Bassman Green |
|
Roger landed two fine Bass to weigh in 8lb 7oz for a second place behind Paul Coles. We are reliably informed that one Bass was returned unharmed whilst the other was reurned after a gentle knock on the head - but survived. Rogers patented groundbaiting rigs will soon be on ebay along with fourof his rigs I found on the last spring tide. Sam Lougher also showed a worrying tendency to follow in his dads successful footsteps - beware!

One Blustery day |
|
21 anglers faced strong southerly winds to fish for the latest doubles (that also clashed with the five man team match). The fish stayed in the west with the Deeps producing good catches for the second consecutive week.

Stringfellow was fourth with 2lb 9oz followed by Jodie Velda and Tony Gwyther with single dogs. The five man teams struggled with small bags and blanks, 10 anglers blanked on the day. |

Snowball goes |
|
At last the snowball has been won! Nigel Grant took it with a catch that included 2 rays, one an eight pound fish. He also won overall on what was a much better day than of late with over 100lb of fish being caught by the 31 anglers fishing. Lee Thompson had almost 12lb of fish to take second place and rays and dogs made up most bags.
Acker had an eel that won him nominated species on the day - probably hoping that it will fatten up by the conger championships.

Snowball stands |
|
yes despite being down to 8lb (ish) the snowball pool still remains along with around 500 notes for the eventual winner.
Twenty four fished on Easter Sunday and most were unsuccessful with low weights of dogs and slugs making up the winning bags topped by ace angler Kevin Sewell.
The Turk won easilly with a bag of 3lb 9oz with Aida in second 8 ounces behind. Stringfellow and Cuckoo McKinnery shared third place while newbie Gary Cushen again kicked arse with a fine dog of 2lb 3oz that gave him fifth. Chan propped up the field in sixth place.
With catches being so small it was interesting to see Kevin Sewell and Tony Gwyther's improvised 'card' that amounted to little more than a postage stamp (or was it a bus pass)?
Next weeks match is also the doubles so a big turnout is assured. |

Cushens are no soft touch |
|
On his first competition since rejoining the club, Gary Cushen blew the opposition away with a fine thornback of 10lb. A field of over twenty fished hard in spite of windy conditions mostly in pursuit of the snowball fish. Dean carter came closest with a 6lb small eyed in a mixed bag that gave him second place with 7lb 11oz. Lee thompson and Kevin salih follwed with Gary's old man Stringfellow in 5th with a catch that included a Huss. Gary Morgan propped up the rest of the field with a bag that included a 2lb dog.

Four find fish seventeen blank |
|
Like it says in the heading - in what must be the culmination of our worse ever run of results in 25 (or 30 if you ask Alan) years of fishing, only four anglers weighed in from a field of 21.
Aida took pole position with 1lb 10oz, Roger Green second with 13oz. Salih and Thomas were runners up. A total weight of 3lb 6oz was weighed in. Assuming that all anglers used two rods thats just over an ounce per rod.
The commercial lobby claim fish stocks are healthy- of course they are! If that's the case I must dash - Kylie and Paris are calling me back upstairs! |

Second Doubles Disaster |
|
Nineteen fished on a chilly but dry day at a venue cunningly fixed by our illustrious shore sec. to avoid the fish. Five weighed in with Richard Lougher storming away with 1lb 9oz chased by Kevin Gardner's 1lb 3oz. Gary Morgan (1lb 2oz) was followed by newbie Daniel Crump and oldie Mike Langford.

Roger is the man |

Roger 'the Rockling' Green landed an impressive cod of 3lb 5oz to beat a sad field of inferior anglers. His fish was tempted on a modified Ford Anglia tipped with mackerel.
I cannot be bothered to key in the rest of the day's results - these will follow. |

Another poor day saw only five anglers weigh in with Jody declaring a massive 4oz. Honours on the day were taken by Thomas Williams with 2lb 14oz, Aida was runner up with 1lb 2oz pipping Gary Morgans 1lb 1oz and Tony Gwythers 8oz. |

Aida beats a sad field |
|
Fishing remains appaling and in Sundays competition Aida Harris's 2lb 12oz bag topped a pathetic leader board. Kevin Gardner managed a 1lb weight to come second narrowly beating Lee Thompsons 12oz and Chans 12 oz in third and fourth. Bob Harris and Gary Morgan took fifth and sixth with less than 1lb between them. |

What a lot of blankers! |
|
The first doubles competition on 2006 saw 27 anglers fish hard in extremely cold Easterly winds and only 7 weighed in. Mr McHenry came first with 2lb 8oz, beating Clarkies 2lb 20z Codling (yes really - a cod). Tony Gwyther had 1lb for third and Jodie 11oz for fourth. Colesy and Thomas had 10 and 9 oz to take fifth and sixth. |

Uncle Albert comes good |
|
The past fortnight has seen the new year get off to a mixed start. On the first competition of the year over 20 fished but half blanked and little worthy of note was weighed in.
On Sunday the 15th another large contingency booked in and some anglers enjoyed a far better day. Colin Mckinnery included a rare cod of 10lb in his 13lb bag that helped him top a first place in the 5 man team shore doubles with Kevin Gardner in second place, their team winning hands down on the day. The club comp was disputed after a query over start times but after a stewards inquiry the top position was taken by Lee Thompson with a bag including eels, Colin Gimblett took a noteworthy 4th position.
