17th Dec 2016 Hampton - Fur n Feather

A good turnout at Hampton for the Fur n Feather saw 20 split across Long, Meadow and Rock with everyone expecting Long to take the honours and Rock to be hardest draw.

In reality its been the reverse and all credit to Jason Connah who has drawn one of the least fancied pegs i.e. Rock p3 and fished a brilliant match from there in my opinion to end with 34.5lb of mainly carp on the feeder fishing very light gear with pellet and corn to the right hand island. This just pipped Barry Davis with 33.5lb, again from Rock p15 (I think) who fished maggot short into the deep water that the peg is known for and included some proper big perch! Mike White drew well and made no mistakes off Long p30 to record 30.7lb seeing off that Hampton regular Dougie Walsh on p32 by a couple of pound in the end.

Overall Rock and Meadow fished okay with more than half the weights on both lakes breaking 20lb and it was the originally favoured Long that many struggled on.

Well done to Barry Davis on securing the John Heald KO on the day and to Ian Lloyd for topping the Angler and Matchman of the Year for a second successive year with Billy Gore and Dougie Walsh the ever consistent chasing pair.

Finally I cant go without saying Jason was clearly on fire with only 75mins to set up, he wins the match, wins the Golden Peg and draws himself out as a Fur N Feather £20 winner!!!! I'm not complaining though as he also drew me out...thanks partner!!!

Have a great Christmas and for those not out on 30th Dec at Hampton a great New Year too!

Result

1st - Jason Connah - 34.5lb
2nd - Barry Davis - 33.5lb
3rd - Mike White - 30.7lb

10th Dec 2016 WL2 Hampton Long/Meadow

First time we have used two lakes and a section of 4 on Meadow looked good leaving 9 pegs on Long Island and with lots of fish boshing before the all in and mild temperatures all looked good for a few fish.

As soon as 5 feeders all started peppering the old island the boshing stopped and the fish sulked away. A few early feeder fish for a one or two soon faded and it was the pole that dominated the middle and end of the match. Steve Brew drew the "life buoy" flyer and made no mistakes with some early carp topped up with a good run of carp on maggot at 8m to weigh 54lb. Jason Connah pushed him close from p28 but lost fish cost him the win finishing short on 49.4lb catching on corn and pellet on the long pole. Ian Lloyd took 3rd with a fast finishing 40.6lb having wasted half the match trying to make the bomb/feeder line work only to find that the pole/maggot line was "black" with carp, big skimmers and ide.

Overall it's fished well with 35-26-20-20 back ups and all bar one breaking double figures

Result
1st Ste Brew 54.0
2nd Jason Connah 49.4
3rd Ian Lloyd 40.6
