DAY TICKET WATER CATCH REPORT W/E 1/10/10

The weather conditions for our first week of opening were horrendous, with virtually non stop torrential rain and gales on the first two days with even more heavy showers to follow through the week. The anglers who braved these appalling condition were not washed out and were rewarded with some excellent catches.

Gavin Lear fishing peg 7 beat his father John into submission with a fine 22lb common, a new pb for him. Mike Pollard, on his first visit, landed 2 commons of 11.08 and 15.08, Danny Williamson from Swindon fishing peg 6, had a pb common in stunning condition at a very respectable 23.12, Pete Headon fished peg 3 for his pb catfish, a fine specimen of 29lb, then backed this up with a 15lb cat and three carp, a 15lb mirror, 16.06 common and a 13.08 common. His mate Chris fished peg 4, and banked a fine 15lb mirror, Dan Wingrave fished peg 2 to land his new pb common of 21.10 and a little 8lb ghostie.

Daniel Gale fished peg 1 for his first sturgeon, a superb specimen of 41.04, Vic Cranfield and the lads from Skegness fishing pegs 9,10 and 11 had an excellent session, with Graham banking three 20lb+ mirrors to storm into the lead, leaving Vic and Dave struggling to catch up. Bill Jenkins banked a new pb cat of 48.12, a sturgeon of 45.06 and three carp the largest being a superb 28.10 mirror.

Despite the poor weather, a reasonable opening week, and we are certain there will be more to come in future reports. Three or four anglers left without handing in catch reports so there could have been more. Please hand your reports in and we will try to publish them.
