Easter Match at Horwood

by | posted in: Match Fishing, Sidebar | 0

 

Easter Friday match at HORWOOD, despite a early morning frost the main lake fished well.

Well done to Craig Lamey who managed 15 fish from peg 4 for a lovely weight of 93lb 8oz catching on the method feeder and short pole, Stephen Barrell managed 66lb 3oz from peg 1, Stuart Towers had four lovely condition fish for 40lb 6oz so some very decent ones are now showing.

Top lake fished much harder but this meant everyone was in with a chance of winning that lake right up until the final whistle, Keith Mountjoy weighed in 21lb 10oz for second just 7oz behind Neilsen Jeffery who had 22lb 1oz

Cracking days fishing and lovely to see a few new faces.

by | posted in: Match Fishing, Sidebar | 0

HORWOOD match anglers have booked the 4th Sunday of every month this year at Morchard Road, cracking venue and always seems to produce decent weights.

Despite a horrid wind and a very cold day it again fished well. It started hard but a few fish decided to have a feed towards the end. Very well done to John Lisle who had some proper lumps for his winning weight of 64lb 12oz from the near left hand bay, as everyone maggots seemed the bait, John pipped Paul Whitehead who fished the bridge peg and had 62lb 15oz Neilsen Jeffery managed third with 53lb 2oz from the first point just edging Graham Curnow who had 50lb 11oz caught from the left point. Cold but very enjoyable day and sure it will be a tad warmer next month, matches are capped at 14 fishing which gives everyone a bit of room.

Neilsen will be contacting all fishing members in March to see if they would like to renew memberships for 2023, numbers are limited.
