Beckerings Reservoir
Amer Jawad did a short but sweet 3 hour afternoon session at Beckerings on Thursday. He had 3 nice bream all just shy of 8lb and a 1lb 1oz roach.
During a 48hr session and after a very slow day having lost a fish the night before, Lee Cooke got woken up at 2.30am Tuesday morning with a beauty of a Common weighing in at 24.7lb. It was cold and everything was really frosty and then it lashed it down with rain but he couldn't care less!!! He was very happy with the first fish of 2023!! He said to excuse his dodgy camera work as he had to video and then take a screenshot afterwards get some pics so he could get the fish back in the water quickly
REMINDER:BECKERINGS CLOSED FROM 2PM TO DUSK ON TUESDAY 10th JAN
Members please note that Beckerings will be closed from 2pm on Tuesday 10th Jan for Farm related activities to take place around the Reservoir.
Wednesday Group - Day out at the Globe 4/1/23
Although the group officially is on their winter break until February, a few of the Wednesday Match Group had a day out at The Globe canal section at Leighton Buzzard on Wednesday morning. It was dark when they arrived and the weather was unusually mild for early January with a blustery and gusting wind present. Evidence of the overnight strong wind was present in the car park with twigs and branches all over the car park, along with a very large bough that had fallen but narrowly avoided causing damage to a parked Audi. As usual the banter was friendly and good humoured which just showed how please the guys were to be back out and about.
The canal was a good colour but the water was very cold and so bread punch seemed to be the initial method. This worked well for some, and not at all for others. It certainly worked well for local angler Steve Lathwell from the off. Steve fished a pole at 6 metres catching Bream all day to record exactly 30lbs of Bream.
A terrific catch considering the time of year and conditions. Richard Gibbs fished a feeder with worm hookbait to catch a few Bream and good Perch, while Dudley Frankland fished punch and pinkie on 9 metre pole to catch skimmers, perch and a few roach. Andy Norgate fished a running line using one of Tony Hickmott's home made waggler floats which helped him catch a superb Perch weighing 2lbs 6ozs. The gusting wind made presentation difficult and at times it was hard to see the float because of the low sun. The kingfisher was out again, as was the Muntjac deer seen trotting through the far bank hedgerow, despite the two guys using strimmers and brush cutters on the far bank. There was very little water movement with only four boats during the day.
Overall, it was a great days canal fishing which culminated in a welcome pint in the pub afterwards.
Tight Lines,
