The bailiffs also reported that night anglers he encountered as they were leaving told him they'd had a 29lb common and a 27lb Mirror.
South Lagoon - Wyboston
We are hearing reports of lots of small common carp between 5-8lb being caught from South Lagoon and 9 caught over a few days which is quite unusual, the fish look like they have been caught a lot in the past as several have historic hook damage so have possibly escaped during the flooding from a match or commercial lake.
Grand Union Canal
Lee Waring has been targeting the Perch on the Grand Union Canal recently and has had some nice results, on his first session he had 10 Perch well over 2lb and then on his next session he caught caught 8 Perch this evening, they were all over 2lb and two weighed in at 3lb & 3lb 1oz. All on legered worm. He lost a few too due to using barbless hooks.

Daiwa Global Celebration 20th October
What a fantastic weekend for our Luton Kingfishers this has been!
Our eight young Luton anglers who made the journey to fish on the Shropshire Union Canal were among the 250 invited to fish in the CRT / Daiwa Global competition, where anglers are divided into teams representing different countries. They all put in absolutely storming performances. Our anglers fished in Irish, Scottish, French, German, and several English teams
The weather in Shropshire on Friday night was terrible , with heavy rain, and Saturday morning left flooded lanes and very wet fields where it was originally intended to park cars, which resulted in a hasty revision of plans. Thankfully the weather after the rain had passed was superb, a brilliant autumn day, and everything went off without a hitch.
Harper Adams University, a fantastic venue was used as the HQ for the day and the event featured an initial parade of flags before the match and the presentations afterwards
The placings for the teams with Luton team members are below with the individual results for our lads shown in brackets.
Cadets (6-10) fished in Team France 7th (Leo 24th / 72) Team Ireland Green 12th (Alex 48 /72)
Young Juniors 11-13 fished in Team Germany 19th (Dexter 48/52) Team Scotland 14th (Maxwell 41/58)
Our Juniors fished in English Blue 1st (Kaden 12 / 58) , English Violet (Daniel 10/58) Ireland 11th (Jack 9/58) with Global Superstars Green 10th (Indy 42 /58
Daniel and Jack in full juniors also achieved best in team for their respective teams.
Full results can be found on Hotfishin
This was a stunning performance as far as Luton were concerned, well done to everyone.
A big thank you to CRT and Daiwa for running the event, and providing the prizes, and most of all to our parents for their encouragement and support as without that our young anglers wouldn’t have been able to take part.

Match Report 16th October GUC ‘The Globe’
After the continuing rain and colder nights last week, Wednesday morning started mild, overcast and drizzly. The starting air temperature as 11C the same as the Canal water temperature, the air temperature rising through the day to 20C with the colour from the heavy rain last month starting to clear.
We had 18 turn out for this week’s match pegged from the Globe toward Leighton Lock, and we didn’t have a huge number of boats go through the section during the match. The canal while not fishing to its full potential now did turn up some respectable weights.
First this week was Colin McBeth, who fed just short of the fallen tree in the water with 2 balls of groundbait, with squatt and caster mixed in. He also fed two other lines by the same tree. He started on punch at 5m and had a couple of skimmers and roach, and when that died, he went across to tree line with worm and had a couple of skimmers followed by some nice bream. Colin said it went quiet about midday so he rested that line for a while. He had some small fish from one of the other lines then went back on the original line for a few more bream. Colin topped up with groundbait and chopped worm regularly to keep the bream coming although it got much slower as the day wore on. Colin finished with 14lb 4oz.
Steve Lathwell took second with 13lb 13oz using pinkies over groundbait ,he took mostly small skimmers and said he enjoyed the days fishing.
Third was Chris Howard who with two sections of pole stick, resorted to using his trusty 3.5 Metre whip. Chris fed several lines using pinkie over groundbait taking fish off each line to end the day with 8lb.
Dennis Hunt finishing fourth started at around 6 Metres on the inside edge of the track using punch over toasted crumb, and took several small roach and a couple of skimmers until the punch line died. He then went over and fed a ball of groundbait, feeding squatt and fishing pinkie on the hook, but this didn’t really produce. Changing tactics again he fed groundbait at 13 Metres with chopped worm using broken worm on the hook and started to catch some bigger skimmer, ending with 5lb 4oz.
Dennis, like numbers of the other anglers reported that bites were not easy to hit, some being mere lifts or dips of the float and others sailed away but ended up with nothing.
Happiest man on the bank was Roger Baker who had a nice perch of just under 2lb taken on double pinkie. His beaming smile in the picture says it all, the photographer missed the fish, but that’s not important we got the smile!
Thanks to Jane at the Globe for allowing us to park, Ray Burton for the Admin and Tracy and Andy Francombe who came over to help with the weigh in. allowing us to the clear the bank just in case it rained and get to the Globe for a beer slightly earlier!
