Match Results

18/04/2024 - A. Hold
Andy`s mid-week match was played out on the Lambwath pond on Thur.18th.April. After the second night of a light frost the day was overcast throughout with a freshening westerly wind that became moderately strong as the match progressed becoming rather cold with the temperature no higher than 8 degrees. The threatened rain thankfully held off until the end of the match. Despite the cold conditions the weigh-in threw up some decent weights with Paul doing extremely well on his birthday to win the match with a very good weight of 107lbs.12ozs. from Peg 30. Happy birthday Paul and well done on the victory. Phil in Peg 12 claimed the runner-up spot with a very good 82lbs.12ozs. despite going home for a warmer coat during the match. What might have happened had he fished the whole match ?. Last place in the winners frame went to Lance who managed 47lbs.10ozs. from Peg 26. Just outside the frame in fourth position was organiser Andy with his 45lbs.1oz. from Peg 2. All in all a match fished in cold windy conditions that threw up some decent weights at the top of the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big "Ken`s" winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.14th.April. The day was dry with a mixture of sunshine and high cloud pushed through on a fresh to moderate westerly wind that held temperatures to 14 degrees although it felt cooler directly in the wind. Looking over the match as it progressed the fish appeared slow to come to the nets so a series of big weights looked out of the question. This proved correct to a degree as Steve was the only one to top the 100lbs. mark and duly took the victory with a decent weight of 110lbs.3ozs. He not only won the match as he was lucky enough to draw the golden peg and made the most of it and cleaned out the accumulated pot. Well done Steve. His winning weight gave him a comfortable cushion of 39lbs. over second place Craig who brought 70lbs.13ozs. to the scales from Peg 7. It was a close run affair for the last place in the winners frame which after close scrutiny of the scales went to Tim in Peg 2 with his 68lbs.3ozs. leaving Andy Kelly to settle for fourth spot falling less than 1lb. adrift of the higher place managing 67lbs.9ozs. from Peg 24. Summing up. It was a very profitable day for Steve and the weights proved very competitive for the lower places although they were probably less than expected. Congratulations to all placed participants.

07/04/2024 - Bluebell A.C.
The Bluebell club held a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.7th.April. After a welcome night of no overnight rain the day was a mixture of sunshine and fast moving dark clouds driven over by a strong to gale force south westerly wind. Despite the strong wind the temperature held up well reaching a comfortable 16 degrees. The wind was also beginning to make an improvement to the very wet ground conditions. The down side was it would make pole fishing difficult out in front. The wind was blowing straight down the pond towards the car park and speculation was that pegs at that end of the pond would do well. This was proved correct as at the weigh-in Luke in Peg 30 had a bit of a runaway win with a excellent weight of 129lbs.13ozs. The runner up slot went the way of Keith who brought 78lbs.10ozs, to the scales from Peg 10. Last place in the winners frame went to Colin in the adjacent Peg 12 with his 71lbs.3ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth spot was Pete Wardill who managed 61lbs.13ozs. in Peg 7. All in all a decent match despite the difficult conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

06/04/2024 - A.A..C.
A.A.C`s first summer league match of the season took part on the Moat pond on Sat.6th.Apr. After more heavy overnight rain that has done nothing to improve the underfoot conditions around the whole complex and lift the water levels in the ponds to a high level. The conditions are the worst I have seen in almost 30 years here. The day was dry with a mixture of warm sunshine and fast moving clouds driven through on a strong to gale force southerly wind. The temperature as forecast reached a unseasonal high of 20 degrees. Early season hopes are usually high and at the weigh-in it was Darren in Peg 7 who claimed the victory with a decent weight of 62lbs.5ozs. Paul claimed the runner-up slot bringing 50lbs.12ozs. to the scales from Peg 10. Last place in the frame went to Andy in Peg 22 with his 37lbs.1oz. Summing up, it was a early season match of decent weights at the top of the order but not reaching hoped for levels. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s winter league resumed on Lambwath pond on Sun.31st.March. and what a difference a day makes. After yesterday`s very pleasant conditions the morning here started with fairly thick mist and overcast conditions. There was a light easterly breeze that freshened to moderate around mid morning which cleared the mist but the total cloud cover remained for the best part of the day. It remained cold in the wind and the temperature struggled to reach 9 degrees. Due to the conditions is was doubtful if yesterdays weights could be achieved today. This proved correct as at the weigh-in it was Craig who is on a bit of a run at the moment who took the win with a decent weight of 87lbs.13ozs. from Peg 8. He was followed home by Steve in Peg 21 with his 84lbs.9ozs. How unlucky was he ? on the golden peg. One more 4lb.fish would have won him the substantial money pot. Hard luck Steve! Last place in the frame went to Colin who managed 79lbs.15ozs. from Peg 15. Gary Shepherd finished just outside the winners frame in fourth with 66lbs.3ozs. from Peg 2. Only 4lbs adrift in Peg 28 was Mike Lloyd with 62lbs.10ozs in Peg 28. All in all a very competitive match of decent weights that held up well down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

30/03/2024 - Karl Franks
After our re-opening Karl returned to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.30th.March. The day was very bright from the off with plenty of sunshine and high white clouds moving through on a freshening south east wind. It was a very pleasant day with the temperature reaching a comfortable 14 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times there appeared to be a fair amount of fish coming to the nets. This was proved correct at the weigh-in with Matty bringing a excellent weight of 169lbs.10ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Well done Mathew. He was followed home by Gary with another very good effort with his 149lbs.14ozs. from Peg 7. Organiser Karl took the last place in the frame with his weight of 128lbs. 8ozs. a weight that would have won many a match from Peg14. Just outside the winners frame in fourth place was Tony Codling who also broke the "ton" mark managing 104lbs.12ozs. in Peg 21. Summing up, it was a match of excellent weights at the top of the order although they all came from the corner pegs with middle of the pond pegs not competing. Congratulations to all placed participants.

28/03/2024 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match was held on the Moat pond on Thur.28th.March. The day was dry and overcast with a fresh westerly breeze that was surprisingly cold for the direction with the temperature rising no higher than 10 degrees. This pond has just been re-stocked so the expectations were high for some big weights. Things did not quite work out that way as at the weigh-in Phil in Peg 7 claimed the victory with a decent weight of 68lbs.10ozs. Things went down hill from this point with Clive in Peg 28 only needing 25lbs 2ozs. to take the runner-up slot. Organiser Andy framed once more taking third place with his 20lbs.5ozs. from Peg 4. Summing up. It was a good winning weight for Phil who was probably assisted by the strong breeze blowing directly onto his peg. Disappointingly the rest of the weights fell away quickly down the order. Better thing to come hopefully. Congratulations to all placed participants.

24/03/2024 - Ron`s Rovers
Ron brought his rovers to fish a early season match on the Moat pond. the match was fished on Pegs 15 to 30 only. The day was dry for a change with plenty of sunshine along with some cloud driven south by a strong northerly wind that kept the temperature down to 9 degrees in the wind although it felt very comfortable in the sun and out of the wind. This is the first match on the Moat pond for some time so the outcome was unsure. It turned out that Graham who was pegged in one of the exposed pegs took the victory bringing 41lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. It was a close fought affair at the top of the order with only 5lbs. covering the top three! but Graham edged it by going for the silver fish when the carp were not feeding during the morning. Good thinking Graham. Kevin claimed the runner-up spot with his 39lbs.6ozs. from Peg 17. Organiser Ron was pegged in the wind on Peg 27 but managed to take the last place in the frame weighing 36lbs.6ozs. All in all a very close fought match at the top of the order with mid range weights probably down to the fact that the carp refused to feed during the first half of the match. Congratulations to all placed participants.

21/03/2024 - A. Hold
After our closure, Andy`s midweek matches returned to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Thur.21st.March. The match was fished on the L.H. side of the rope only. Sadly the underfoot conditions are still not as we would like them due to irritating spells of rain after a few days of drying conditions. The day was dry but overcast with a strong westerly wind that kept the temperature down to a rather cold 8 degrees.. Due to very little fishing in the last couple of months on these ponds it was a guessing game as to the end result ?. At the weigh-in it was that man Andy again who claimed the win with a very good early season weight of 109lbs.13ozs. from Peg 2. This was the peg that the other anglers fancied although Andy had a tough day sat with the strong cold wind in his face throughout the match. Well done Andy!. Paul took the runner-up slot bringing 34lbs. to the scales from peg 26. Last place in the frame went to Clive in Peg 28. who scraped together 28lbs.2ozs. Summing up it was a runaway win for Andy in very windy and cold conditions with weights falling away down the order. Things will get better as the fish spread out after their winter rest. Congratulations to all placed participants.

17/03/2024 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s winter league returned to our ponds for the first match in the last month due to wet weather closure of our ponds. The match took place on Lambwath pond on Sun.17th.Mar. Unfortunately long periods of overnight rain that continued until mid morning went a long way to ruin any improvement in ground conditions. After the rain it was overcast with a light south westerly wind until the cloud broke up to give some very welcome warm sunshine during the afternoon allowing the temperature to rise to a vey warm 15 degrees. Hopes for good weights in this early spring match did not materialise as at the weigh-in Andy claimed the honours with a mid range weight of 57lbs.12ozs. from Peg 28. Craig in the adjacent Peg 30 took the runner up slot with his 51lbs. dead. Last place in the frame went to Gary who brought 36lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 15. Just outside the frame in fourth place was 'Big Ken' himself who managed 26lbs.1oz. from Peg 21. Summing up, it was a match of less than hoped for weights but hopefully things will improve in the not too distant future. Well done to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s winter league returned to Lambwath pond on Sun.18th.Feb. After more unwanted heavy overnight rain that managed to clear away before the start of the match the morning was mainly cloudy with a north westerly breeze. The clouds broke up after lunch to give some very welcome spells of warm sunshine and as the breeze dropped the temperature rose to a very comfortable 12 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times it was pleasing to see fish coming to the nets and at the weigh-in it was Big Ken himself who claimed the honours bringing a excellent winter weight of 86lbs7ozs. to the scales from Peg 13, lucky for some! The runner -up slot went to Mike in Peg 25 who managed 64lbs.8ozs. but claimed to have been close to the win if he had not lost so many fish off the hook. Last place in the winners frame went to Craig in Peg 2 with his 50lbs.13ozs. keeping the Swyer name firmly in the front runners today. Just outside the frame in fourth position was Gary Shepherd with his 39lbs.4ozs. from Peg 11. All in all a a good match of excellent winter weights. Lets hope this is the start of things to come. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek matches returned to Lambwath pond on Thursday 15th. February. The match was fished on the R.H. bank of the pond only. The day was mainly overcast with a few brief brighter periods. There was a light to fresh southerly breeze with the temperature achieving a excellent high for this time of the year of 12 degrees. The big downside is the tremendous amount of rain we have had and are still getting this winter that makes the underfoot conditions very poor and much care is required whilst negotiating the banks. I saw little of the proceedings as the match moved on but at the weigh-in it was Paul who claimed the victory weighing 30lbs.9ozs. from Peg 8. He was followed home by organiser Andy who fell just over 3lbs. adrift managing 26lbs.15ozs. from the adjacent peg 9. Last place in the frame went to Bry. a new angler to me so apologies to him for not knowing his surname. He brought 10lbs.4ozs. to the scales from Peg 12. All in all a match of winter weights probably not helped by the continuing heavy rains. Well done to all anglers.

