Stalham and District AC

Shallowbrook lakes was the venue for this week’s match
14 members turned up this week just to see if they can be victorious.
The weather was overcast with the odd glimpse of sunshine and everyone was hoping for the good day’s fishing.
We were all fishing on the far side of the Meadow lake because of the bivvy boys.
This was the first trip to this venue for some of us so there was a lot of talk at the start about what was what and how to fish.
Mark Harmer drew peg 14 which was lucky for him being the end peg. Mark caught some small skimmers on the feeder to start but decided to fish down his edge and he found to his surprise there were some carp waiting there already. Mark run out the winner weighing 58lb 4oz.
Second place goes to Mark Seaman who was fishing peg 10 and caught carp on the pellet waggler and weighed 35lb 10oz.
Dave Agass was making a successful return this week from his operation and came third fishing the feeder and weighed 26lb 8oz. Well done to them three!
Overall it fished quite hard.

The venue was the Old Stables and with 14 members turning up, it was a full house. Yet again this weekend the sun was shining for us and we were all expecting a good day’s fishing.
So, with the draw done it was ready to go for us to see if anyone could stop Dennis Willis. But he had different ideas and ran away with another win fishing peg 10. Dennis weighed 87lb for a comfortable win this time.
Second place goes to Mark Harmer who was fishing peg 12 and weighed 59lb 12oz.

Cobbleacre was this week’s venue
The weather was going to be fantastic so all of the guys were expecting to enjoy a nice day fishing.
13 members turned up which was a little bit low ( but you know it was Cobbleacre )
With Dave Agass nicely recovering at home from his surgery (Speedy recovery!) , he handed over the responsibility of running the match to Mark Harmer who did his best to make everything go smoothly.
Strangely this week’s winner was Mark Harmer who pulled peg 1 out and won comfortably with 38lb 4oz
Second place fishing peg 6 was Mark Seaman who weighed 20lb exactly.
Fishing peg 5 was Mark Charlwood who weighed 16lb 10oz and was the third today. ( sorry about the overhanging branches, Mark)

He was closely followed by Alex Watson who was second with 90lb 2oz.

We all travelled to Bartles Lodge
13 members made the long trip all hoping that at last it would be their lucky week.
The weather forecast was for sunshine and the possibility of a heavy shower which, fortunately, we didn’t get.
Everyone was unsure how it would fish because of the heavy rain during the week.
First place goes to Mr Mike Dossena. He was fishing peg 3 and caught 33 carp and a few skimmers for a total weight of 86lb 8oz. Well done Michael!
Second place fishing peg 1 was Mr Mark Harmer who caught 29 carp down his right-hand edge for 68lb 12 oz.
Good job!
Third place goes to Mr Mark Seaman who was fishing peg 12 and caught 25 carp on the feeder to the island down the edge for a total of 68lb 4oz.

Just would like to mention that a half way through the match we had a visit from what we all thought was Usain Bolt as Dave Gipson had to chase the resident duck half way around the lake as it had taken one his top kits 🤣🤣(That lightened the mood for those who were struggling for bites).
