Beckerings Reservoir

On only his second session targeting the reservoirs Catfish Dale Carter had the best possible result landing the big one weighing in at a whopping 62lb he thanks fellow member James Newill for his help. 

Neil Cox fished a hard 48hr session earlier in the week and after a decision to move to the opposite end of the lake half way through the session he had 2 Carp both over 20lb - a Mirror at 25lb 3oz and a Common of 23lb 8oz. 

Rob Griffiths fished his first ever session at the reservoir which although very wet was worth it as he had 4 fish - Commons of 22lb 13oz, 17lb 6oz and 14lb and a Mirror of 16lb 7oz. 

Also braving the heavy and pretty much constant rain at Beckerings was Jamie Squires who caught a Mirror weighing 25lb and a Common of 20lb 8oz he also had 4 Bream the largest of which was 8lb all the fish were caught in darkness and in the rain!

North House Lake

Following his session at Beckerings Neil Cox moved over to North House Lake at Wyboston and had a fantastic session with new PB of 29lb 12oz. When he saw the fish surface near the net his legs went to jelly and once it was landed he didn't care if he caught anything else however another five fish ended up in his net during the session these were commons of 29lb 3oz, 25lb 12oz, 25lb 2oz, 19lb 6oz and 15lb 13oz all were caught using madbaits

Iain Duck had a 24lb 12oz near perfect and beautifully coloured Common on Saturday.

River Ouse Wyboston

Jordan Philip spent a few hours spinning on the River Ouse at Wyboston and had 4 Jack Pike.

River Ouse Biddenham

Gareth Evans had an 8lb 5oz Pike during a very wet Friday afternoon session.

River Ouse Lavendon

Hard working Lavendon bailiffs Roger and Bob were out working on the Lavendon downstream stretch on Thursday morning. Strimming was done, hopefully for the last time this year, and some bushes and reeds were cut back. Also they took out a couple of large branches from swim no.1, which the mill owner Mick kindly helped them with. It was already a cracking swim with enough space for 2 angling mates to fish, but the two overhanging branches meant a strike upwards risked a broken rod! 

Roger then fished the swim for two hours in the afternoon with maggot feeder and he caught a superb amount of Dace around the 4oz mark not huge in size but they gave a good scrap and of course a few nice Roach were also caught. He's said he's sure a trotted float would get a substantial bag of fish during a day session.

 

Wednesday Match Report

Four fished Three Locks on Wednesday, including two new faces, on a day that started fine and dry with an air temperature of 10C, but ended up with them all getting wet again! All had an enjoyable (if slightly damp) day but unfortunately no pictures of the winning catch (Dennis Hunt) due to issues with a Camera in the rain.

 

The winning catch for Dennis Hunt consisted of 116 fish comprising Rudd, Roach, Gudgeon, Perch, Skimmers and Hybrids for 8lbs 10oz, most caught on Pinkies on the 4-metre line and Casters over, which is where the Rudd were found.

Colin Holmes had three good perch and some roach, and lost a couple more perch, one being a good fish that broke him. He ended the day with 5lb 9 oz. The ever reliable Barry Roper had 4lb 12oz, mainly consisting of roach with a couple of Perch.

Mick Copperwheat finished with 1lb 12oz.

 

Next week the group originally planned to be on the Ouse at Wyboston but due to the rain the venue has been changed to the Grand Union Canal Town North in Leighton Buzzard behind Tesco Draw at 9am fish 10 till 3, £5.00 optional pools. 

 

As this is a day ticket venue non-members may join us but will need to buy a day ticket from the bailiff on the Bank.

Tight Lines Until Next Week
