Bailiff Neil Cox proved that having a walk round and finding the fish at Beckerings pays off. He found some fish feeding in the margins and placed a bait in the area and bam 5-10mins later this beauty graces the net, he didn’t weigh it but estimated it was probably around 17-18lb. A stunning fish caught on a madbaits wafter and a light lead.

Match Report, Wednesday 24th August Water End
It always nice to fish a new venue and this week we had arranged to fish an away venue - the recently refurbished How End ‘canal’ lake fishery at Water End.
Many of our regulars are still on holiday, and others had other commitments, so our attendance was down to 12 again this week. We missed Tony Hickmott and his usual pre-off treat of Werther’s sweets!
The fishing this week was challenging for many, the F1 Carp in this venue giving finicky bites that were not the easiest to connect with. The result was close this week with not much separating the top two.
Jim Tookey our winner fed two open water lines and an additional margin line for late on. His 5-metre line was steady all day, Jim was fishing 4mm pellet for the F1s on this line. He switched lines for the last hour and had a few bigger carp in the margin on corn, ending with 47lb 10oz.
Dudley Frankland fed the margins from the off with micros and dead reds and continued to do this little and often whilst catching ide and rudd ¾ way over in the upper layers. He started feeding maggots once he saw the carp arrive and stayed fishing top kit plus one down the edge using 6m banded pellet over micro & 4m pellets, ending with 44lb 10oz.
Richard Gibbs finished third with a mixed bag of 17lb 15oz, while Dennis Hunt started slowly catching rudd ¾ way across on maggot switching lines when the F1’s arrived to fish banded corn on the inside at 6 Metres, but unfortunately lost several bigger fish during the afternoon when they fell off, finishing with 13lb 8oz!
Thanks to our draw and weigh Stewards who greatly assisted on the day. All our anglers had a great day out this week on a venue where we all want to return, many thanks to Pip and Phil for making us so welcome, we will be back before long I’m sure.
