Ladies Matches

Ladies Match report – Shalford – 8th October 2011

Unfortunately, due to illness, hospital attendance and holiday, I was the only member to turn up for this Match. Although I had the cold wind blowing from the River and the rain on and off during the day, the fishing was the best from this venue in a while. I caught everything on my ‘Yank n Bank’ pole and used small hook pellets as bait.

At the finish of the match I had a net full of various fish totalling 44lb 11oz and I weighed in three carp of 7lb 11oz, 6lb 6oz and 5lb 4oz giving me a total weight for the match of

First Kathy Chisnall 68lb 11oz

It was such a shame that more members did not attend the match to experience this good days fishing. Hopefully by the time the dates for next seasons matches are set, more Ladies and Couples will be attending the Ladies and Mixed Pairs matches.

Mixed Pairs Match – Armigers – 3rd September 2011

Another Match but the same problem. Yet again upon our arrival at the venue we found members set up and fishing on the Car Park Bank of the top lake. For some of the Ladies and Mixed Pairs Matches we have only been given a set area of the venue but still members do not read the handbook, website of even the bright yellow signs on the notice boards.

Once we had settled down for the Match, yet again Armigers did not disappoint and a good days fishing was had by all even with the strong winds. Here are the results

First Val & Barry Burlton 190lb 15oz

Second Kathy Chisnall & Nick Mitchell 127lb 13oz

Third Gloria & Ron Chisnall 62lb 5oz

Hicks Farm - 13th August 2011

Another Ladies Match and another hard days fishing. The heavy rain just about held off but the constant drizzle and not much sun, meant that a normally productive water was disappointing. Again the same faces attended even though we are trying everything possible to get more Ladies to fish the Matches as well as the mixed pairs. The last Mixed Pairs match for this season is at Armigers Lake on the 3rd September and it would be really good to see a few more members attend.

Results are

Val Burlton 44lb 12oz

Kathy Chisnall 25lb 5oz

Match report for the last Pairs Match at Rectory Ponds on 23rd July 2011

Considering the weights that have been caught at Rectory in the past, the results of the Pairs Match did not fully live up to expectations. Considering it was the 3rd week of July the weather was pretty bad and very windy, which meant the large amount of Carp in the Top Lake were not interested for the cold parts of the day. The same faces turned up, which was very disappointing as we know there are plenty of couples within the Club who would enjoy fishing these matches and it would be so good to see more people attend. The results at the end of the day were as follows

Val & Barry 138lb 0oz

Kathy & Nick 52lb 8oz

Match report for the Mixed Pairs Match at Armigers on 9th July 2011.

As normal, Armigers delivered a good head of fish on a very windy day. It would be nice to see a few new faces at these matches. A good day was, as always, had by all, however the end result was:

1st Val & Barry 220lb 0oz

2nd Kathy & Nick 171lb 0oz

Match Report 25/6/11

The first match of the season did not start well as the weather was cold and miserable and to add to that, upon arriving at the venue we found 4 members set up and established in their Bivvy’s along the Car Park Bank of the venue which was the only part closed for our match. Once again handbooks are not being read by members before setting out to a venue to fish. Once fishing started, the fish came on and off for most of the day and the sun came out. No big fish were caught but continuous action.

First place went to Val Burlton with 23lb 7oz

Second place went to Kathy Chisnall with 9lb 1oz
