Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 6th January 2019

BECKERINGS RESERVOIR

The fisheries management team were at Beckerings Reservoir in December to accept delivery of 150 Ide, 120 Chub and 25 Barbel all around 8-10 inches long they were introduced to the reservoir to boost the coarse fish stocks. If you catch any of these please weigh/photograph them and let us know so we can monitor their growth. Watch the video here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BybgRHvaUe4&feature=share

Tom Harris age 16 caught a personal best common of 22lb 8oz on New Years Eve



 Mick Thickens a 23lb 5oz common
 
and Jack Rose a nice double figure common.


The game keeper is currently shooting vermin at Beckerings Reservoir when no one is booked on for the night so those staying beyond 1 hour after sunset (sunset is currently 15.52) without booking on as night fishing (see page 38 of the membership book) are risking their own safety. He has come across anglers at the reservoir at 20.00hrs when no on was booked on. We have posted about this before so expect to be endorsed and dealt with accordingly as this could seriously threaten the future of our lease at the reservoir even if those concerned do not value their own safety. In recent weeks we have given a life ban to a member for an incident on another venue (see weekly news reports) so please abide by the rules of the club and if you can't please join another club as we really do not need you as a member. Thank you.

KEMPSTON LAKE
Kieran Cove landed the largest reported carp over the festive break with a 27lb 8oz specimen caught on New Years Eve.




GREAT OUSE BIDDENHAM
Fergal O'Kane was back on the river at Biddenham 29/12/18 where he caught 3 small pike on deadbaits with the largest being the one below at 7lb 9oz. A couple of months ago in the same swim Fergal hooked a similar sized pike that was then grabbed by a huge pike but both sadly got away. The 7lb 9oz pike certainly has the scars from a close encounter with something that wanted to have it for dinner!!
