13th February 2016 - Hampton WL10

A cold return to Hampton Springs this week with some close fought sections but Kenny Stuart ran out the winner with a pole and maggot caught carp and skimmer net fishing pole in the deeper water at 11-13m Kenny took top honours and the first win on Long Island not from P18 or P30. Kenny was on P11 at the end of the canal and fished a tidy match .

Second was Rick Keeley with 39lb closely followed by Ted Neild with 38lb, both off Rock and both fished the feeder for the majority of their catches. With a few other 30lb weights across both Long and Rock it fished okay given the temperature drop and only two anglers weighed less than 10lb.

Result

1st - Kenny Stuart - 46.8lb (L10)
2nd - Rick Keeley - 39.1lb (R?)
3rd - Ted Neild - 38.0lb (R3?)

6th February WL9 Conway

Another day when it rained from start to finish and to cap it all we had a bit of wind thrown in to make it a little more interesting! Several trashed brollys and a no7 section broken during the day showed Conway as its savage self

There were two balls of carp feeding and not much else really as Ian Lloyd and Ian Simpson shared a shoal in the bowl and fished method or hybrid with maggot on the hook. Ian L finished with 14 carp from next to the point with Ian S trailing on 9 from the middle of the far bank but as they were a better stamp the scales settled on 57.5lb for both and the result was a joint win.

Ehmmm.........in case you missed it Ian S with a second win on the feeder in as many months....it must have been black!!

Billy Gore fished a superb match battling the weather and 17m+ of pole and was able to present properly often enough to snare some carp and F1's from the sunken island to weigh 40.5lb for a well deserved 3rd place. If the weather had been better Billy could have been the runaway winner.

A few decent back ups with a 29lb, 25lb and 19lb but then the weights fell away sharply to 4lb and below including a blank, unheard of for Conway but as you were either on fish at some point or in the case of the top left handside.......it seemed the fish just didn't bother going there today!

Result

= 1st Ian Lloyd - 57.5lb
= 1st Ian Simpson - 57.5lb
3rd Billy Gore - 40.5lb

30th January -WL8 Hampton

A cold but dry day with a strong wind adding a real wind chill to the day. Dougie drew LOng 30 which has been consistently good of late and made no mistakes with a 53.3lb net of caro and F1's from open water on the feeder and bomb.

Ian Lloyd drew in the teeth of the wind on Rock 18 and after failing to catch on the feeder to the island started to put a few silvers and smaller carp together at 13m before having a very good last hour on a deep margin , sort of 2+1 line that catapulted him to 47.5lb including some bigger carp and a proper barbel!. Colin McPhail drew the other consistent Long peg at the moment i.e 18 and despite a few losses did enough to take 3rd for the second time this year on Hampton.....he's beginning to like Long Island.

Result

1st - Dougie Walsh - 53.3lb (Long 30)
2nd - Ian Lloyd - 47.5lb (Rock 18)
3rd - Colin McPhail - 29.5lb (Long 18)
