The season got of to a fine start, for those who had it the breakfast was excellent, the weather forecasters got it wrong as the expected rain didn't turn up which is a bit of a change for a Reel People match, and to put the icing on the cake I won the match, which is a bit of a novelty these day's
Special thanks to Shane and Craig for doing the weigh in.

Yet another fine day weather wise and a very close fought match between the first three, Dave Crowson obviously got fed up with looking at his watch so he dropped it in the lake, along came his knight in shining armour (me) who rolled up his sleeve and got the watch first dip, pity the bloody carp weren't as responsive for me, onwards and upwards to the May Day match at Lords Lane in a fortnight.
Special thanks to the Float Fish Farm owners and staff for doing the weighing in

Once again we enjoyed an un Reel People weather day, a slight breeze and warm with it, mind you we had the inevitable whirlwind which apparently took Robs top kit for a swim, thanks to Andy Raspberry for rescuing it. Thanks to Dena, Florence and all the helpers for the warm reception, free tea and coffee and for weighing in.

Well I can only put it down to climate change,four matches fished and no rain,all day sunshine and a gentle breeze,which for Float Fish Farm is a miracle in itself and with two weights over one hundred pounds what more could one want,thanks are due to the Float Fish staff for weighing us in as usual and looking forward to fishing the new lake there in September.Brian Ogden came to have a look at us on his way back from Duxford,but as he was flying at 4,000 feet we must have looked pretty small !.

Well the weather gods that have been shining on us so far got their revenge here,foggy drive to the venue,cold breeze when we got there,bit of sunshine then the heavens opened with a vengeance,on top of that the lake fished the hardest I've known it but congratulations to the members who did manage to winkle out a few fish and in particular to Vic George for defending the pairs trophy he won last year.Onwards and upwards to Narborough for the next match

Several members were on holiday, Rod Crossley is in hospital and some were put off by the inclement weather forecast, it turned out to be not quite as bad as we were led to believe, odd showers of light rain until of course the weigh in when it got a bit heavy, all in all we had a good day with some very good back up weights, the fishery allowed our short walkers to drive to their pegs and the rest of us dropped our gear at the peg and then parked up, many thanks to the fishery staff for placing the nets behind the pegs and doing the weigh in.
Due to the weather the winners photo got washed out so Rob proudly gave his winners trophy to granddaughter Rosie
Tom forgot to mention in his write up how Rob fished fantastically and his victory was a great sporting achievement, likened to England winning the world cup.
Tom didn't forget !!,Rob now has to do it again on the extra match that has been put in the programme for August 14th !!!

It was good to welcome our friends from Milton Keynes again but unfortunately the lake didn't fish as well as it could,cold rain going in over the previous few days didn't help perhaps but at least we kept dry on the day,many thamks to John and Roz for their raffle prizes,weighing in and the special concession Reel People get in being allowed to drive to the pegs.

A beautifully sunny, warm day made the fishing a little hard, the Carp were cruising everywhere on lake 5 but most weren't playing ball. Vic landed 4 carp, Rob lost 3 carp, although he did have a 4lb 2oz bream to equal the seasons best, a few other anglers lost fish too. Paul Williams, returning to fish with the club after a few years absence was absolutely ecstatic to finish in second place and with it winning his first ever trophy, well done Paul.
The day was made extra special by our wonderful hosts, the Manderson Trust, we received a superb greeting in the morning along with tea and bacon sandwich's, cold drinks to the peg in the afternoon, weighing in and a bbq after the match, thank you for a great day!

The Inaugural Committee Cup match was won by Tina Bunting with 22lb 10ozs of carp and silvers, absolutely battering Tom and the others, assisted by fantastic coaching by Rob. Guest winner was Barry Maile with 55lb 6ozs which included a lovely 5lb 6oz Barbel. Mark Howard caught his personal best Chub 2lb 6ozs.
Rob has wished for some time to hold a match for committee members and a guest of their choice as a thank you for the work they put in over the year. It was a great success and something that will hopefully continue.
