The picture to the left shows 9 Year old Harrison Wittering, with his  1lb 3oz Perch, caught from permanent peg 21, in early January 2012. It was Harrison’s first ever fish.

Well done young man.I think we have a new rising star here.

The picture to the right shows one of the clubs more mature anglers in the shape of Dave Warren with another clonking fish of well over the pound mark. Dave was in permanent peg 12 and used red maggot as bait.

With plenty of silver fish also being caught (including Chub,Ide,Roach and Rudd) and even the odd Carp showing the pool is really showing what a fine winter venue it is. This is shown  in the fact that the first in the latest series of  winter silver fish only matches is already a sell out.

This year we are revamping the doubles competition as in the past we have had problems with anglers being let down by their partners for various reasons. To help combat this the committee have come up with the idea of a teams of three doubles competition. The way it works is actually very simple, teams of three anglers are drawn and if all three turn up then only the best two WEIGHTS will count.

The Drawn Teams Are :-

Singles Knock Out Competition Draw 2012.

1st Round To Be Fished At Hawford Bridge Fisheries Reddings Pool On  10th June 2012.

The above photo was sent in by local match ace

and journalist Alf  Hands. Who took his catch in less

than four hours on a cold January morning.

The November weather may have been dank and cold but you could not have wished for a better atmosphere for this years Fur and Feather match fished on a mist shrouded Club Pool.  Twenty three of  the Club’s finest anglers (from both the match group and day membership) lined up to fish for a prize list that would have done any club in the country proud.

Although the fishing was unusually hard due to the drop in overnight temperature and the shear number of anglers around the pool everyone seemed to enjoy themselves but were relieved when the all out was sounded and we could all go back to The Headquarters for a pint and a warm.

Many thanks must go to DAVE WARREN who has not only ran this match with his usual efficient and calm manner but  has also managed to put together a prize list that is the envy of bigger clubs.  Dave has already started to work on next years prize list and is on the look out for more goodies so if you have anything  please contact him. A lot of this years prizes were donated by people who support The Club in an indirect way and we all should send out a big thanks to them for without their generosity Dave would struggle to keep the cost of this match relatively low.

Once again we must also send a big thank you to our hosts at The Whitehall Inn in Rushwick Ron and Fiona who not only allow us to use the pub as a base but encourage our fundraising activities. Last but not least I would like to thank on behalf of The Club the regulars of  The Whitehall who never fail to dig deep into their pockets whenever we have an event like this.

Congratulations to Nigel Crane on winning this years event and here’s looking forward to

next season.

    THE PRIZE LIST

The latest phrase of fish stocking was completed on Thursday 14^th July this year.

A further 2000 plus of mirror, common and crucian hybrids were introduced to the club pool, at a retail cost of c£1.20 per fish. (Where does the money come from?)

The introduction of these fish, following last year’s stocking should ensure fish succession for years to come.

Members and clubs renting the pool should enjoy the benefits in terms of catches when fishing.

The committee will continue, subject to funds attempt to continue with our stocking policy to ensure that our venue is the one people want to fish.

Thanks to all involved for their help on the day.