Big Ken winter league returned to these ponds for the first time since we opened after the enforced five week closure due to the exceptional wet winter weather. the match took place on Lambwath pond on Sun.4th.Feb. The day was overcast throughout with a fresh westerly wind that increased to strong as the day wore on. There was some irritating drizzle during the afternoon but despite the wind the temperature held up well reaching a mild 12 degrees. The question was how would it fish after the long closure.? well at the weigh-in there was a surprise in store for me as Craig took the honours with a excellent winter weight of 78lbs.12ozs. from Peg 7. He was followed home by Tim in the adjacent Peg 8 who registered 60lbs.8ozs. Last place in the frame went to Colin with his 52lbs.13ozs. from Peg 29. Just outside the frame in fourth place was Andy Raper who brought 45lbs.4ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Summing up, it appeared to have been a decent match with very good winter weights at the top of the order. It is to be noted that all the winning weights came from the Car park end of the pond! Congratulations to all placed participants.

Lambwath pond was the venue for Big Ken`s latest round of his winter league on Sun.26th.Nov. After a overnight frost the day was dry but dull and overcast throughout There was a light north westerly breeze but despite the lack of much wind it remained cold with the temperature struggling to reach the 7 or 8 degree mark. Early observations appeared to show that carp were being caught steadily in various areas of the pond so things looked hopeful for a decent match. At the weigh-in the hopes were well founded as Andy in Peg 29 brought a excellent winter weight of 97lbs.6ozs. to the scales . Well done Andy! This gave him a comfortable cushion of 46lbs. over second placed Craig who managed 51lbs.4ozs. from Peg 9. Last place in the frame went to Gary with his 43lbs.11ozs. in Peg 23. Just outside the frame in fourth was Steve Conlan who produced 39lbs.11ozs. from Peg 15. Summing up, it was a decent match of very good weights for the time of the year so well done to all participating anglers.

25/11/2023 - Steve Hewitt ( Silver section))
Steve Hewitt held a novelty match on Lambwath pond on Sat.25th.Nov. The match was split into two sections, these being a Carp section and a Silver fish sections. One net for Carp and another for silvers each weighed separately with the top two in each section paid. The morning started cloudy with some light rain and a fresh north westerly wind. Things quickly improved as the cloud broke up to give plenty of sunshine and with the wind easing as the day wore on the temperature reached a comfortable 12degrees. A early look over proceedings showed a few fish coming to the nets. At the weigh-in Kai took the victory in the Carp section with a decent weight of 55lbs.11ozs. from Peg 28. This pushed 'uncle' Gary into second place with his 42lbs.9ozs. from Peg 14. The Silver fish section was taken by organiser Steve who brought 13lbs.5ozs. to the scales from Peg 26 The runner up in this section was Darren who managed 9lbs.5ozs. from Peg 22. All in all a interesting match with some decent weights for the early winter. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match was played out on Lambwath pond on Thur.23rd.Nov. The morning was dry with fast moving clouds driven over by a very strong westerly wind. The promised rain arrived around the end of the match making for a miserable end to affairs. Despite the wind the temperature remained mild at around the 10 degrees mark. Observations as the match progressed showed that the fish were slow to come to the nets in difficult conditions. At the weigh-in it was last weeks winner Steve who was again declared the victor bringing 50lbs.80zs. to the scales from Peg 4. He was followed home by Phil in Peg 23 with his 40lbs. dead. Last place in the winners frame went to Tim who managed 19lbs. from Peg 26. Summing up , it was a match fished under difficult conditions with early winter weights to match. Congratulations to winner Steve who is on a bit of a roll at the moment and to all other placed participants.

The latest leg of Karl`s winter league took place on Lambwath pond on Sat.18th.Nov. The unwelcome overnight heavy rain cleared up for the start of the match after which it was mostly overcast until around midday at which point the cloud began to break up allowing the sun to appear for a couple of brief appearances. There was a fresh south westerly breeze but it remained fairly mild with temperatures reaching 10 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times there did not look to be much going on so it was a big surprise to me to see Darren in Peg 6 take the win with a excellent early winter weight of 131lbs.4ozs. The runner-up spot went to Paul who was pegged directly opposite winner Darren in Peg 30 with another excellent effort bringing 107lbs.13ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to organiser Karl with his 67lbs.1oz. from Peg 28. Just outside the frame in fourth was Kai Tyson who managed 50lbs.2ozs. from Peg 8. All in all a good winter match with very good weights at the top of the order but once again most of the fish and all the winning weights came from the car park end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek matches resumed on Lambwath pond on Thur.16th.Nov. The match was fished on the high number pegs on the L.H. side of the rope only. After more overnight rain that did nothing to improve the underfoot conditions the day was dry throughout with a high cloud cover and no breeze although the church weather vein indicated that what breeze there was, was from a south easterly direction. Conditions for the time of year were comfortable with the temperature settling around the 10 degree mark. Observations as the match progressed showed that things were on the slow side but several carp were noted crashing out of the water. At the weigh-in Steve was declared the victor from Peg 26 with a weight of 40lbs.7ozs. Organiser Andy who features regularly in these reports was todays runner-up returning 37lbs.7ozs. from Peg 28. Last place in the winners frame went to Phil who brought 35lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 28. All in all, a close fought match at the top of the order with only 5lbs. covering the top three in a match of reasonable early winter weights. Congratulations to all placed participants. Most fish were caught on rod and line with only Andy having much luck on the pole.

Lance ran a bit of a experimental match on the Tench pond on Sun.12th.Nov. I will explain the thinking. The Tench pond holds a large head of Rudd and large bags of this species have been caught through the season, even during the last few days. It was thought that these fish may make for good winter matches when the Carp disappear. Any carp caught were to be given a weight of 1lb. each. Anglers arrived with good supplies of maggots to tempt the Rudd but they took most of them home with them!! After our first keen frost of the winter the day was dry with a mixture of sunshine and cloud, there was almost no breeze and the temperature achieved a high of 10 degrees. At the weigh-in it was Steve in Peg 1 who claimed a hard fought win with 8 carp and 2lbs.15ozs of silvers for a weight of 10lbs.15ozs. Runner-up was Pully. in Peg 5 who managed 3 carp and 5lbs.15ozs. of silvers for 8lbs.15ozs. Last place in the frame went to Andy in Peg 3 with his 1 carp and 4lbs. of silvers for a final weight of 5lbs. Whether it was the frost that killed it but the Rudd just did not show which was a disappointment. There is another couple of matches booked on this pond shortly so we will see if they turn up then.!!!

Big Ken`s winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.12th.Nov. After our first hard frost of the winter the day was dry throughout with a mixture of cloud and weak winter sunshine. There was a light variable breeze that had no effect on the result with the temperature reached a high of 10 degrees. I did not see how the match was progressing until the weigh-in at which point it emerged that Gary in Peg 8 had claimed the honours with a good winter weight of 71lbs.15ozs. He was followed home by Rich who brought 61lbs.11ozs. to the scales from Peg 28. There was a bit of a drop in weight for third place as Darren in Peg 26 produced 37lbs.11ozs. Colin Smith finished just outside the frame in fourth with his 36lbs.1oz. from Peg 11. Summing up, after our first frost it was a match with a couple of good winter weights that dropped off moving down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Lee ran a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.11th.Nov. After a short rain shower soon after the start the day was dry with some cloud but plenty of sunshine throughout. There was a light north westerly breeze with temperatures reaching around the 10 degrees mark. A decent day and conditions for late in the season. Observations during the match appeared to show that most of the fish were coming from the car park end of the pond. This proved to be the case as Dave claimed top spot in Peg 27 with a decent early winter weight of 65lbs.6ozs. Mike in the runner-up position pushed him very close in the adjacent Peg 29 falling only 4lbs. short with his 61lbs.6ozs. The final place in the winners frame went to Craig who brought 51lbs.15ozs. to the scales from Peg 11. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to determine 3rd. and 4th. positions but it was Dave Parker who had to settle for the lower position falling just over 1lb. adrift managing 50lbs.4ozs. from Peg 23. at the top end of the pond. All in all, a close fought match with decent weights at the top of the order. Most of the better weights coming from the car park end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

04/11/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl`s winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.4th.Nov. although organiser Karl was unable to attend. The day started dry with high broken cloud and a light south easterly breeze. The wind increased as the rain arrived around midday becoming much colder and uncomfortable throughout the afternoon. The rain did nothing for the already saturated ground conditions with the temperature struggling to reach the 10 degree mark. I have no information of the match as it progressed but it was Paul in Peg 6 who claimed the win with a reasonable weight for the conditions of 44lbs.9ozs. The runner-up slot went to Gary in Peg 10 who fell just over 1lb. adrift with his 43lbs.6ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Matty in the adjacent Peg 12 who worked hard for his 41lbs.12ozs. Unlucky but just outside the frame and the money was Kai Tyson in Peg 8 who was close with his 40lbs.15ozs. All in all, a hard match but a very close fought affair at the top of the order with less than 5lbs. covering the top four. All the top weights came from the R.H. side of the rope at the car park end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy ran a match of mainly A.A.C. members who`s summer league has been completed. The match took place on the Moat pond on Sat.4th.Nov. The morning was dry with broken high cloud and a light south easterly breeze that freshened as the morning wore on. The forecast rain duly arrived around midday doing nothing for the already saturated ground conditions. The increased wind and frequent rain during the afternoon made for a wet and miserable end to the match. Due to the weather I saw very little of the match but at the weigh-in it was Phil in Peg 27 who took the victory with a decent weight of 41lbs.7ozs. The runner-up spot went to Chris in the adjacent Peg 30 with his 31lbs. 10ozs. Last place in the frame went to Paul who managed 24lbs.11ozs. from Peg 19. All in all, a match completed in wet miserable conditions underfoot and extremely high water levels in the pond. The top of the order weights were acceptable considering the recent conditions and time of the season. Well done to all anglers for sticking it out to the end.

