Here is this weeks news and catch report round up from Luton Angling Club.
David Farmer - Funeral
A reminder that the funeral of David Farmer, Membership Secretary and Long standing committee and Life Member will take place at 2pm on Thursday 2nd September at The Vale Crematorium, Butterfield Green Rd, Luton LU2 8DD.
Grand Union Canal
The smile on 7 year old Frankie Smith's face says it all. On only his second ever fishing trip he had a superb 2lb Grand Union Canal Perch What a catch!
Member Jonathan Bridgeman had a red letter day on South Lagoon landing a Common at 26lb and a Mirror shortly afterwards he also lost 3 other fish one of which didn't stop till it nearly got to the other side of the lake. He has never had much luck on South Lagoon before but we think he might be back again soon after this result.
Beckerings Reservoir
Craig Mahoney had a Common Carp at 18lb 4oz caught at 5am in the morning last Monday.
Robbie Sweet had a good sized Common during a night session on Wednesday.
Fergal O Kane had a number of
Roach, Dace, Perch, Bleak and also had Jack Pike snapping at the silvers when he was reeling them in.
Lets Fish at South Lagoon
The last Tuesday Let’s Fish session of August was at our South Lagoon venue at Wyboston on Tuesday 24th August. All those who attended caught fish, even the adults were thrilled at catching their first fish.
Some youngsters were invited to the Saturday sessions with our coach Mark Brooks as they showed promise.
Thanks to the club coaches Mark Brooks, Bob Burdiak and Les Reed. Les is the owner of The Tackle Shed and he also kindly provided the bait for the event.
With regular Wednesday match correspondent Dennis Hunt on holiday, Richard Gibbs sent in this weeks match report and pictures.
A total of 7 anglers turned out for the Old Boys Wednesday Knock Up on the R.Ouse at Eaton Ford. Numbers were slightly down due to holidays. Although overcast with no rain, the weather couldn't make up its mind as it was mild to start off with, then a cold wind requiring jackets and hoodies, then mild again! Seems the fish were also affected as although the river looked spot on with a tinge of colour and a steady flow, the fish weren't interested in biting. Steve Lathwell took top spot float fishing with hemp and tares on the hook with some quality Roach in his mostly Roach net. Richard Gibbs took second place finding a mixed bag of Bream, Roach, Dace, Chub and Perch on the feeder with worm or dead maggot hookbait. Thanks to Dudley Frankland and Roger Baker for assisting with the weigh in.
Next weeks match will be back on the Canal at Braggenham side, Stoke Hammond. Draw at 9am, fish 10.30am to 3.30pm. Non Members welcome as this is also a day ticket venue.
