26th Glebe Payments

Just a reminder as we have at least one reserve desperate to get on the Glebe!

You have until Monday 13th July to pay Keith £100 in total.

NB - Billy, Alec £65 as only staying one night and fishing 2 not 3 days
       - Ste G £70 as booked his own accommodation before I did he was so keen!!

At July's meeting we will be drawing the teams for the Ronnie Ashbrooke trophy and sorting the pegging, lake draw and any seeding of anglers to make sure we can share the winnings around.

I am sure you can appreciate 23 anglers, teams of both 2 and 3 (to make 23 work), all seeded, with sections across 6 lakes over 3 days, hotels and peg fees to pay takes a bit of planning so please sort Keith out by 13th July and confirm attendance as we will struggle to replan after than and you will loose your deposit as we are paying Roy and the hotel upfront.

I'm there with H, Robbo, Col Cook and Ste B on 6th and 7th July so I'll do my usual update on how its fishing but based on a few trips already its business as usual with probably less fish on feeder lines and more than ever on pole lines with corn and pellet still doing the business.

I fished the TF 2 dayer with H and Robbo and we had 149lb, 142lb, 136lb, 111lb, 60lb, 40lb weights from average draws

13th June - Hampton - Long Island

The talk at the draw was had they spawned and with a few regular WBAC stars on holiday or at the races everyone had loads of space and the forecast heavy rain all day looked like it was going to miss us.

For most it ended up being a tough day with no-one being able to really find a line that would keep producing bar Jason Jones who caught small stockies on pellet on the long pole and  added a few edge fish to finish first out the frame with 33lb. Ian Simpson managed to keep rotating a few lines and worked out you could snare a better shallow fish then had to leave it and move before going back to get another shallow fish and these 6-8lb fish as well as a few stockies, F1's and tench from the margins and the deck saw him run out a winner with 50.5lb.

Kenny Stuart struggled on the long and short pole lines but managed to find some corn margin fish willing to feed in 2 and 3 fish bursts and ended with enough to take 2nd with 43.6lb. Billy Gore completed the frame with the late late show finding some willing margin fish having struggled in open water and on the feeder but 39.5lb was enough.

Result

1st - Ian Simpson - 50.5lb
2nd - Kenny Stuart - 43.6
3rd - Billy Gore - 39.5lb
