Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area Week Ending 20th September 2020

Here is this week's news and reports from Luton Angling Club.

North House Lake 
At North House Lake Kieran Turner had a stunning 20lb Mirror. 

After a run of blank sessions Scott Judge had a solid 18lb Common Scott sends his thanks to bailiff Brian Turner who always tries to get him on the fish. Brian told him "You will get one tonight Scott" and he did.

Grand Union Canal 
Russell Johns had a 24lb 7oz lump from the Grand Union Canal this week. He was originally planning a visit to Beckerings but glad he changed his mind last minute as this is a new canal PB for him.

Kempston Lake 
On his second ever visit to Kempston Lake Paul Parkinson fished a 48hr session and he caught a mirror of 24lb 6oz it was caught on pop up with chopped up nut boilies.

 Also at Kempston Artur Szczerbinski had a 21lb Mirror 

Harrison Coady had his first Kempston Carp on Saturday which was a new PB at 27lb.

Match Reports
On Sunday 13th September Abbey Lads fished at Eaton Ford on the River Ouse and had a great day out which everyone enjoyed. They reported catching lots of Skimmers, Roach & Perch. They have told us they will be back soon.

Results
1st 11lb 4oz
2nd 7lb 15oz
3rd 4lb 15 oz
4th 4lb 10oz

Unfortunately, there aren’t any pictures of the catches. The Club is fortunate to have so many fine in form river venues, if you haven’t tried one recently why don’t you give one a go.

Wednesday Knock Up Match
Only two fished the Wednesday Knock up at South Lagoon this week on a perfect September day with the temperature in the mid 20’s. One of them did OK, and one had a bit of a mare!

Barry Roper managed to put 6lbs 8oz of nice Roach on the scales they were caught mainly on caster, using both pole and feeder tactics.


For Dennis it was a day of missed bites and lost fish only managing 1lb 4oz this weight made up by a couple of Skimmers, one taken on the float, the other on feeder using maggot and corn. Unfortunately the biggest fish of the day was a Bream that came adrift as it reached the bank.

One surprising thing was the strength of the undertow along the bank the wind blowing one way and undertow going the other at twice the speed which made float presentation difficult 

Oh well that's fishing but at least they didn't get wet this week!

The outing next week will be Members Only at Lavendon where they have been invited by the bailiff Bob Burdiak to fish, so the group hope for an excellent day following the previous success by Bob with the Roach at the venue


Meet for a 9am draw in the car park, fish 10 till 3 with a £5.00 optional pools.

See the attached picture of Barry Roper with his 6lbs 8oz of fish and another of a nice net of Lavendon Roach which they'll be targetting next week.

Dennis said it wasn’t worth a picture of his catch this week!

Work Party Report 
The work party team were at Beckerings on Saturday re-building and replacing the small bridge across the stream from the car park. The original bridge was starting to rot and feel very spongy. The new bridge should last well into the future. Thanks to the volunteers that attended.
Monthly Photo competition 
All pictures submitted to the clubs via the Facebook page or our website are automatically entered into the monthly photo competition that is judged each month by the club committee. It's not the size that matters so send in pictures of anything you catch and you could win £25. Our August winner was Dean Ayres with a 3lb 5oz Perch from the Grand Union Canal.

Tight Lines until next week