Big Ken`s winter league got under way on Lambwath pond on Sun.29th.Oct. After extremely heavy overnight rain that did nothing for the under foot conditions the day was dry but overcast with a light westerly breeze that eased during the afternoon as the cloud broke up to give a little sunshine with the temperature around 12 degrees. In line with recent matches fish appeared to be coming to the nets on a regular basis as the match progressed but a good torch and eyesight was required at the weigh-in to determine the weights in the dark!! It came to light that Andy was the winner with a excellent weight of 155lbs.7ozs. from Peg 30. Mike took the runner-up slot with another very good effort bringing 136lbs. to the scales from Peg 6. Darren on his return to the fold claimed the last place in the frame falling just short of the "ton" mark with his 98lbs.9ozs. from Peg 27. Big Ken was just outside the frame in Peg 11 managing 86lbs.9ozs. Not far behind in fifth was Gary Shepherd in Peg 8 with his 82lbs.4ozs. Summing up, it was a match of mostly very good late season weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.26th.Oct. The morning was dull and overcast with low cloud and intermittent drizzle. There was a light south easterly breeze but it remained very mild with the temperature around the 13 degree mark. The forecast heavy rain arrived during the afternoon making the final two hours of the match a very wet affair. Observations as the match progressed appeared to show there were plenty of fish coming to the nets so good weights were a distinct possibility. This proved to be correct as at the weigh-in Paul who is on a good run at the moment claimed the victory with a excellent weight of 155lbs.9ozs. from Peg 25 which is the largest weight of the season in these matches. Bragging rights for the year Paul !! Organiser Andy a regular in the winners lists took the runner-up slot with another good effort of 116lbs.9ozs. from Peg 2. Last place in the frame went to Clive in Peg 30 who fell just short of the "ton" mark with his 97lbs.7ozs. Well done Clive as I believe this is probably your best weight of the season. All in all a match of excellent weights for so late in the season. Well done to all anglers.

21/10/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl`s winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.21st.Oct. The day in complete contrast to yesterday`s atrocious weather was dry but overcast with only a whisper of a westerly breeze, it was also mild with temperatures around the 15 degree mark. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed things appeared to be on the slow side so it was a big surprise to see organiser Karl take the victory with a excellent weight of 144lbs.9ozs. from Peg 30. taking most of his fish from the margins in the last 2 hrs. He was followed home by Matty in the adjacent Peg 28 with another good effort, bringing 121lbs.3ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to Mike who also broke the "ton" mark with his 106lbs.6ozs. from Peg 8. Just outside the frame in Peg 6 was Dave Beadle who managed 84lbs.11ozs. Summing up, It was a good match of unexpectedly high weights although it has to be said from a very good set of anglers. Congratulations to all placed participants.

14/10/2023 - A.A..C.
The A.A.C. held their final summer league match on the Caravan pond on Sat.14th.Oct. After a cold night the day was dry with some cloud but plenty of bright sunshine. There was a moderately strong north westerly breeze that had temperatures in the high teens when in the sun and out of the wind but it was around 10 degrees colder in the wind. Doing the rounds of the ponds it appeared that very few fish were showing even amongst the pleasure anglers so it was not looking good for big weights. This proved to be the case as at the weigh-in it was Graham who claimed his first win of the season with a very conservative weight of 27lbs.12ozs. from Peg 1. Well done Graham you deserve it !. The runner-up slot fell to Steve in Peg 21 with his 22lbs.4ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy in Peg 31 who managed 17lbs.14ozs. What happened today Andy ??. Summing up, after lots of recent heavy rain and close to overnight frosts the fish appear to have taken a shock so have we seen the last of the big weights.? we will see. !

07/10/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl ran a pre-winter league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.7th.Oct. The day was overcast throughout with a fresh to moderate westerly wind that held the temperature down to around the 15 degree mark. The breeze eased during the afternoon to allow the temperature to rise a little closer to the predicted 21 degrees but it never got there! As the match progressed it appeared that pegs in the wind at the car park of the pond were likely to be in with a good chance. This proved correct as at the weigh-in it was Gary in Peg 30 who took the honours with a good effort, bringing 116lbs.1oz. to the scales. Bucking the trend in the runner-up slot was organiser Karl at the other end of the pond with his 101lbs.2ozs. from Peg 21. We return to a peg in the wind for third position as Kai cemented the Wadswath family in the winners frame joining uncle Gary after managing a good 84lbs.10ozs. from Peg 6. It was nice to see big Steve Pulford back on the bank after his recent health problems as he took fourth position weighing 66lbs.2ozs. from Peg 12. All in all a good match with some decent weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league concluded on the Caravan pond on Sun.1st.Oct. The match was fished on the high number pegs on the south bank of the pond only. After overnight rain the morning was dry but overcast with a light south westerly breeze which increased to fresh during the day, this brought light but frequent showers throughout the afternoon. It remained warm despite the dreary conditions with the temperature hovering around the 20 degree mark. This pond is not easy to observe as the match is in progress so we go to the weigh-in. This showed that yet again on these ponds it was Willy who took the win with a very good weight of 120lbs.3ozs. from Peg 29. Close behind was runner-up Gary with another good effort, producing 108lbs.6ozs. from the adjacent Peg 27. Big Ken himself took the bronze medal position with his 90lbs.15ozs. from the nearby Peg 28. Just outside the frame in fourth spot was Kai Tyson who managed 73lbs.13ozs. from Peg 32. All in all a good match of competitive weights with all the winners coming from the bottom of the pond. Congratulations to Colin Smith who won the summer league series this year. Well done Colin.

01/10/2023 - Bluebell A.C.
Bluebell. A.C. held a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.1st.Oct. After more overnight rain the morning was dry but it was overcast and murky with a light south westerly breeze that increased to fresh throughout the day. This brought light but frequent showers during the afternoon although the temperature remained high at 20 degrees. As the match progressed there was promise of some good weights to come due to the frequency of fish being caught. This proved to be correct as at the weigh-in Jody in Peg 8 claimed the victory with a excellent net of 139lbs.11ozs. He was followed home closely by Keith in the adjacent Peg 10 who produced another good effort, bringing 126lbs.15ozs. to the scales. Third spot went to Paull with his 78lbs.4ozs. from the nearby Peg 6. Just outside the frame in fourth was Colin Scorah who managed 75lbs. from Peg 30. Summing up, it was a good match with some excellent weights in dreary conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

30/09/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. held their latest summer league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.30th.Sept. The morning was dry and bright with hazy but warm sunshine and a light westerly breeze. Things changed around midday as the breeze freshened bringing total cloud cover and a drop in temperature to 16 degrees. Rain arrived around 3.00 pm to give a miserable end to the match. Things became brighter for Phil at the weigh-in as he was declared the winner weighing 118lbs.4ozs. from Peg 13. This gave him a cushion of some 42lbs. over second placed Andy who brought 75lbs.13ozs to the scales from Peg 26. Last place in the winners frame went to Eddie with his 73lbs.13ozs from Peg 15. Just outside the frame once more was Paul Rhodes in fourth spot who managed 70lbs.1oz. from Peg 30. All in all a decent match but spoilt by the miserable weather in the closing stages of the match and the weigh-in. Congratulations to all placed participants.

28/09/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s mid week matches resumed on Lambwath pond on Thur.28th.Sept. The morning was dry with a high thin cloud cover and a fresh south westerly breeze. The cloud broke up slightly during the afternoon to give a few very brief spells of sunshine that did not effect the temperature that remained at 17 degrees throughout. Observations as the match progressed appeared to show fish coming to the nets on a regular basis especially from the margins during the second half of the match. At the weigh-in it was organiser Andy who yet again claimed the honours with 88lbs.15ozs. from Peg 25. He was followed home closely by Phil in Peg 30 who fell less than 1lb. adrift with his 88lbs.6ozs. Last place in the frame went to another Phil who finished another 1lb. further back in Peg 25 managing 87lbs.4ozs.. Just outside the frame in fourth place was Paul Rhodes who is on a good run at the moment producing 76lbs.13ozs. from Peg 27. All in all a very close, competitive match of decent weights.

Ron brought his Rovers to fish a summer league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.24th.Sept. After heavy overnight rain the morning had total cloud cover and a strong westerly wind Despite the wind the temperature achieved a warm high of 18 degrees. The cloud broke up somewhat during the afternoon to allow brief spells of sunshine that raised the temperature to around the 20 degree mark. Asking questions as the match moved on it appeared there was good numbers of fish coming to the nets. This proved correct at the weigh-in as organiser Ron did very well to take the win bringing 120lbs.5ozs. to the scales from Peg 21. Only 3lbs. adrift in second was Mike who produced 117lbs.3ozs. from Peg 8. The bronze medal position was filled by Kevin in Peg 14 with his 90lbs.2ozs..

23/09/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl ran a match on the Caravan pond on Sat.23rd.Sept. The morning was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with no breeze. The westerly breeze increased during the afternoon putting a welcome ripple on the water surface. Despite the fresh breeze the temperature reached a comfortable high of 18 degrees. The match was fished on the high number pegs on the R.H. bank of the pond only. I have no information of how the match progressed as this pond is not easy to watch whilst a match is on going. At the weigh-in it was Matty who claimed the victory bringing 75lbs.1oz. to the scales from Peg 24. Organiser Karl took the runner-up slot with his 67lbs.12ozs. from Peg 28. Last place in the winners frame went to Tony in Peg 32 who managed 62lbs.3ozs. All in all a steady match with less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Robbo finally turned up to lead his men to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.23rd.Sept. The morning was a mixture of clouds and sunshine. It was very still with no breeze until well into the afternoon at which point the breeze increased from the west dropping the temperature a couple of degrees from a high of 18 degrees. Observations as the match progressed showed good numbers of fish coming to the nets and this was confirmed at the weigh-in as Geoff in Peg 13 took the win with a excellent weight of 146lbs.1oz. He was followed home closely by Steve in Peg 21 with another good effort of 132lbs.4ozs. Last place in the frame went to Willy with his 122lbs.12ozs. from Peg 16. Organiser Robbo finished just outside the frame in fourth managing 113lbs.9ozs. from Peg 5. Fifth place went to Ricky Smith with his 99lbs.6ozs. from Peg 11. Close behind in Sixth was Dean Nicklas with his 95lbs.1oz. from Peg 2. All in all a very good match with a series of excellent weights from a group of very good anglers.

Ron brought his Rovers to fish a match on the Lambwath pond on Sun.17th.Sept. The match was fished on the low number pegs on the R.H. side of the rope only. The day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a south westerly breeze. It remained warm with the temperature reaching a high of 18 degrees. Observations as the match progressed appeared to show a steady rather than spectacular catching rate. At the weigh-in it was Kevin who took the honours bringing 67lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 11. Owen in Peg 15 was the runner-up with his 54lbs.7ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Graham in Peg 7 who managed 40lbs.14ozs.

