Touch Wood

Paul Woods is stopping with us again, and I'm sure many of you have gotten to know this friendly chap over the last 15 years.
But do you know he has topped his PB every year for the last 15 years?
He's here for 2 weeks, and is half way through his stay, with 30 good Carp so far.
His favourite being a 21lb 10oz Grass Carp which is another PB!

He's kindly given me his photo's for the blog (though I have to be quick with his card because he knows he'll need again soon!), and with a week left I'm glad I can write it up his catches in 2 posts!

Paul also keeps a fishing diary (like me) Where he can record, date, location, weather, baits, and of course catches. A good idea and a treasure trove for future years!

Hi there, just a quick note to say thanks for a great weeks fishing. We
all had a brilliant time, alas no monsters, but we got loads of silvers
and on the last day we had three decent jacks out of Reed Mere, with
Charlie (my son)  beating his PB with a nice 7 1/2 lb (photo attached).
Can I also add it was great for my dad who as you know is not as mobile
as he used to be, but was able to get anywhere within the complex
without any major assistance. Cheers and hope to see you all again

My wife and i have had a great relaxing time,the dogs loved it too, the accomodation was spot on, the tackle shop was second to none, the cafe was great and very handy, the fishing could have been a little better, but you cant book the weather,can you, but the fish i did catch was of top quality,the tench and roach were stunning, the match was good fun,and every one there was very friendly.

Middlehurst vs Swindells in the Match

The second match of the week ended in a draw for first place . John from the Middlehurst party landed 17lbs 12ozs of lovely Roach whilst Andrew from the Swidells party did exactly the same.

It's a Family Affair

This week saw the Middlehurst family on their first visit to Lonsdale do extremely well in the Tuesday match. Dad - John came first with 21lbs 12ozs, Grandad John 2nd with 20lbs 12 ozs, both with some lovely Roach. Son Adam came 5th with 13lbs including a couple of good Tench in his catch.

3rd place went to last week's winner - Russ who netted 15lbs.

4th place went to John Kay who is on his second visit of the year to Lonsdale and netted 14lbs 14 ozs - shame about the T.shirt John!!
