Inter Club Challenge Match – Lee Chapel vs. Aveley – Return Match – Cranham Lake 24th Sept 2006
Weather Cloudy Sunny Spells 18°C
SE (5 mph)
Relative Humidity (%): 79,
Pressure (mB): 1006, Rising,
Visibility: Very good
Another smashing day in the company of our Friends in Aveley Club.
Taking a 33 point into this 2nd & final match in the mini series Lee Chapel look favorites to take the overall match before the draw as Aveley were 3 anglers short of the ten angler team – Lee Chapel also were one short.
Draw was made with Lee Chapel on evens and Aveley the odds - We were quite well spread out on this 42 peg lake – ( See Post from July on Charity Match I fished there for details).
Fishing was hard all day – I started on the feeder and had a couple of 1 oz Perch, cam in close on the waggler then the pole – a few more small perch, - Came in close as Martin Haimowitz (Aveley) was having success on a regular basis @ 9m with single maggot. I heard a splash down towards the far end – couldn’t see but sounded big – Reports filtered up that Steve Barret had landed a 20lber Carp. It was low for everyone – As the Sun came out and the wind dropped I could see the Golden Grass carp just below the surface near the central pontoon. Then could see other carp cruising as well – Decided to revert to the tactic I use in July Long waggler with no shot on the hook length and fish on the drop – immediate success with getting the small Chublets – Good news as Barry Cope had reported that none had been caught recently and feared the Black Death had got them. The club has a license to cull and indeed one licensee (Andy ) was there when we arrived but no kills – it saw me coming he said.
I wish I had done this earlier – Just then Olly who was opposite me on peg 36 got into a lump on the pole using the Special paste close in. he landed a 13lb – Good one – I felt confident that we would win the overall match from that position – A few Chublet later and the whistle blew at 2pm - The scales told the tale and Lee Chapel ran out overall winners with a healthy 51 Point margin. 66 to 217.
Whilst packing up Boozy made a comment that he didn’t want a mention in the Blog this week. Oh dear I guess I have – But want he meant is that he did not a mention that he only managed 2 small perch for an oz, but I would not shame in that way would I. remember Steve you did finished 3rd in the 1st Match So you contributed 19 points – Nothing to be ashamed about.

Bottom. Yours truly tweaking the feeder.
Weather:
Overcast/Sunny later Drizzle at times
17 to 22 C
Baro: 1010 mB falling
Wind: SW 17-25mph gusty / breezy
Teams 10 per Club - However Lee Chapel fished with 9 after 2 no shows but Steve Boxall kindly fished for the Club after turning for a day's pleasure fish - Thanks Steve.
The Draw produced a reasonable distribution of the teams around the lake (Pegs 1,2 30 & 29) were removed from the draw and these a re shallow and do not fish well in matches.
Not the best of days fish wise very sporadic - no general pattern - Single red maggot seem to be the best option on Waggle Pole / maggot feeder.
I lost a big carp early on due to the fact like a divvy I had not set my clutch right - fundamental mistake !!.
Steve Ellis finally managed to land one of four carp - and it was the 'Frenchie' amazingly has lost a couple of pounds since last caught earlier in the year - now coming out at 18lb 2oz.
Our guests struggled all round - But Martin Haimowitz enjoyed his day and was well pleased with his 5lb 8ozs of Roach from peg 19.
Biggest cheer of the day went to that man Boozy. Took 1hr 20 mins to land a 17lb 8 oz mirror from Peg 3, one of only 3 bites he had all day. Steve Barrett had his best bag from the lake in a match (surprised me that) 18lb 12oz.
Result:
Lee Chapel 90 points, Aveley 123 Points.
So Lee Chapel take a 33 point lead into the second leg at Aveley lake in September
