This week's match


This week's winner was Keith with a lower than normal result at 13lb, closely followed by his son. I think the huge amount of rain we had in the preceeding 24hrs must have put the big fish off the feed.

Mean while the Lighthowler family always run their own inter-family competitions complete with trophies! As we understand it Steve is currently winning with 4 good carp to 16lb in one short session. Steve doesn't like to get up too early or fish too late - much to the rest of the family's annoyance! Steve says "I do what I have to!"

The Secret Pool has been fishing well this week, as of Wednesday it has produced 10 Carp to 26lb, plus numerous nice chub.
Keith who stayed in the Secret Cottage last week had a very memorable catch when he landed a beautiful specimen Perch - which is veryinteresting as we never stocked any of these gladatorial fish. So it's appearance and apparent growth rate hold great promise for the future. The Perch came alongside cracking Chub and Roach, Bream, and Carp all taken on his pole.

Brilliant blogg - Steve is buzzing - had a fab week and looking forward to next year - the competition for the biggest fish is already being talked about (they manage to talk the talk - pity they cannot talk the fish out of the water), many thanks - see you all next year.x
