This week’s cost cutter match was held on Colver lake (silvers only). Unfortunately the carp decided to go on a feeding frenzy, which severely affected the overall weights. Alan Smith personally hooked 19 carp and landed 15.
Not only did it take time to land the fish on light tackle, but it adversely affected the swims for a while afterwards. Anyway result as follows, winner Dave Montgomery with 8lb 13oz, second Chris Shore with 8lb 10 oz and third Mick Norton with 7lb 7oz. 9 fished
I have had notification from Fishery owner At Kilworth.
The track down to the Broome Car Park is being worked on today (Monday 19/10/26). A notice has been put up informing Members to use the Farm Entrance, proceed past the Weighbridge as if heading for Lizzies. Go through the double gate. This will be, hopefully, completed today. But if not, it will be the same procedure Tuesday (20/10/26).
This week’s cost cutter match was held on a windswept Smiggies lake. Although fishing was difficult. to say the least. weights did hold up well in places.
Steve Lee came out on top with 26lb 6oz, second Dave Montgomery with 11lb 15oz and third Chris Shore with 11lb 2oz. First section Mick Farmery with 10lb 13oz and second section Mick Nash with 6lb 14oz. 16 fished
1st match of the 26/27 season. We met up for the draw at 7.45am. The coldest day of autumn at 3 degrees and a heavy dew on the grass but clear skies.
It didn’t take long before the first action of the day. Casting a weighted Pike fly along the margin, Pete Felstead thought he was into a bit of weed! He pulled on the fly only to see a Pike holding the fly and a boil of water as the fish let go.
Back to the car for his polarised glasses, Pete thought that may have meant not losing that fish if he had them on in the first place! A change of lure and take number two all in the first 10 minutes.
On the next change of lure, the forgiving Pike sticks, and fish one on the bank. That was the start of a “red letter” day for Pete with one lure unlocking the predators on the day. Pete reckoned he must of had at least 12 missed takes! He still ended up with 7 fish on the bank for a total weight of 33lb 7oz.
Unfortunately, not everyone was getting the same action with only three other fish caught on the day. Tomas having the best fish at 9lb 2oz and Jamie getting one in the last 15 minutes. Tom taking one on a wobbled dead bait.
Pete did get a bit of friendly banter as he unhooked one fish and two cast later was in again!! “that’s enough Pete” and “Ain’t it time you went home”
We now have a fully functioning, solar powered, security camera at Frisby Complex. Our security camera focuses on the entry gate. Please ensure you shut and re-lock the gate after entering or leaving the fishery.
Well done to Assistant Match Secretary, Paul Slatcher. Fishing the final Sunday League match on Colver, Paul put an incredible 213lb 12oz on the scales from peg 4. This is the new Broome Match record weight on home waters.
The Colver Track is almost complete on the low numbered pegs. The first picture is taken from peg 10 showing the track from 10 to 18 ready for the top finish.
The second picture is again from peg 10 down to peg 1 with the finish dressing completed.
The contractor has dug out the track on the high number as well and estimates 2-3 weeks to completion.