16/09/2023 - Cowden H.P.
Members of the Cowden Holiday Park arrived to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.16th.Sept. The morning dawned bright and dry with a high thin cloud cover that soon burned off to give a mostly clear and warm day. There was a fresh north easterly breeze that held the temperature to the high teens in it`s path but rising to the low twenties in sheltered areas. Nothing of note to report as the match progressed so we go to the weigh-in and it was last years winner Martin who again came out on top with a decent weight of 82lbs.2ozs. from Peg 9. This gave him a 29lbs. cushion over runner-up John who brought 53lbs.11ozs. to the scales from Peg 2. It was much closer between second and third positions but it was Pete who had to settle for the lower slot, falling only 9 ozs. short of second place with his 53lbs.3ozs. from Peg 30. A special mention must go to Thomas who finished just out side the winners frame in fourth with a very creditable 45lbs. from Peg 18. Thomas is becoming a competent angler and improving rapidly. Well done young man ! Congratulations to all placed participants.

16/09/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C.`s summer league matches continued on the Moat pond on Sat.16th.Sept. The early morning high cloud soon cleared to give a mostly clear and warm day. there was a fresh north easterly breeze that held the temperature to the high teens when in the wind but raised to the low twenties in the sheltered areas. Recent results on this pond have been disappointing and observations today as the match progressed appeared to show a similar vein. The weigh-in showed this to be the case once more as regular frame member Andy again claimed the victory with 41lbs.15ozs. from Peg 28. Runner up was Darren who brought 32lbs.3ozs. to the scales from Peg 3. Last place in the winners frame went the way of Tim with his 28lbs.4ozs. from Peg 27. All in all another match of less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

09/09/2023 - Robbo
Organiser Robbo of Risby Park fame failed to show for his third match in a row on these ponds but luckily his men did to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.9th.Sept. The morning was bright and sunny from the off with a slight westerly breeze that freshened as it veered to a south easterly in the late morning. I do not have the exact thermometer reading but it felt like the warmest day of the year with temperatures into the high 20`s. Catching rates have been reduced during the recent period of hot weather so confidence was not high for big weights, but what a surprise we were in for at the weigh-in as Steve in Peg 2 took the victory with a tremendous weight of 190lbs.12ozs. The runner-up slot went to Dean in the adjacent Peg 5 who did excellently well with his 156lbs.11ozs. Third place went to Willy, a regular member of these reports in Peg 8 who managed 86lbs.2ozs. A mention has to go to Ricky Smith in Peg 16 who fell only 1lb. short of third with his 85lbs.2ozs. Best fish of the day was a 4lbs.2oz. Eel in Steve`s winning weight. All in all a excellent match in difficult conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

07/09/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s regular mid-week match made up of mainly local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.7th.Sept. The match was fished on the high number pegs only on the L.H. side of the rope. The morning dawned with thick sea mist that has troubled us for a few days now, this persisted throughout the morning but gradually cleared into the afternoon, drifting in and out, this allowed the sun to emerge becoming very warm with temperatures around the mid twenty`s. There was a light north easterly breeze that had little effect on the heat or the water surface. Similar to matches of late during this warm weather the match appeared to be meandering along at a slow pace with little hope of any large weights. At the weigh-in it was organiser Andy who yet again took the win with a decent weight for the conditions of 78lbs.13ozs. from Peg 28. Runner-up was Phil in the adjacent Peg 30 who ran him close with another good effort of 71lbs.13ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Steve in Peg 22 with his 37lbs.1oz. All in all a similar match to recent ones with less than hoped for results. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league matches continued on the Caravan pond on Sun.3rd.Sept. The early morning cloud cover quickly dissipated as the sun appeared to give a day of full sunshine as the temperature climbed to the mid to high twenties. There was a very light south easterly breeze that freshened as the day moved on but did little to combat the heat. Enquiries as the match progressed suggested that Steve out of sight at the very bottom of the pond was most likely today`s winner. This proved correct as he brought 130lbs.8ozs.to the scales from Peg 22. This doubled the weight of runner-up Andy in Peg 26 who managed 61lbs.5ozs. Third place went to Craig in Peg 32 with his 53lbs.6ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth was Willy Eyre who scaled 52lbs.9ozs. from Peg 29. Summing up, it was a runaway win for Steve with the rest of the weights separated by only a few pounds right down the order making it very competitive for the minor places. Congratulations to all placed participants.

03/09/2023 - Post Office A.C.
Post Office A.C. held a league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.3rd.Sept. The early morning light cloud cover quickly burnt off to give us a very warm day with continuous sunshine throughout. There was a light south easterly breeze with the temperature climbing to the mid to high twenties. In line with matches of late the fishing appeared on the slow side and at the weigh-in it was Colin fishing in the breeze in Peg 5 who took the honours with a middle of the road weight of 60lbs.15ozs. The runner-up slot went to Terry with his 41lbs.13ozs. from Peg 23. The final place in the winners frame went the way of Barry in Peg 20 who managed 34lbs.15ozs. All in all, a tough day in the sun with less than hoped for weights down the order. The heat and calm conditions did not help. Congratulations to all placed participants.

A.A.C.`S summer league programme continued on the Caravan pond on Sat.2nd.Sept. The early morning cloud cover soon burned off with the rest of the day seeing blue skies and warm sunshine allowing the temperature to reach the mid twenty`s. There was a light south easterly breeze initially that freshened into the afternoon which probably had a say in where the match was won as the first two places were from pegs directly in the wind. First place went to Chris in Peg 3 with a very moderate summer weight of 48lbs.4ozs. Only 5lbs. adrift in second was Melvyn in the adjacent Peg 1 with his 43lbs.3ozs. Last place in the frame went to Phil who managed 36lbs.8ozs. from Peg 12. His catch included the largest fish of the day, a carp of 15lbs.13ozs. All in all a disappointing match of poor weights for this time in the season but still, congratulations to all placed participants.

02/09/2023 - Hygena A.C.
Dave Parker brought a group of anglers to fish a match under the Hygena name on Lambwath pond on Sat.2nd.Sept. The early morning cloud cover soon burnt off as the sun got to work giving a bright sunny day with a light south easterly breeze that failed to put a ripple on the water surface. It was also very warm with temperatures into the low to middle twenties. Observations as the match progressed showed a rather mundane affair with little happening so big weights looked a out of the question. At the weigh-in it was organiser Dave in Peg 13 who claimed the victory with a late run of fish coming from the margins to finish with a decent weight of 89lbs.12ozs. This gave him a big cushion of 60lbs. over his closest rival Mike who brought 29lbs.4ozs.to the scales from Peg 2. Last place in the winners frame went to Phil with his 20lbs.8ozs. from Peg 29. Summing up, it was a runaway win for Dave in a match of disappointing weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s men returned to fish a non league match on Lambwath pond on Mon.28th.Aug. The day was a mixture of slow moving cloud and clear sunny spells. It remained pleasantly warm in the slight westerly breeze with temperatures around the 18 degree mark. Observations as the match progressed showed that fish were coming to the nets frequently. This trend obviously continued as at the weigh-in Steve in the seldom used Peg 18 took the win with a season record weight of 191lbs.11ozs. Well done Steve!! This gave him a comfortable cushion of 70lbs over second placed Lee in Peg 30 who would have won many a match with his 122lbs.4ozs. Well done to Lee also as this was his first match back after a break through illness. Welcome back Lee. Last place in the winners frame went to Colin who also broke the ton mark with his 106lbs.1oz. from the unfancied Peg 25. All in all a good match with a outstanding winning weight with decent returns down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants

27/08/2023 - Falcon A.C.
Falcon A.C. fished a summer league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.27th.Aug.2023. The morning was a mixture of dark clouds and sunny spells with just a whisper of a westerly breeze and temperatures hovering around the 20 degrees mark.

Andy in Peg 21 took the victory with a good return of 110lbs. he was followed home by Nick who managed 78lbs.12ozs. from Peg 2. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but Grant had to settle for the lower position, falling only 1lb. short of the higher position with his 78lbs.1oz. from Peg 10. All in all a steady match of average summer weights with many fish coming in the latter stages of the match. Congratulations to all placed participants.

26/08/2023 - County Angling
County Angling held a summer league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.26th.Aug. The day was a mixture of cloud and sunny periods. There was a light variable breeze that moved through a series of directions throughout the day. It was warm for the most part as the temperature peaked around the 20 degree mark. Observations as the match progressed showed that fish were being caught regularly. This proved the case as at the weigh-in Johnathon in the unfancied Peg 26 brought a excellent 173lbs.14ozs. to the scales, the largest weight we have had for some time and could be the best of the season so far ! Well done John. This gave him a big cushion of 61lbs. over runner-up Tony in the adjacent Peg 24 with another good effort of 112lbs. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy who produced 101lbs. from Peg 14. Just outside the frame in fourth was Steve Abbott with his 78lbs.12ozs. from Peg 8..

24/08/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match took place on the Moat pond on Thur.24.Aug. After some heavy early morning rain the match started in dry but overcast conditions with a slight insignificant breeze. The cloud broke up during the morning to give plenty of warm sunny intervals with the temperature reaching a comfortable high of 22 degrees. Observations as the match progressed appeared to show things were on the slow side so it was a bit of a surprise to see Paul bring a decent weight of 63lbs.11ozs. to the scales from Peg 5. this gave him a comfortable cushion of 25lbs., a significant gap in the context of the match over runner-up Andy who managed 38lbs.13ozs. from Peg 1. Last place in the winners frame went to Tim in Peg 10 who managed 23lbs.6ozs. Overall a disappointing match despite a decent effort from Paul the weights fell away quickly down the list. Congratulations to all placed participants.

20/08/2023 - Bluebell A.C.
Bluebell A.C continued their summer league programme on Lambwath pond on Sun.20th.Aug. The morning was dry, bright and warm with well broken high white clouds that moved through on a fresh south westerly wind. It remained warm with temperatures achieving a high of 25 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed the fishing appeared to be on the slow side. This was borne out at the weigh-in as Colin in Peg 8 only required 64lbs.1oz. to claim the victory. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate first from second but it was Peter in Peg 6 who had to settle for the lower position falling only 8ozs. adrift of the top place with his 63lbs.10ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Ken who brought 41lbs.3ozs. to the scales from Peg 12. All in all a very steady match of less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

19/08/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.19th.Aug. After heavy overnight rain the morning was dry and bright with clusters of high white clouds driven quickly through on a strong westerly wind. Due to the broken cloud there was plenty of sunny periods that allowed the temperature to reach a very warm 26 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed the fishing appeared steady rather than spectacular and at the weigh-in, guess what? it was that man Andy who once again topped the pile with a good weight of 114lbs.5ozs. from Peg 30. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 43lbs. over runner-up Chris in Peg 7 who brought 70lbs.14ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to Darren in Peg 6 who fell only 7lbs. adrift of second but had to settle for the lower position with his 63lbs.15ozs. Hanging around the frame lately is Paul Rhodes and today he was in fourth position managing 44lbs.3ozs. from Peg 29. Summing up, it was a steady type of match with average weights for this time of the season. Congratulations to all placed participants.

