.

Third placed pair Rob Bassett and Charlie Somerton from Banbury found themselves at pegs 1 and 21 for the day. Rob 'struggled' to catch 5lb 6½oz of roach and perch but Charlie tipped him by three blades for 5lb 8oz and 2pts.

Carl Baker from Stourbridge was the second best individual weight with 7lb 13½oz from peg 5.

The next Pairs match is on Sunday 20th December.

The second Individual Open Match will be held on Sunday 6th December, for details contact Pete Palmer on Tel. 07749 225 880. Draw at 9am Bridge Inn Napton.

19 fished.

Carl Baker made his third trip from Stourbridge to Dog Lane on Sunday for his second win at the venue and went home a happy man again. His 12lb 4oz net of caster caught quality roach and perch put him almost 3lb clear of the field for first place.

Second place went to Martin Paynter who drew peg 5 with a weight of 9lb 12oz of skimmers and perch caught on the choppie. Hopefully this has killed the demon that Martin was thinking lived at this peg.

Whilst on peg 40 was Rich Wills, who despite not fancying his chances at this corner peg was able to put that behind him and placed 9lb 8½oz on the scales for third place. Rich's netful was made up of Roach and two perch caught on pinkie.

Steve Hatt's Section win at peg 30 was only one roach away from the winning frame. His net was made up of three 2lb plus perch and small skimmers and roach.

The other Section Win was 7lb 7oz from peg 16 where Pete Palmer cursed the day he chose to scale down hooks and then lose a 2lb plus bream, but hey ho that's fishing.

Best Perch of the day (2lb 11¾oz) fell to Bob Taylor of Jet Breakers who caught the fine specimen pictured from Peg 36.

The conditions on the day started off with rain but finished dry and bright.



Next Individual is 3rd Jan 2010. Contact Pete Palmer 07749225880

The December 20th match was a tough one, not just because we had to break the ice but because we had to first get out the Pub Car Park!!

The day was very cold with temperatures rarely above 1degC even when the sun came out. The ice had frozen to almost 2 inches in places which showed the designs of some ice breakers required a re-think. Two are now permanent features on the bottom of pegs 28 and peg 10.

Rob Basset had the best individual weight of 5lb 8oz from peg 31 consisting of Roach caught on double pinkie together with a Perch of 1lb+.

On the opposite bank at peg 16 and in the shade was Rich Wills who managed to winkle out 1lb 10½oz of small skimmers and roach, despite having left his cupping kit on the ice and then retrieving it only to snap it on the bank-side bush. Rich is now rumoured to be writing Santa a last minute letter and anybody who would like to send him a Teddy for the one he lost on the bank just drop me a line!!

After 4hrs and 5 blanks the final results were:

Top Pairs:
1st Martin Paynter & Pete Palmer 6pts
2nd Tony Hobbs & Steve Fothergill 7pts
3rd Rob Basssett & Charlie Somerton 8pts (by weight)
4th Jake King & Graham Cheney 8pts

Section A
1st Rob Bassett peg 31 5lb 8oz
2nd Justin Ashby peg34 2lb 13oz

Section B
1st Rich Wills peg 16 1lb 10½oz
2nd Martin Paynter peg 10 1lb ½oz

Next Pairs Match is the 17th January.
