Charity Match - Blind Lane West Hanningfield 28th May 2006
19 anglers fished in Ed Pearces' latest match in his St Lukes Hospice series at Blind Lane - New Match lake. Special disposition by owner to fish during close season. - thank You
Weather Bright with some strong sunshine - temp 16C, Wind S 10 mph
Peg position spread out to equalize any fish movement effects due to angling pressure on this 46 peg Venue.
I fished Fished Feeder - and match rod with Puddle Chucker from 'Peg 2'. Never felt so disappointed after a match - all around were catching regular - but I only had few small common carp to the feeder on Sweetcorn carp few & far between - caught hitting a feeder to the far point bank and rolling down the bank edge - The carp must have been feeding on worms from the bank - the only natural food - Come off a foot no bites, - The fish appear still be to shoaled up after the recent rain. - Best fishing came from fishing tight to a feature - No feature - nothing much in the way of fish. Which was shown by the weights - ranging from the winner at 114lb an last at 7lb - I managed to put together 8lb 8oz equal between carp and the plentiful Roach. Olly Wagg amassed a bag of 20lb of Silvers - they were so small that I remarked that he must have been trawling for them. - But well done all the same !
I tried all sorts of hook lengths / set ups to get through these small fish but gave up and fished for them for a two hour period. I was still catching 1/2 oz roach on Size 14 and 5 maggots - Pellet / Sweetcorn no effect - Even the winner caught on feeder / maggot. They were not ready for the advanced baits yet.
At least the weather was kind and I got sunburned - Not bad for a generally poor bank Holiday and previous 10 days weather wise.
There should be some photo's shortly on the new Dynamites Bait Website http://www.dynamitebaits.com/ who sponsored the event with some prizes, when it is up and running - June
Next Up Pea Lane in the Lee Chapel Sunday League. I have not fished there before so should be interesting

Lee Chapel Sunday Match - Stambridge 7th May 2006 0900 >1500 hrs
Fished from Peg 14 at 10 metres & close in 3 metres. Using Waggler as quick fish in, hook, out, Net, Bait, In, method with Fish in Swim.
Baits: Sweetcorn and Mainly Single Red Maggot - Size 18 / 2lb Hooklink fish 2 inches over depth was best set-up for fish present in Swim which were small Skimmers and Hybrids. to 3/4lb.
Sweetcorn produced the better Skimmers. –
Total weight 20lb 7oz in 6 hr Match. Position 4th.
The Brothers Wagg finished 1st & 2nd - Olly (29Lb Mixed Bag 2 nice Carp) and Mick (Tiggy) 21lb of Silvers - who also fished with Waggler / Maggot. Ron Price finished 3rd with a mixed bag which beat me by 1oz.
Two other talking points - 3 eels caught, two at the same time by Gary / John on adjacent Pegs.
The true 'highlight’ of the day was 'Boozy' taking 35 minutes to land a double carp on size 8 elastic - bank it then handing into the keep net it slipped at the vital moment & bounced off the keep net band and into the lake - A potential Match winning fish gone.
So it is 'Taxi' for Boozy
