12th December - Hampton Fur & Feather

Eighteen fools turned up for the annual Fur and Feather and with Alice Poplars and Oasis available everyone would have a lot of room but most still wanted Alice due to the larger carp and abundance of skimmers on certain pegs.

It turned out that way too with Ian Lloyd making no mistakes off the famed winter bay peg and running out the winner with 36lb followed by Dave Gentile off the next peg with 26lb although Dave was short of carp but made up for it with plenty of decent skimmers. Ian Simpson was third with 24lb off Oasis made up of small carp, blades and crucians. Harry Simpson managed to take top weight off Poplars with 12lb and a section win.

A cold wet and dark day as we weighed in late due to being split over three lakes! Special thanls to those who helped out by not weighing in haha! Dennis, Alec, Trevor, Henry etc

I can't not also mention Ian Lloyd managed to overtake Billy and Dougie in the Angler of the Year and Matchman of the Year to take both titles at the final weigh in of the year. He also won the 2015 KO this year buy winning at Hampton so nearly did a complete clean sweep. I can't remember who stopped him........err me! (unluckly Lloydly a brilliant year though and a new record weight for the year too!)

Result

1st - Ian Lloyd - 36lb
2nd - Dave Gentile - 26lb
3rd - Ian Simpson - 24lb

5th December - WL4 Hampton

Absolutely wild with 50mph+ gusts and only two fools even tried the pole, everyone else relied on the method, bomb or feeder. Billy Gore ran out the winner with 65lb fishing the method with maggot towards the islands and into open water. Ian Simpson, yes, yes I know fishing the method, managed to chuck it somewhere close to the far side enough times to catch for 90 minutes and finish second with 45lb. Rick lost enough to have pushed Billy Gore close but the carp knew where the aerator was and left Rick ruing what might have been with third place and 35lb again all on the feeder.

The best news though was despite the unbelievable winds no broken gear bar Stevie G's landing net that the wind broke, not a fish I hasten to add!

Result

1st - Billy Gore - 65.12 (Long 18)
2nd - Ian Simpson - 44.5lb (Long 30)
3rd - Rick Keeley - 34.5lb (Long 28)

21st November - WL3 Conway

Well Conway is not fishing its usual self and the framers all drew the bowl and managed to snare a few carp with Paul Robinson on the back bank getting the biggest with a 14lb beast.

The roach fishing was very poor again unless you had carp you struggled for bites with the top end by the islands only being won with just over double figures and that included 1 carp! Lets hope a frost or two settles them down.

Result

1st - Paul Robinson - 36.10lb
2nd - Alec Rioch - 26.10lb
3rd - Rick Keeley - 25.14lb