17/08/2023 - A. Hold
A change of venue this week for Andy`s midweek match, fishing the Tench pond on Thur.17th.Aug. The day was dry with a mixture of clouds and sunshine and a light to moderate south easterly breeze. It remained warm with the temperature reaching a high of 20 degrees. Match anglers have a choice to make on this pond right from the off, that is whether to go for the masses of Rudd or sit it out for the Carp to show?. As it turned out today it was Tim in Peg 14 who decided to go down the Carp road which payed off as he took the win with a good effort weighing 61lbs.14ozs. Things were evened up as Gary in Peg 5 chose to fish rod and float for the Rudd and deservedly claimed the runner-up spot with his 40lbs.4ozs. Organiser Andy went the Carp way but had to settle for third place this week managing 30lbs. from Peg 9. Just outside the frame in fourth was Paul Rhodes who is on a good run at the moment but fell just 2lbs. short of third bringing 28lbs.9ozs.to the scales from Peg 7. All in all it appeared to be a enjoyable match offering a different challenge to the usual type of match.

13/08/2023 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s summer league programme returned to these ponds to fish a match on the Caravan pond on Sun.13th.Aug. The day was bright with a mixture of high clouds and warm sunny periods. The clouds blew through quickly on a fresh to strong south westerly wind with the temperature rising to a high of 23 degrees. Nothing of note to report so to the weigh-in we go and it was Steve pegged at the very bottom of the pond who claimed the win with a good effort of 118lbs.1oz. from Peg 23. This gave him a extremely comfortable cushion of 64lbs. over second placed Willy who brought 54lbs.8ozs. to the scales from Peg 33. It was much closer between second and third but Craig had to settle for the lower position falling less than 2lbs. adrift with his 52lbs.15ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Mark South who managed 50lbs. from Peg 30. Summing up, it was a runaway win for Steve with a good winning weight but with less than expected returns down the list. Congratulations to all placed participants.

13/08/2023 - Tightliners A.C.
Tightliners A.C. travelled from the Driffield area to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.13th.Aug. The day was a pleasant affair throughout with a mixture of high fast moving clouds driven by a very fresh south westerly wind and plenty of warm sunny periods as the temperature reached a high of 23 degrees. One incident of note occurred as the match progressed as one unfortunate angler lost the top three sections of his pole to a hungry carp that was not recovered. Could any finder please hand in to the pond bailiff for return to owner. Thank you! Back to the match and at the weigh-in it was Ian in Peg 7 who took the win with a excellent weight of 128lbs.2ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 41lbs. over runner-up Darren in Peg 23 who produced another good effort to weigh 87lbs.4ozs. Last place in the frame went to Tony who managed 50lbs.14ozs. from Peg 30. All in all a decent match of reasonable weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

12/08/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. held their annual match made up of club members and guests on Lambwath pond on Sat.12th.Aug. The morning was fine with broken high cloud and sunny spells. The south easterly breeze increased, becoming strong as the day wore on but despite this it remained warm with temperatures reaching the low 20`s There was one short sharp shower towards the latter part of the match. The winner of the match was Loz. who was a guest today but was a regular member of the club before leaving the area a couple of years ago. He also featured regularly in the winners column in those days, today he produced a very good weight of 91lbs.11ozs. in Peg 12. Andy who is a present day regular in these reports claimed the runner up spot falling only 4lbs short of the win after loosing a good fish after the whistle with his 88lbs.9ozs.from Peg 25. Last place in the frame went to Carl, another guest who unfortunately I know nothing about who did well to weigh 70lbs in Peg 27. All in all a good competitive match with decent weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s mid week match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.10th.Aug. The match was fished on the high number pegs on the L.H. side of the rope only. The morning was cloudy with hardly any breeze but despite a lack of sunshine it remained warm. During the afternoon the south easterly breeze increased to fresh breaking up the cloud to give plenty of sunshine with the temperature rising to a very warm 25 degrees. As the match progressed the fishing appeared steady rather than spectacular and at the weigh-in it was Phil who has had some success of late who claimed the honours bringing 71lbs. to the scales from Peg 25. Organiser Andy had to settle for the runner-up slot today managing 59lbs.4ozs. from Peg 21. Clive`s coaching sessions look to have payed off to a extent as he filled the bronze medal spot with his 54lbs.7ozs. from Peg 30. Summing up it was a close fought match of reasonable weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

06/08/2023 - Fishing 4 Heroes
Fishing 4 Heroes held a match on the Caravan Pond on Sun.6th.Aug. The morning was overcast with a light northerly breeze and a couple of sharp short showers towards mid-day. The wind freshened during the afternoon breaking up the cloud a little to give more sunshine that lifted the temperature to around the 18 degree mark. This pond is difficult to observe whilst in progress but asking the question it appeared the fishing was on the slow side. This was proved to be the case as at the weigh-in Sean in Peg 12 was the victor with a weight of 39lbs.8ozs. The runner-up slot was filled by James with his 27lbs dead from Peg 9 Last place in the winners frame went to Darren who brought 26lbs.12ozs. to the scales from Peg 39. All in all it was another match of disappointing weights that fell well below what could be expected at this stage of the season. Never the less well done to all placed participants.

06/08/2023 - Ron`s Rovers
Ron brought his Rovers to fish a match on the Moat pond on Sun.6th.Aug. The match was fished on the road side pegs No`s 13 to 24 inclusive. The day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine plus a couple of brief sharp shower towards lunchtime. The freshening northerly wind helped to break up the cloud to give more sunshine during the afternoon as the temperature rose to around the 18 degree mark. The fishing appeared slow as the match progressed and this was proved to be correct at the weigh-in as Owen in Peg 21 only needed 35lbs.2ozs. to take the win. He was followed home by Alan in Peg 19 with his 27lbs.10ozs. It was a close fought affair between second and third that required close scrutiny of the scales but eventually it was Kevin in Peg 13 who had to settle for the lower position falling 5 ozs. short of second place managing 27lbs.6ozs. Summing up, it was a close fought match at the top of the order but the weights were disappointingly less than hoped for. Congratulations to all placed participants.

05/08/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. held their latest league match on the Moat pond on Sat.5th.Aug. The early morning was dull and overcast with drizzle and light rain accompanied by a light northerly breeze. Things improved as the day wore on with the rain aborting and the cloud became thinner giving a few brief spells of weak sunshine. The temperature reached a comfortable high of 18 degrees. Nothing of note to report from the proceedings so we go to the weigh-in and once again it was that man Andy who took the victory with a good weight of 64lbs.5ozs. from Peg 26. The runner up slot went to Paul in Peg 3 who is also featuring in the winners frame regularly at the moment with his 54lbs.13ozs. Last place in the frame went to club secretary Peter who managed 34lbs.7ozs. in Peg 28. All in all a bit of a disappointing match with decent weights at the top of the list but falling away down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

03/08/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match took place on the Moat pond on Thur.3rd.Aug. using Pegs 14 to 30 inclusive. After a tremendous amount of rain yesterday and overnight that brought the water levels of the ponds up to the end of winter levels in a few hours the morning was bright with mostly cloud cover and a few brief sunny spells. There was a northerly breeze but it remained warm as the temperature reached a high of 20 degrees. We were left wondering how it would fish after the extraordinary amount of fresh water that entered the pond in the last 24 hours.? At the weigh-in the answer was not very well as organiser Andy once more took the win from Peg 28 bringing a less than hoped for weight of 45lbs.1oz. to the scales. He was followed home by Paul who is also having a good run at the moment with his 26lbs.15ozs. from Peg 23. Last place in the frame went to Terry in Peg 26 who managed 24lbs.2ozs. All in all a disappointing match of fairly poor weights for this time of the season but congratulations to all placed participants.

29/07/2023 - Hull Angling
Geoffrey brought his men to fish a summer league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.29th.July. The day was dry and bright throughout with a mixture of warm sunshine and thick fast moving clouds driven by a strong westerly wind. The temperature stood up well despite the wind lifting the mercury to around the 20 degree mark. As the match progressed there appeared to be a decent amount of fish coming to the nets. At the weigh-in it was Chris in Peg 14 who claimed the victory with a very good effort weighing 131lbs. Not far behind in the runner up slot was Colin in the adjacent Peg 12 who managed 116lbs. Last place in the winners frame went to Mick in Peg 6 who fell just short of the 100lbs. mark, bringing 96lbs. to the scales. Dave Brooks, a legend in the Hull and district fishing circles despite not featuring in the winners list had a good mixed catch of over 70lbs. that included 40lbs. of Skimmers and other silver fish, a area he excels in. Well done Dave!. Unfortunately leader Geoffry again failed to trouble the front runners on these ponds. All in all a decent match with some good weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

27/07/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek matches continued on Lambwath pond on Thur.27th.July. After overnight rain the morning was a mixture of mainly heavy slow moving black clouds that threatened rain at any time and a few breaks that gave short but very warm spells of sunshine with temperatures reaching a high of 23 degrees There was a warm light westerly breeze throughout and only one rain shower was experienced in the late afternoon. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed there appeared to be plenty of fish on offer. This was borne out at the weigh-in as Paul in Peg 29 took the victory with a excellent weight of 136lbs.7ozs. Organiser Andy was back at the top of the order again with another good effort bringing 108lbs.11ozs. to the scales from Peg 23. Last place in the winners frame went to Steve on his birthday who managed 74lbs.15ozs. from Peg 18. Just outside the frame in fourth was Barry Moody who is on a good run at the moment with his 65lbs.7ozs. from Peg 2. All in all a good match with very good weights at the top of the order.

