George’s lake was the venue for the May competition, the weather remained dry all day however a cool North Easterly breeze dropped the temperature down , this seems to be the trigger for a bout of spawning activity.
Some carp did feed and our league leader Nathan sat on peg 21 ,fished to the tip of the island on 14 metres of pole with meat and maggot over pellets ,
Despite losing several large fish his winning net was 8lb clear of second place Craig , who drew peg10 and fished close in on luncheon meat .
Match organiser , Martin , fished worm over micros on a long pole off peg 4 to just pip fellow veteran Les who was on peg 22..
Our next competition is the first of our 10 match evening series, commencing on Wednesday 13th May.

Our first competition in the 10 match series was fished on a cold and blustery evening .
The winner, Martin, match secretary, drew peg 6 and fished the margins with paste and meat over hemp.
In form , Keith sat on peg 1.,and fished with maggots on the pole , his mixed bag was enough for second place.
Ever reliable Nathan was third on peg 4.
