Here is this weeks news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club. Please send in your catch reports via our website and social media pages.
Beckerings Reservoir
Craig Mahoney fished Beckerings last Wednesday and had a lovely 16lb 2oz Mirror Carp.
Neil Cox caught the original catfish from Beckerings at 49lb 15oz. He last had it 2 years ago at 48lb,it decided it liked a snowman presentation of madbaits nuts,not the intended species especially on 10ft rods and 15lb line but 30mins later it went into the net.
North House Lake
Matthew Scott had a lovely 23lb Mirror and 19lb Common from North House this week. The Mirror is stockie number 8 which was 8lb 2oz in 2017.
Biddenham River Ouse
It has come to our attention that fires have been lit at Biddenham. Members are reminded that fires are not permitted at any Luton AC venue and disciplinary action (most likely a ban) will be taken against anyone caught lighting fires.
We have had this email in from someone letting us know the progress of two new junior members that got into fishing through the Let's Fish events.
"Alfie (11)and charlie(13) started fishing on a Saturday learning with your team who have been coaching the two boys and they are very enthusiastic new members.
Only 2 weeks in and today they have been out alone for the second time with rigs they learnt to make themselves on 4m whips loaned to them to get them started.
On a recent outing to three locks on the canal Charlie caught 31 fish and Alfie 29 during a 3 and a half hour session
The catch of the day was Alfie’s first bite in the water and his biggest catch by far which he was overly excited by.
I can’t say enough good things about your coaches they have certainly inspired two new young anglers that are looking forward to representing the club in September at the festival in Shropshire.
We also met the bailiff on the bank today who was a pleasure to chat with and gave the boys lots of encouragement"
We are also extremely pleased that Luton Angling Club now have four Juniors in the 11 to 15 age group entered into The National Celebration of Young People and Fishing 2021 This is held every year on the third weekend of September and the event is the UK’s largest national celebration of young peoples' fishing. The junior event will be held on the Shropshire Union Canal at Soudley near Market Drayton on Sunday 19th September. More information can be found on the canal and river trust website.
Match Report Cooks Wharf 18-8-21
Ten anglers fished today and met for the draw on a warm August morning with heavy overcast and drizzle. The clouds were gathering and looking very ominous as we set off along the towpath with several of us expecting a heavy downpour, which never materialised. The overcast conditions continued through the morning and lifted in the early afternoon with bright sunshine breaking through the clouds on several occasions.
As was to be expected on a Wednesday in the August holiday season boat traffic was pretty heavy, with all except one giving no bother. The exception however was the boat skippered by a newbie who hadn’t got a clue and didn’t understand the rules who could not steer, and when trying to put in to operate the swing bridge (which he thought was automatic like the one at Winkwell) made a complete mess of it and nearly towed Chris Howard into the canal complete with tackle, resulting in a colourful exchange of words. The domestic with his other half was still going on below the next lock! Even Chris managed to see the funny side later and the rest of us quite enjoyed the incident, it brightened the day, and the day that Chris nearly got towed in will no doubt be laughed about for weeks.
Tim Watts was on a winning streak for the second time this week, and in a good field despite having to re-establish his line several times managed to net 83 fish, mainly Roach from the track on Pinkies to weigh in 11lb 12oz. Dudley Frankland had some nice chunky roach on Tares to weigh 7lb 2oz for second and Dennis Hunt fished pinkies over groundbait to weigh a bag of Perch, Skimmers and Roach for 3rd and 5lb 14oz.
All who attended had a great day out and enjoyed the banter and the company.