23/07/2023 - Sand-le mere
Sand-le-Mere A.C. travelled the short distance from Tunstall to fish a match on our Lambwath pond on Sun.23rd.July. Things did not look too promising in the early morning as low cloud cover and light rain continued to spoil things, there was a light westerly breeze and it felt warm despite the conditions as the temperature reached a high of 18 degrees. Luckily the rain stopped as the cloud broke up slightly to give some sunny spells for the rest of the match Looking over the match a couple of times there appeared to be a steady catching rate in progress. At the weigh-in it was Steve in Peg 26 who claimed the win with a decent weight of 86lbs.8ozs. Second place went to organiser Mark with his 80lbs.10ozs. from Peg 2. Last place in the winners frame went to Alan who fell only 3lbs adrift of second in Peg 23. as the scales stopped at 78lbs.1oz. A special mention must go to Lisa Walker who did brilliantly to finish just outside the frame in fourth with a excellent effort weighing 77lbs.4ozs. from Peg 12.

22/07/2023 - A.A..C.
The A.A.C. continued their summer league programme on the Caravan pond on Sat.22nd.July. The day was thoroughly miserable throughout with total low cloud cover and rain for most of the time. There was a fresh westerly breeze with temperatures kept to a moderate 15 degrees. Due to the adverse weather I saw little of the match as it progressed so have no interesting facts to report. the only thing left to do is go to the weigh-in and Chris proved to be this weeks victor with a middle of the road weight of 62lbs.8ozs. from Peg 33. This gave him a 20lbs. cushion over runner up Tim who tipped the scales at 42lbs.7ozs. in Peg 17. Andy who features regularly in these reports had to settle for the bronze medal position today with his 38lbs.5ozs. from Peg 32. Summing up, it was a match of disappointing weights and a miserable day for sitting on the bank especially if the fish were not very obliging. Congratulations to all placed participants.

22/07/2023 - Robbo
Robbo the organiser was missing for his second match on the bounce but his troops arrived to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.22nd.July. The day was a miserable affair from start to finish with low cloud, rain and a cool fresh southerly wind and temperatures only reaching a disappointing 15degrees. The weather did nothing to encourage me to spend much time observing the match so I have no information on the happenings as it progressed so we go to the weigh-in and once again on this pond it was that man Willy who claimed the victory with a excellent weight of 146lbs.7ozs. from Peg 8. He was followed home by Steve in Peg 26 who produced another good effort bringing 120lbs.1oz. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to Neil in the adjacent Peg 28 with his 82lbs.12ozs. Only 8ozs. adrift of third was Bart. ?( sorry did not get the surname) in Peg 13 who weighed 82lbs.5ozs. to finish in fourth position. All in all a very good match with good weights down the order.

16/07/2023 - Woldsmen A.C.
Woldsmen A.C. travelled from Driffield to fish a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.16th.July. The morning was dry with a mixture of sunshine and fast moving clouds, driven on by a very strong and blustery south westerly wind. Luckily the threatened rain showers did not arrive during the match and the temperature despite the wind held up well with a high of around 20 degrees. The match progressed steadily and at the weigh-in and not for the first time on these ponds it was Colin who took top billing with a good weight of 122lbs.8ozs. from Peg 28. This gave him a very comfortable cushion of 54lbs. over nearest rival Alfie who despite breaking his pole took the runner-up slot with his 68lbs.5ozs. from Peg 21. The bronze medal spot went to Steven (Syd) in Peg 30 who brought 61lbs.5ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Shane Potter took fourth place with his 60lbs.9ozs. from Peg13. Summing up, apart from a run away win for Colin it was a close fought affair down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

15/07/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. held a match on the Lambwath pond on Sat.15th.July. The morning was bright being a mixture of sunshine and heavy black clouds moving quickly through on a very strong blustery south westerly wind. There were occasions of very heavy black clouds and thunder but only a couple of sharp rain showers materialised. Despite the strong winds it remained warm with temperatures reaching 20 degree plus. The recent spell of low pressure has improved match results of late so we were hoping for some good weights today, At the weigh-in it was Phil who claimed the win bringing 102lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 9. Paul took the runner up spot from Peg 12 with his 82lbs.3ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy who managed 76lbs.2ozs. from Peg 21.

Andy`s midweek match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.13th.July. The day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a light westerly breeze that allowed temperatures to rise into the low 20`s. We had a bit of rain around mid morning but the threatened heavy showers never materialised. The match was fished on the L.H. side of the rope on the high numbered pegs only. Things looked promising with fish coming to the nets at regular intervals as the match progressed and at the weigh-in, guess what? it was that man, organiser Andy who once again came out on top with a decent effort of 90lbs. from Peg 24. Phil claimed the runner up slot in Peg 1, bringing 62lbs.5ozs. to the scales. Terry in Peg 28 can count himself unlucky but after close scrutiny of the scales he had to settle for third place falling only 3ozs. short of the higher position with his 62lbs.3ozs. How close was that,? Barry Moody has had a good run lately and took fourth place today with a weight of 57lbs.10ozs. from Peg 21.

The day started with high cloud cover along with a light westerly breeze, in the early afternoon the cloud cleared allowing the sun to arrive becoming very warm with the temperature hitting a high of 23 degrees. The match progressed at a pedestrian pace so there were not many predicting big weights today. This proved correct at the weigh-in as Mike in Peg 30 only needed 55lbs.11ozs. to claim the victory. George in the adjacent Peg 28 pushed him very close falling only 2lbs. short of the win but had to settle for the runner-up slot with his 53lbs.13ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Alan in Peg 22 who brought 39lbs.2ozs. to the scales. Summing up, it was a competitive match at the top of the order albeit of moderate weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

08/07/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C.`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.8th.July. The morning was sunny with increasing cloud that gave some rain during the afternoon. The south easterly breeze dropped to zero after the rain allowing the temperature to rise to a comfortable 20 degrees. Hopes were high for the continuation of better results in recent matches and things looked promising as the match progressed with fish coming to the nets regularly. At the weigh-in it was that man Andy who once again took top spot with a good effort of 104lbs.13ozs. Phil who was Thursday`s winner on this pond put on a good show once more but had to settle for the runner-up slot with his 95lbs.5ozs. from Peg 15. Last place in the winners frame went to Melvyn in Peg 21 who brought 74lbs.13ozs to the scales. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate third from fourth but it was Chris Myers who had to settle for the lower position, falling only 1lbs. short with his 73lbs.13ozs from Peg 13. All in all, a very competitive match with good weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

06/07/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.6th.July. The day was a repeat of the last few with a mixture of cloud and sunshine and a moderate westerly breeze and temperatures in the high teens. Results have improved over the last few matches so there was some optimism of continuing this trend. We were not to be disappointed as at the weigh-in it was Phil in Peg 29 who took the win with a excellent weight of 133lbs.5ozs. After breaking his pole in the early part of the match he reluctantly turned to the feeder method and never stopped catching. Well done Phil ! Organiser Andy once again featured in the frame, this time in the runner-up slot with his 86lbs.10ozs. from Peg 15. Third place was claimed by Steve in Peg 21 who managed 51lbs.9ozs. Paul Rhodes has been around the winners frame in recent matches and finished in fourth today with 46lbs.15ozs. from the unfancied Peg 27. Summing up, the best result of the season for the group, lets hope it continues. Congratulations to all placed participants.

02/07/2023 - Fish Trades A.C.
Fish Trades A.C. held a league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.2nd.July. The day was a mixture of sunshine and fast moving clouds driven by a strong westerly wind that held temperatures to the high teens. There is evidence that the cooler temperatures and more movement on the water is helping to improve results, this coupled with the low pressure system will hopefully give us better weights. Nothing to report during the match so we go to the weigh-in and it was Neil in Peg 22 who claimed the victory with a decent weight of 107lbs.14ozs. from the more sheltered end of the pond. John in the wind at the opposite end took the runner-up slot bringing 92lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Ray in Peg 14, "the bramble peg" was in third place managing 73lbs.3ozs. Summing up, it was another decent match with continued evidence of better results. Hopefully this trend continues. Congratulations to all placed participants.

02/07/2023 - Tri-Star A.C.
Tristar A.C. travelled from Bridlington to fish a match on the Moat pond on 2nd. July 2023. The day was a carbon copy of yesterday being a mixture of sunshine and cloud that was blown through quickly on a strong westerly wind. The temperature reached a high of 19 degrees. Weights on this pond have not been great of late so how would it fish with cooler temperatures and spawning now well in the past. At the weigh-in Adrian in Peg 23 claimed the win with a decent mid range weight of 57lbs.6ozs. This gave him a massive cushion in the context of the match of 38lbs. over Kevin in Peg17 and Steve in Peg 21 who tied for the runner-up slot with a big drop in weight to 18lbs.11ozs. Just outside the frame was Graham Pickering who fell only 1lb or so short of the higher position with his 17lbs.8ozs. from Peg 20. All in all, a runaway win for Adrian with a middle of the road weight being more competitive down the order but with weights falling away steeply. Congratulations to all placed participants.

01/07/2023 - Robbo
Robbo of Risby Park fame arranged a match on Lambwath pond but was absent on the day. Never the less a strong line up of anglers were present so hopes were high for some good weights. The day was bright and dry throughout with a mixture of sunshine and and fast moving clouds moving quickly through on a very strong westerly wind. Despite the wind the temperature rose to the high teens. Looking over the match a couple of times things looked promising with fish coming to the nets at regular intervals. Looking out of the frame with an hour to go it was Willy who took the win after catching a number of big Carp in the margins in the later stages. He finished with a very good 135lbs.13ozs. from Peg 28. Another good effort came from runner-up Steve in Peg 2 with his 123lbs. Geoff in Peg 16 took the last place in the frame managing 107lbs.12ozs. and like his names sake claimed another century but his was with a fishing rod and not a cricket bat!! All in all a very good match of excellent weights so well done to all anglers.

01/07/2023 - Christian`s Carpets
Simon brought a group of anglers from the Leeds area to fish his annual company match on the Tench pond on Sat.1st.July. The whole day was a mixture sunshine and fast moving clouds driven through on the back of a very strong westerly wind. The temperature held up reasonably well despite the wind reaching somewhere in the high teens. I was unable to follow the match as it progressed but at the weigh-in it was David who took the win bringing 61lbs.8ozs. to the scales from Peg 8. This put him well clear, almost doubling the weight of runner-up Steve with his 31lbs.8ozs. from Peg 10. Last place in the winners frame went to Russell in Peg 4 who managed 26lbs.8ozs. Summing up it was a bit of a run away win for David but closer down the order. Well done to all anglers.

