Stalham and District AC

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.
In third place was Ash Dennington who was fishing peg 1 and weighed 46lb 12oz.
Well done to them three!
Overall it fished quite well with some good backup weights.

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)
So for the first time this season it is a clean sweep for the Marks.
Well done !

17 members made the trip today all hoping it would be their lucky day fishing with the weather being really pleasant and warm with a little wind.
On arrival there were plenty of fish moving so everyone was expecting to catch after the recent match results.
However, it didn’t turn out to be as easy as we had planned. Everybody caught fish but still some struggled.
First place goes to Kevin Lawson who caught carp all day and weighed 91lb 1oz.
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.
It is well done too! ( just one more fish Mark 😉
Overall the fishing wasn’t great for this venue at this time of the year.

Second place goes to Jon Burton who was fishing peg 10 and weighed 42lb 8oz
And the third was John Hehir with 37lb 12oz which was only 6oz in front of the 4th place from peg 14.
Well done to them three!
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).

The weather was much warmer this week so we all felt it was going to be a pleasant time fishing until we were told that the fish had started to spawn and we had to fish a meter from the edge

Overcast conditions greeted us this week with quite a strong wind which made fishing rather difficult.
Alex Watson pulled peg 9 from the bag and ran away with things for an easy win
Alex caught steady all day down his left hand edge. He weighed 92lb 8oz which included 3 very large carp ( lucky old bandit 😉)

Well done to them three!👍

We traveled to Melton Pond 4. Eighteen members made the long trip this week to see if it would be their lucky day.
The weather this week was much more like summer unlike the previous weeks, adn with Mr Seaman being on holiday this week, everyone had a chance to win ?
Alex Watson pulled peg 19 out of the bag and put 80lb 10oz on the scales for first place. His catch included some really big carp.
Mark Harmer was fishing peg 2 and caught 4 fish very fast at the start and then struggled for the middle part of the match and then in the last an hour and a half had 7 large carp and weighed 68lb 12oz for being second.
Unusually this week there was no Mr Charlwood in third. Instead Steve Jackman weighed 60lb 13oz for the third place. He also caught some nice big carp.
Well done to them three!

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 .
