LEAGUE STANDINGS AFTER MATCH 5

MATLOCK ANGLING CLUB SPRING LEAGUE EREWASH CANAL (LANGLEY MILL) MATCH 5 

On a cold but sunny day the fifth match in the league was fished on the Erewash Canal at Langley mill. Only 11 anglers fished the match with some anglers deciding to just drop the result. This was a little disappointing and unfair on those who did make the journey. It was thought that the canal would respond well to bread punch and it did for 30 minutes until the bites dried up. Mark Wain started well with 10 puts in producing 10 roach, Unfortunately that was it and Mark never had another bite. Asa Cooper caught a few roach on squatt and groundbait but struggled to keep the bites coming. In the end it was David Fowler who came out on top with a weight of  4lb 12oz, Dave caught the majority of his fish on chopped worm, including a decent sized Perch and lots of other sm.aller Perch. Second was Asa Cooper with a weight of 3lb who had a mixed bag mainly made up of roach and Perch. Coming in 3rd was Steve Allcock with a weight of 2lb 4oz with a mixed bag of roach,perch and gudgeon. Andy Fox also continued his good form to record another section win a with a weight of 15oz .

CAWDOR POND MATCH 4 10/05/2015

CAWDOR POND

On a warm and sunny day Cawdor pond produced a close fought match with Skimmers being the main species caught. The little pond however didnt fish that well, it was only 2 late carp that fell to Jeff Snow fishing in the margins that won him the section . Much to Asa Coopers annoyance who had been winning the section for most of the match with 3 decent perch which fell to Lobworm.

Taking top spot in this match was a joint affair with both David Fowler and Paul Ashley recording a weight of 15lb 6oz. Dave fishing from Hotpeg 20 was expected to win the match, but Dave just couldnt find the Carp but did manage to bag 2 and a good net of skimmers all taken on pellet. Paul Ashley joint first fishing from Peg 11 caught all skimmers and roach on a pellet approach. In second was Malcolm Bent fishing from Peg 1, Malc had 3 Carp and some Skimmers, but Malc lost 5 Carp which cost him dear in the end.  In 3rd was Mark Gegory with 9lb 5oz from Peg15, again this was mainly Skimmers taken on pellet. Match 5 will be fished on the canal at Langley mill.

TANSLEY POND MATCH 3 26/04/2015

 Match 3 at Tansley pond was slightly better than the first match of the series with most anglers managing to trouble the scales this time. Yet again though the Chub alley didn't finsh and that section was only won with 12oz. The chub must surely show again soon. The match was won by Andy Fox from Peg 4 who recorded a weight of 11lb 1oz, always a good peg if the Skimmers feed, with a slight ledge at 10 metres its always known to hold the Skimmers. Andy wasn't disappointed with a net full of them including roach and a few Perch. Coming a close second with a weight of 10lb 9oz was Asa Cooper from Peg 6 also catching Skimmers behind the island on castor and worm approach. In third place was John Barfoot from peg 21, this peg is known to be one of the deepest pegs on the pond and fishes well all year round. John caught a few Perch at his feet and also caught skimmers in open water with a pellet approach recording a weight of 6lb 1oz. The pond fished well in the open water, but the chanel is still the area to avoid. hopefully with the weather improving the carp will start to show down the chanel and make for a better match......

CAWDOR POND

With the first match being fished at Tansley Pond, it was now the turn of Cawdor pond to have the pleasure of hosting the 16 anglers competing this year. After the first match being very hard with only 8 anglers weighing in. Pre match talk when fishing at Cawdor pond is always  about who would draw Hot Peg 20 and avoiding drawing in the trees. It was Mark Wain who drew Peg 20 and he made sure everyone knew about it. Mark romped the match in the end but after 3 hours it wasnt looking good with only a few small fish in the net, Mark decided he would go for a walk and on his return and a change of bait caught 7 Carp for 40lb. In second place was Paul Ashley who fished from Peg 22 on the little pond weighing 12-4, Pauls weight consisted of 1 carp and a mixed bag of Skimmers and Roach. Steve Allcock was third with a weight of 9-3 consisting of a mixed bag of Skimmers,Perch and Roach. Both ponds fished very well with 10 anglers all weighing in over 6lb.