29/06/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s mid-week match for local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.29th.June. After the novelty of overnight rain the day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a light to fresh easterly breeze that held temperatures to 19 or 20 degrees. Looking over proceedings during the match it appeared to be steady rather than spectacular which apparently continued as the match was won by Tim in Peg 21 with a mid range weight of 57lbs.1oz. Chris took the runner up spot with a excellent net of all Bream and Silvers fishing the pole on chopped worm and castors bringing 54lbs.4ozs. to the scales from the unfancied Peg 26, well done Chris for a good effort! Steve in Peg 13 claimed the last place in the winners frame with his 49lbs.3ozs. Organiser Andy had to settle for fourth place today managing 47lbs.3ozs. from Peg 14. All in all ,it was a close fought affair but of only middle of the road weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

25/06/2023 - Sand-le mere
Sand-le mere A.C. fished a match on the Caravan pond on Sun.25th.June. The day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a very stiff south easterly breeze blowing down the pond . Due to the breeze there was a strong ripple on the water that looked good for some better weights. The breeze also held the temperature to a high of 22 degrees after yesterdays season high. Hopes of better weights were borne out at the weigh-in as Andy in Peg 14 brought a very good 89lbs.3ozs. to the scales to claim the win. The runner up slot went to Alan with his 66lbs.6ozs. from Peg 6. Third place was claimed by Rob who managed a creditable 56lbs.6ozs. from Peg 40. Just outside the winners frame in fourth was organiser Mark Yeaman with another decent weight of 54lbs.13ozs. from Peg 16. falling only a couple of ponds short of the higher position. All in all a good match of much better weights than of late. Are things turning the corner? lets hope so! Congratulations to all placed participants.

25/06/2023 - Ron`s Rovers
Ron brought his rovers to fish a match on the Tench pond on Sun.25th.June. The day was bright and sunny throughout with some cloud moving quickly through on a stiff south easterly breeze. The temperature was a little down on yesterdays season high but still remained high at around 22 degrees. Matches on this pond are infrequent so it was a bit difficult to predict the outcome. Would it be best to sit it out for the Carp or go all out for the silvers from the off. Well the Carp method turned out to be the winner as Owen took the victory with a all Carp net of 78lbs.14ozs. from Peg 14. He was followed home by Graham in Peg 2 who had a all silver fish catch of 37lbs.9ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Kevin in Peg 13 with his 33lbs.1oz. All in all a match of decent weights at the top of the order, judging this on recent match weights although none of them on this pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

24/06/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C.`s latest league match was played out on the Moat pond on Sat.24th.June. The whole day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a light to fresh southerly breeze which brought no relief from the high temperatures that reached a season high of 26/27 degrees. Match weights of late have been disappointing during recent spawning and hot conditions so the highest temperatures of the year so far gave no confidence of much of a change today. These suspicions were borne out at the weigh in with Darren only needing 37lbs.6ozs. from Peg 28 to claim the win. Melvyn in Peg 12 fell 5lbs. short to finish the runner up weighing 32lbs.6ozs. Phil in Peg 29 doubled the family name in the winners frame falling only half a pound short of second place with his 32lbs.dead. Summing up it was a competitive match with close but disappointingly low weights being very similar to today`s Hygena match on Lambwath pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

24/06/2023 - Hygena A.C.
Hygena fished a non league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.24th.June. The day was bright and dry from the off with a mixture of cloud and sunshine throughout. There was a light to fresh southerly breeze that had no effect on cooling the temperature as the mercury reached a season high of 26/27 degrees. Unfortunately the fish did not take kindly to the heat as organiser Dave only required 39lbs.8ozs. to take the win. He was followed home in second by Ryan in Peg 9 who managed 26lbs. Last place in the winners frame went to Trevor who scraped together 24lbs.8ozs. from Peg 6. Yet again another tough match with poor weights similar to what we have experienced in recent weeks. It is suspected that recent spawning and hot conditions of late could be having a negative effect but that is only a guess. We all hope that things soon become easier. P.S. If you take a look at A.A.C.`s match on the Moat pond today it shows that the weights were very similar to this match! Congratulations to all placed participants.

22/06/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match took place on the Moat pond on Thur.22nd.June. The day was mixture of high cloud and sunshine with a light to fresh onshore wind as the temperature reached a high of 21 degrees. As we have seen from recent reports the match weights on these ponds have been much less than hoped for and today`s hot calm conditions did not give much hope for any great improvement. These thoughts were proved correct as at the weigh-in it was that man Andy who once again took the victory scraping together a lowly weight of 20lbs.6ozs. from Peg 28. Barry was a close second on Peg 30, a couple of pounds short bringing 18lbs. to the scales. It was even closer for second and third but Tim in Peg 21 had to settle for the lower position falling only a couple of ozs. short of second. with his 17lbs.15ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth was Paul Rhodes in Peg 10 who managed 15lbs.9ozs. All in all a very tight match of once again very disappointing weights. Lets hope for better thing soon. Congratulations to all placed participants.

18/06/2023 - Bluebell A.C.
Bluebell A.C. held a league match on the Caravan pond on Sun.18th.June. The weather was a mixture of high cloud and sunshine throughout with a light easterly breeze blowing down the pond from the North sea. This had little effect on the temperature as it reached a high of 18 degrees. As readers of these reports will know that match weights on these ponds have been less than hoped for for some time now so we are all hoping for a upturn in results!. Disappointingly at the weigh-in these hopes proved unfounded as Paul in Peg 12 took the win with a moderate weight of 50lbs.10ozs. He was followed home in second place by Dave who was pegged opposite Paul in Peg 30 who pushed him very close with his 48lbs.15ozs. One more fish would have done it Dave.! A big drop to third place occurred as Big John in Peg 35 only required 19lbs.13ozs. to claim the position. All in all a close fought affair at the top of the order but with weights sadly dropping off down the order. Things can only get better, hopefully. Congratulations to all placed participants.

17/06/2023 - Robbo
Robbo of Risby Park fame brought a group of anglers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.17th.June. A slight change in the weather than of late saw cloud cover throughout with a light easterly breeze and the temperature a few degrees down at around 15 degrees. Match weights over the last month have been on the low side so this weeks high temperatures and a second spawning of the season on Wed. and Thur. did nothing to encourage us to believe things would improve today. What a surprise was in store at the weigh-in as Willy in Peg 13 brought a impressive weight of 154lbs. to the scales to claim the victory, It was a close run affair as Steve fell only one fish short of the win with his 150lbs. from Peg 8. The last place in the winners frame went to match organiser Robbo in Peg 28 who produced another good effort that would have won many a match putting 127lbs on the scales. I understand that all anglers topped the 40lbs. mark. All in all, it was a very good match of surprisingly good weights from a group of very good anglers. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.15th.Jun. The morning was again bright with clear blue skies and warm sunshine throughout the day. The seemingly ever present north easterly breeze was still present but this sheltered pond saw temperatures in the low to mid 20`s Unfortunately the carp were spawning for the second day after already spawning around a month ago. This did not bode well for good weights which have been in short supply for some time. It turned out that things could have been worse as at the weigh-in Andy once again claimed the victory with a weight of 50lbs.15ozs. from Peg 26. Paul is on a decent run at the moment and took the runner-up spot with his 40lbs.7ozs. Third place was a joint affair as Terry Foard in Peg 22 and Tony Pickup in Peg 1 could not be separated with both bringing 22lbs.14ozs. to the scales. Summing up. things could have been worse due to the heat and the spawning so congratulations to all placed participants.

11/06/2023 - Fishing 4 Heroes
Fishing 4 Heroes held a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.11th.June. The morning started bright with warm sunshine that continued throughout the day. There was still a light easterly breeze that held the temperature to around 20 degrees in the open but on this sheltered pond it felt more like 25 degrees. The going has been hard on these pond for a week or two so how would it fish today? The answer was not very well as at the weigh-in Danny claimed the victory with a very conservative weight of 44lbs.8ozs. from Peg 30. Darren in Peg 24 fell only 7lbs. short of the win with his 38lbs. to finish in the runner up slot. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second and third and it was Craig in Peg 15 who had to settle for the last place in the winners frame falling only 8ozs. short of second place bringing 37lbs.9ozs. to the scales. Summing up it was a very competitive match at the top of the order with less than hoped for weights.

10/06/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. continued their summer league programme on the Caravan pond on Sat.10.June. The match was fished on the low number pegs on the North bank only. A big change occurred in the weather overnight, after a long spell of strong cold winds off the sea and total cloud cover the morning was bright with warm sunshine and blue skies. The easterly breeze was still present but it felt distinctly warmer as the temperature reached a high of 18 degrees. Sadly the fishing did not improve with the weather as Paul in Peg 3 took the win with a lowly 33lbs.6ozs. his catch was boosted by 3 or 4 decent fish in the last couple of hours of the match. Second place went to Tim in the adjacent Peg 5 who managed 22lbs.6ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to the seemingly ever present Andy who scraped together 19lbs. from Peg 8. Summing up, it was another disappointing match almost mirroring the result of today`s match on the Moat pond. Things can only get better surely !!. Well done to all anglers for sticking it out in tough conditions.

Cannon A.C. held a league match on the Moat pond on Sat 10th June. For the first time in what feels like an age the morning was dry and bright with clear blue skies and warm sunshine throughout. The stubborn easterly breeze remained but the air was warmer with the temperature reaching a high of 18 degrees although it felt warmer in sheltered areas. It was a shame that the fishing did not improve with the upturn in the weather as Ben in Peg 23 only needed 40lbs.10ozs. to claim the victory. This very moderate weight still left him comfortably clear of runner-up Kristien who managed 22lbs1oz. from Peg 11. It was much closer between second and third but Kev had to settle for the last place in the frame falling just over 1lb. short of the higher position with his 21lbs. from Peg 25. Summing up. Another disappointing match with much less than hoped for weights. These kind of results have been the norm for around 3 weeks now but for what reason I have no answer. Lets hope things soon improve soon. Congratulations to all placed participants.

03/06/2023 - Phoenix A.C.
Phoenix A.C. held a club match on Lambwath pond on Sat.3rd.June. The morning was dry and clear with a mixture of cloud and sunshine early on. As the morning wore on the north easterly breeze cleared the cloud away to give a warm afternoon with temperatures reaching a high of 15 degrees. Match results of late have been less than hoped for and observations during this one seemed to show that things were little different today with plenty of fish on the surface but ignoring any offered baits. Things had not improved much as at the weigh-in it was Paul in Peg 6 who only needed 62lbs.2ozs. to claim the win. This left him comfortably clear of Mick with his 39lbs.14ozs from Peg 25. Andy claimed the last place in the winners frame bringing 26lbs. to the scales from Peg 8. All in all a match of disappointing weights that will hopefully improve sooner rather than later. Congratulations to Paul for the win and the other placed participants.

