Weekly News Report - 5th March 2017
We'll start this week with with the South Lagoon where regular Simon Heath had a Zander of 9lb 4oz and another slightly smaller at 8lb 6oz. Craig Gibson had three Bream to 5lb 4oz.
Also at Wyboston on the Ouse Tony Sharp had a nice chub of 6lb 2oz which he caught on luncheon meat see picture below.
On the canal, visiting angler Paul Nash caught a 2lb Perch on Section 8 at Grove
The final round of the predator match series was held on Sunday 5th March but with the Ouse at Biddenham pushing through near the top of its bank and rising throughout the match confidence wasn't high that anyone would catch. Heavy rain and wind dampened the spirits further with the river flooding into the far side field. Club Secretary John Morris saved the day with a pike caught close in on a roach deadbait and seemed pleased with his trophy although his unhooking mat fell victim to the wind and floods and was last seen heading downstream towards Bromham!. Luckily a patch of deep soft moss in his peg made a natural alternative.
The overall winner of the series is Dave Brosnan.
North House Lake was closed on Saturday for a work party and lots of the trees were trimmed allowing better access and casting from many of the pegs lots of rotten branches were also removed to prevent them coming down and causing snags.
Terry the bailiff built up some of the slippery surfaces on the popular pegs using ballast. Our thanks to the volunteer members that attended - John Morris, David Farmer, Terry Willison, Barry Stevenson, Neville and Kevin Hunt, Damon Smith and Mark Gaddison.
Our next work party is at Beckerings Reservoir on 26th March 2017 and we would really like to see some more of our members at our work parties so please come along if you are free. Tea and Coffee is provided and the barbecue is fired up on many of our work parties too!
The Club's Annual General Meeting will be held at Stopsley Working Mens Club, Putteridge Road, Luton, LU2 8HG on Thursday 23rd March. Members should make every effort to attend. Please make sure you bring your membership book with you. Parking and a Bar is available at the venue.
