Stalham and District AC

16 members turned up this week to see if we could stop Mark Seaman making it three on the trot (but we all failed). With the weather cold wet and a little windy the fishing was always going to be difficult.

Mark Seaman drew peg 34 and made no mistake in winning again with 78lb 4oz.

Alex Watson was in second only 5lb behind Mark with 73lb 13oz from peg 27 ( the flyer). Once again it was Mark Charlwood in third with 49lb 6oz from peg 20. Well done to all them three!

Mark C and Chris must not forget their spectacles next time as they both muddled up and fished from the wrong pegs.? Most others had an OK day’s fishing .

16 hopefuls made the trip. The weather made a sudden change back to wet, windy and cold. And that considerably affected the fishing with only five lucky fishermen having double figure weights.
Let’s hope summer gets here soon.

The forecast was for light rain by 10 and the good old British weather didn’t let us down. So before the match our thoughts were not very optimistic.
Having drawn our pegs it was time to start.
So the winner this week was Mark Harmer. He had drawn the end peg 11 ( our pegs) on the far side and weighed 18lb 4oz. Good job!
John Higgingson was a very close second from the peg 15 with 15lb 8oz which was his first frame in the summer( he said so).Well done John!
The third place this week was shared again between Mark Charlwood and Jon Burton both weighing 10lb 8oz.
For everybody else it was a very hard day fishing with only one other double figure weight.

This weeks match was held at Melton Pond 4 on Sunday the 23rd March. Only 13 of us turned out this week which was due to 4 cancellations. The weather this week was much warmer and a lot less windy. Lucky Trevor Dodson was the run away winner this week. Trevor caught fish from the off and steadily through the day, and weighed a very good 52lb 12oz which was a very good weight on a very hard day. Jon Burton was on the next peg and weighed 28lb 8oz for the second place. 3rd for a second week running was Mr consistent Mark Charlwood. Mark struggled for bites and only had 1 fish until the last hour when he caught 2 large carp for a very good 23lb 14oz (3 fish). Well done to those three. Most others had a very hard day fishing with the odd fish being caught.

Old Stables – Sunday 17th March 2019

So here we go again. The Stalham AC summer series. Round 1 was at The Old Stables, North Walsham. 13 hopefuls turn out for the opening match. Reports from the match on Wednesday were not good so expectations were a little low. With quite strong wind and a few showers forecast it was time to see who would pull the winning number out of the bag. Mark Harmer drew peg 7 out, and caught small carp and roach for the first half, but then he decided to have a look under the willow tree which has been void of fish all winter. But to his surprise they were there and he caught steadily till the end to finish in first place with 42lb 8oz. 2nd place goes to Tony Wilkinson from peg 12. Tony caught 21lb 12oz which was good considering he had the strong wind blowing straight in his face. Well done Tony. Mark Charlwood and Dave Paynter were joint 3rd. Both weighing 18lb 8oz. Overall it fished well, considering the conditions, and it was much better than last year. Hopefully next week the conditions will be much better- we will see.
