Southminster Pit 1 6th July

Whilst getting prepared for the start of this Match, it was clear that we would not be having a lovely July summer’s day, what was not expected was the heavy rain and wind, which made conditions feel more like December.  The heavy downfall of rain made fishing difficult at times for our Juniors but they pushed through and the weights for the match were as follows

Jasmine Wilkinson                          32lb 11oz

Hannah Dakin                                 26lb 7oz

Riley Joy                                           6lb 4oz

Straits Mill 22nd June

Looking forward to see how this venue would fish with the long spells of bright sunshine that the UK has been having, instead we had heavy outbursts of rain and wind. With so many different species of fish in this venue it was hard for the Juniors to work their way through the many smaller fish to find the larger ones. Some succeeded and some didn’t but all in all a good day was had by all those attending.  The match results were as follows

Marley Darch                    9lb 2oz

Jasmine Wilkinson           7lb 1oz

Riley Joy                           5lb 5oz

Hannah Dakin                   2lb 9oz

Parsonage Farm – 8.6.2024

As ever this venue is a lovely place to hold a Match at but like with most venue’s you never know what is going to be produced.  There were some lovely specimens caught and although a strong wind lasted for all of the Match, there were various types of fish caught from Silvers and Perch to Bream and Tench

 The results of the day were

 Hannah Dakin                                    16lb 4oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                           10lb 3oz

Marley Darch                                     6lb 11oz

Riley Joy                                             3lb 12oz

Windmill Lakes – Long Lake – 25.5.2024

This is the first time we have held a match at this lovely venue and the weather was certainly smiling on us all.  Although there was plenty of evidence of large carp in this lake they clearly made a joint decision to not take many of our baits.  This match therefore turned out to be a ‘Gudgeon feast’, but what a wonderful selection of Gudgeon were caught.

 The results of the match were are follows

 Hannah Dakin                                    3lb 6oz

Marley Darch                                     3lb 3oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                             1lb 13oz

Hicks Farm 14 May

First match of the new season and with the sun shining brightly what more could you ask for. Some large catch weights would be nice and although this venue in the past has produced some extraordinary weights, sadly today was not the day that this was going to happen.  All of our Juniors who attended caught but some more than others but then that’s how it goes sometimes, but everyone had a good day. Still smiles all round at the end of the Match, with a joint 2^nd place which shows how you always fish to the final whistle and the finishing weights were as follows

Marley Darch                                     44lb 11oz

Hannah Dakin                                    11lb 1oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                             11lb 1oz

Riley Joy                                              6lb 7oz
