8th December - Hampton Alice/Poplar

Well it was the last match of the normal season for WBAC and we found Hampton half iced over so it was going to be tough after Eggy Ferry had been on the previosu Sunday and less than 3lb won it!!

Jeff Grantham drew Poplars nearest the entrance and had a lovely net with mainly silvers on caster at 6m backed up with a few big 1lb+ perch and one stray carp for 27.2lb. John Heald also drew Poplars and managed a mainly carp net for second with 22.9lb after a late run that had Jeff worried. Steve Brew was the top  rod on Alice with 19.7lb made up of just two carp on bunches of maggots and 4 silvers from opposite the roadside by the aerator. Sections went to Dougie Walsh on Poplars with 12.8lb, Steve Gilmour on Alice roadside with 9.0lb and Ian Simpson on the electric box side with 8.5lb.

All told it fished okay given the conditions and compared to the previous week only 2 weighed less than 3lb

Result

1st - Jeff Grantahm - 27.2lb
2nd - John Heald - 22.9lb
3rd - Steve Brew - 19.7lb
Sec - Dougie Walsh - 12.2lb
Sec - Steve Gilmour - 9.0lb

1st December - Conway WL3

Result

Conway was in a strange mood and the carp generally never came out to play as a cold wind went down the lake away from the car park. With a lower than normal turnout the bowl area was pegged given it had been the place to draw recently for carp but with the cool wind it was the pegs nearer the carp park that threw up the few carp caught led by Barry Davis who snared a carp or two before concentrating on the roach close in to take top spot with 31.6lb from the white buoy peg. Jeff Grantham pelleted it as usual and from the car park side of the point and had F1's and skimmers for second and 28.9lb.

Dougie Walsh continued his good start to the winter league with 3rd and 26.1lb comprising mainly carp from opposite the point then all the rest of the weights were all but carp free zones. Ian Simpson was best of the rest after two hours trying for carp binned it and went shallow for roach to take 4th with 25.1lb........the Conway curse striking again....."should I do carp should I do roach" and doing neither very well!!!

1st - Barry Davis (Guest) - 31.6lb
2nd - Jeff Grantham - 28.9lb
3rd - Dougie Walsh - 26.1lb
