Six members had an Away Day at Peatling Pools on “B” lake as the numbers were low they decided to join with another group of five anglers to make it a bit more competative.
Unfortunately it was two of the other group who took the top two places! Dom Lammi netting 221lb 1oz for first place from peg 23. Paul “Tackle” Taylor taking the runner up spot with 125lb 8oz from peg 4. Paul Edwards was the top placed “Broomie”, and third overall with 123lb 12oz from peg 38. Fourth place going to Paul Slatcher on peg 35 with 115lb 11oz.

Spring was finally showing signs, with a few warm dry days the previous week and a forecast of a dry but cloudy day I was a bit miffed to wake up to rain again!
We made the draw and made are way to our chosen swims. Nine of us fished, the rain moved on and the rest of the day stayed dry.
Tomas was the first to catch at 7lb and later in the day went on to catch the same fish again!! giving him the win on the day.
One of Pete Felsteads legendary lures (above)
Guntis had one fish at 2lb 2oz. Alex and Tom also had one each. Pete fished around a few lakes and had five takes with two lost fish but three on the bank so a good day of action.
If just one of those lost fish had stuck it would of given him the win! But that’s fishing!!
So that’s this year’s season Pike Matches completed.

This week’s cost cutter match was held on Colver lake (silvers only). For a change the weather was great, but a pity the fishing was not the same. Carp fed all day, but the silvers played hard to get.
