Boot Pit - Slipe Lane
After a tough day fishing Boot pit at Slipe Lane, and after losing 3 fish in 1 hour, Stuart Wightman finally landed this 10lb 2oz common as he was packing up. He said by no means is it big, but a lovely looking fish and well worth the wait it was caught on a Krill wafter. He will be going back for another try soon.

South Lagoon - Wyboston
John Botfield fished on 13/8/24 on South Lagoon. He couldn’t sleep due to the heat so on a whim decided to not sleep, and fish on the feeder instead.
A conservative estimate of 250lb+ so as not to over estimate, of bream to 10lb lots of 7’s and 8’s and a single tench approaching 7lb. Fish were kept in multiple large keepnets and only for a few hours as fish care is paramount. All fish swam off immediately on release.
It was impossible in the hot weather to weigh and display and photograph all the fish without causing added stress to them so figures are estimated and fish were returned after a quick photo of the nets, having fished commercial matches John has a good sense of the weights in each
The fish were caught in the early hours of morning darkness, and fishing was unbelievable during the morning light from 6am-9am. A cracking session.
North House Lake - Wyboston
Nebojsa Gal fished at the weekend and had an 11lb mirror and a 16lb common.

Luton Kingfishers - Cadet Leo’s progress
One of our very talented Luton Cadet Anglers, Leo, aged 8 has been very busy fishing as much as possible lately, and his Dad kindly sent us a great piece describing what’s been happening.
" thought I'd update the club and the coaches on Leo being a busy fisherman the last few months and he's been trying to fish as much as possible, and whenever I have been able to take him we have been out on the bank. Having loved the National Celebration of Young People and Fishing last year, he wanted to try and do more matches this year or if I just quote him "all of them."
After his success in winning the Cadets class at the Northampton CRT Regional match we had the opportunity to go to Blythe Water yesterday to fish in another CRT regional match and decided to make a little trip out of it. We left on Sunday morning to stop at Three Locks on the Grand Union Canal on the way. We had a lovely afternoon on the bank at the Grand Union until the sun managed to pierce through the trees and it just got too hot for the both of us, and by 3pm we called it a day with a lovely net of Skimmers, Perch, Roach and Gudgeon. We then went to Solihull for our overnight stay with the match at Blyth on Monday.
The next day, saw a very tired Leo who even with the heat and humidity managed to pull through and enjoyed the day. He had 4 carp on the feeder in the first hour before a very much too close for comfort thunderstorm stopped the match for 30mins.
He then decided to just fish with maggots and enjoy the Perch and Roach he was catching without being too bothered about the weight, as there were only 2 in his age group.
Nevertheless, he managed to pull a few more carp and some nice skimmers and some bigger bream in the last hour and ended up with a weight of 28lbs, taken in 3.5hours which we both couldn't believe.
He would have actually ended up 3rd in the Junior Category (11 to 15 years old) with that weight.
We're super proud of him and glad I took him; he now wants to go back this weekend for the CRT Regional canal match at Solihull which will be his last match before this year National Celebration which he's very excited about"
Well done Leo and thanks to his dad Romain for sending us the update.

Match Report 14th August Grand Union Canal - Bragenham Side
This week, we had 18 anglers fishing on a strange day following a couple of days with very high temperatures exceeding 30C. However, the temperature on Wednesday was much cooler, having fallen by 10C overnight, and it struggled to make 20C. It was a very funny day, muggy and overcast with extremely high humidity. The Canal looked good, but failed to produce, with many of the field struggling for bites, and swims that are normally regarded as ‘Bankers’ seemingly barren with the less favoured swims in many cases producing the weights.
Malcolm Ogden took top slot for a welcome change this week, apparently getting stick from his daughters when he arrived home and telling them he haf won as they suggested he must have been the only one fishing!
Malcolm caught all his fish using a tip rod over, with all fish caught on red worm from his garden compost heap tipped with red maggot on a method feeder. Malcolm had a few nice bream and some smaller fish to finish with 7lb 3oz.
Second place was taken by Syd Wilson with 6lb 15oz. Syd fished his pole over groundbait between 11m & 13m, going to the longer line when the fish backed off the latter when they backed off. He was topping up regularly with groundbait and caught on flouro pinkie and red worm.
Third slot was taken by Bart Bonito, who lost a very big fish early on in the match. Bart was fishing a pole over and weighed 5lb 8oz.
After this the weights started to tail away, on a day where weights were generally low.
Many thanks to all who helped with the Admin and weigh in.