01/06/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s mid week match of local anglers took place on the Caravan pond on Thur.1st.June. Flaming June started with total cloud cover and damp spells of drizzle. There was a brisk north easterly breeze blowing down the pond restricting the temperature to a cool 12 degrees. Not much like summer here. Making enquires as the match progressed, the answers were definitely in the negative. This continued throughout the match and at the weigh-in Andy claimed the win once more from Peg 34 but he only needed 22lbs.10ozs. to overcome Clive who gave him a good run for the win falling just over 1lb. adrift with 21lbs.7ozs. in Peg 30. Last place in the winners frame went to Tim in Peg 32 who managed 9lbs.11ozs. A sign of the day was that Paul Rhodes in Peg 12 did not have a single bite all day. All in all, a disaster on the Caravan pond, I can`t even try to evaluate that result other than to say "It can only get better" Can`t it !? Lets hope so. Never the less well done to all placed participants and to all anglers for sticking it out in tough conditions.

27/05/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. latest league match took place today 27th.May.2023 on Lambwath pond. The day was dry with blue skies and warm sunshine throughout. Initially there was a light south westerly breeze that freshened as it veered to a cooler south easterly direction around midday. It remained warm with the temperature around the 17 degree mark but cooler in the wind. The ponds do not seem to have settled down after recent spawning so how would it fish today. Well at the weigh-in it was club secretary Peter who claimed top spot with a nice bag of fish weighing 63lbs.13ozs. from Peg 13. Only four pounds adrift in the runner up slot was in form Paul who is on a good run at the moment with his 60lbs. dead from Peg 15. Last place in the winners circle went to Tim who features fairly regularly in these reports who brought 52lbs.1oz. to the scales from Peg 21. Summing up, the large weights are still missing but it was a competitive match at the top of the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

25/05/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match was held on Lambwath pond on Thur.25th.May. The day was dry and bright throughout with some scattered high clouds but mostly warm sunshine. Despite the easterly breeze the temperature achieved a comfortable high of 15 degrees. Pleasure angling catches have been on the low side since last weeks spawning so it was a bit of a lottery as to how it would fish today. The result showed that things were still on the slow side as once again it was organiser Andy who took the honours with a reasonable weight of 54lbs.4ozs. from the unfancied Peg 23. The runner up slot went to Barry in Peg 13 who was delighted to claim what I believe was his first frame position of the season with his 44lbs.7ozs. Well done Barry! The last place in the frame went to Tim who managed 41lbs.2ozs. from Peg 6. Just outside the frame in fourth was Tony Pickup in Peg 8 with his 33lbs.10ozs. Summing up, it was not a easy match with hard work and imagination required to achieve results so well done to all placed participants.

21/05/2023 - Woldsmen A.C.
Woldsmen A.C. held a club match on the Caravan pond on Sun.21st.May. The day was dry and bright with sunshine throughout but the very fresh North Easterly breeze blowing straight down the pond reduced the recorded temperature of 14 degrees by a few digits when pegged in it`s path. Asking the question as the match progressed the feeling was it was hard going across the board. This was proved correct at the weigh-in as organiser Colin, not for the first time on these ponds claimed the win from Peg 39 with a moderate weight of 63lbs.13ozs. The runner up slot was claimed by Paul in Peg 10 with his 42lbs.7ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Chris who managed 33lbs.15ozs. from Peg 17. Just outside the frame in fourth was Shane Berwick only 4lbs. adrift of third with his 30lbs.3ozs. from Peg 22. Whether the wind played a part in the match is unknown but it was a match of less than hoped for weights but congratulations to all placed participants.

21/05/2023 - Bluebell A.C.
Bluebell A.C. held a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.21st.May. The day was dry with sunshine throughout although the fresh north easterly breeze blowing in off the nearby North sea held the temperature down to 14degrees, feeling warmer in sheltered areas. This pond experienced heavy spawning during the first three days of this week so it was a lottery for how it would fish today. Early indications were that there would be no big weights today. At the weigh-in Jody in Peg 15 claimed the honours with a good weight under the circumstances of 104lbs.12ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of around 50lbs. over his closest rival Paul in the adjacent Peg 14 who brought 55lbs. to the scales. The gap between second and third was a much closer affair but Pete had to settle for the last place in the frame falling only 3lbs short of second with his 52lbs.4ozs. from Peg 6. Summing up, it was a steady rather than spectacular match with weights probably affected by recent spawning. Congratulations to all placed participants.

20/05/2023 - Ace of Clubs
Ace of Clubs held a summer league match on the Tench pond on Sat.20th.May. The day was bright being overcast with a fresh easterly breeze that held the temperature down to a cool 11 degrees. The amount of Rudd that are now in this pond posed the usual question for match anglers on this pond. That is whether to go for the silver fish from the off or sit it out a bit for the greater rewards if the Carp decide to feed? Well at the weigh-in it was the silvers that won the day hands down as Secretary Rob claimed the victory with a decent weight of 49lbs.1oz. from Peg 7. It was very close between Rob and Mally in Peg 5 who had to settle for second place falling only 3ozs. short of the win with his 48lbs.15ozs. Finally another close call was to decide who claimed the last place in the winners frame but Alan in Peg 2 and Darren West in Peg 8 could not be separated so a tie was called with each weighing 20lbs.8ozs. Summing up it was a close fought affair in the winners frame with all four anglers catch being made up of Silver fish!! Congratulations to all placed participants.

18/05/2023 - A. Hold
Andy`s midweek match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.18th May. The day was dry throughout but with only a little sunshine due to the thin high cloud cover. There was a light south easterly breeze that allowed the temperature to reach a comfortable high of around 16 degrees. There was no evidence of the spawning that has been ongoing in this pond for the previous three days but it still remained a difficult call as to how it would fish. At the weigh-in it was Andy who re-claimed the top spot with a good weight under the circumstances of 108lbs.3ozs. from Peg 13. He targeted the Bream early on putting around 30lbs. of them in the net before fishing the margins for the Carp later on. The runner-up slot went to Paul who is on a decent run at the moment bringing 54lbs.9ozs. to the scales from the unfancied Peg 26. Last place in the frame went to Tony in Peg 14 with his 35lbs.7ozs. All in all a decent match with less than hoped for but better than expected weights after the spawning. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league continued on the Moat pond on Sun.14th.May. The day started with some mist and full cloud cover. The light breeze had moved overnight to a warmer westerly direction although it veered to a south easterly direction towards midday. Around this time the mist cleared and the cloud broke up to give a very welcome warm afternoon with the temperature rising to a pleasant 16 degrees. A very pleasant change!. As the match progressed the going was steady rather than spectacular which was bourn out at the weigh-in as Andy took the win with 68lbs.10ozs. from Peg 10. The runner up slot went to Mike in Peg 26 who brought 43lbs.4ozs. to the scales from Peg 26. Craig in Peg 7 claimed the last place in the winners frame with his 39lbs.9ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth place was Gary Shepherd in Peg 28 who managed 34lbs.13ozs. Summing up, Another steady match with no big weights this week but fairly competitive at the top of the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

14/05/2023 - Armstrong`s. A.C.
Armstrongs held a rod only match on Lambwath pond on Sun.14th.May.The morning was dry with some mist and total cloud cover but the good news was that the breeze had finally stopped blowing in off the sea and had moved round to a westerly direction but moved to a south easterly direction around midday Around this time the cloud and mist cleared to give a welcome warm sunny afternoon with the temperature rising to a pleasant 16 degrees. The news during the match was that a couple of pegs in the north east corner of the pond were doing well but the rest were struggling a bit. This was proved correct at the weigh-in as Darren in Peg 8 took the victory with a decent weight of 104lbs.15ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 42lbs. over second placed Ivan who managed 62lbs.10ozs. from the adjacent Peg 6. Last place in the frame went to Dave in Peg 29 with his 37lbs.4ozs. Summing up it was a runaway win for Darren with most of the fish coming from the car park end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

13/05/2023 - Hygena A.C.
Lambwath pond hosted a Hygena club match on Sat.13th.May. The whole day was dry but suffered from total cloud cover throughout. There was also a fresh north easterly breeze coming in off the nearby North sea that did nothing for the temperature as the mercury only reached a cool 10 degrees. As the match progressed the fishing was decidedly slow for the most part with some indication of silver fish spawning in the margins giving not much hope of any large weights. At the conclusion Dave was declared the victor with a good weight on 118lbs. from the unfancied Peg 25. This gave him a cushion of 38lbs. over his closest rival Ryan who brought 77lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 13. Last place in the winners frame went to Phil in Peg 9 who managed 47lbs.4ozs. All in all a steady match with less than hoped for weights. Hopefully there will be better days to come. Congratulations to all placed participants.

13/05/2023 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. continued their summer league matches on the Moat pond on Sat.13th.May 2023. The whole day suffered from total cloud cover and a cold north easterly wind that held the temperature down to a cool 10 degrees. Enquires during the match showed that the fishing was very much on the slow side so whether the cold of recent days has had a effect on the fishing it`s difficult to say but at the weigh-in it was Darren in Peg 23 who took the win with a less than hoped for weight of 41lbs. Andy, a regular in the winners columns of these reports was in the runner-up slot today with his 34lbs.6ozs. from Peg 6. Phil in the adjacent Peg 7 added to the family name by taking third place managing 32lbs.1oz. Summing up ,it was a disappointing match weight wise for this time of the year. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s mid-week match for local anglers took place on the Moat pond on Thur.11th.May. The morning was dry with plenty of sunshine although there was always the threat of showers with some heavy cloud always lingering in the distance. Luckily the light north easterly breeze kept the clouds to the west of us and we enjoyed a very pleasant day as the cloud disappeared and the breeze dropped away to a whisper allowing the temperature to climb to a spring high of around 20 degrees. Observations seemed to suggest that the fishing was steady rather than spectacular but Tim in the new peg 1A claimed the victory with a decent net of fish of 58lbs.10ozs. Paul took the runner-up slot falling only 5lbs. short of the win bringing 54lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 7 Last place in the winners frame went to Phil in Peg 23 who managed 46lbs.8ozs. All in all a competitive match at the top of the order with decent weights fished in very comfortable conditions for a change. Congratulations to all placed participants.

30/04/2023 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s summer league was held on the Caravan pond on Sun.30th.Apr. The day was dry with thin high white clouds and a fair amount of sunshine. There was a light southerly breeze that allowed the temperature to rise to a very comfortable 15 degrees, which made a very pleasant change to what we have experienced this spring. Asking the question as the match progressed the fishing was steady and no big weights which is the trade mark of this group of anglers was expected. This turned out to be correct as Big Ken himself took the honours with a very good weight of 95lbs.13ozs. from Peg 27. Colin in Peg 30 was the runner up with another good effort of 85lbs.13ozs. Sandwiched between these two in the adjacent Peg 29 was Mike who fell only three pounds short of second place with his 82lbs.13ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Willy Eyre who weighed 82lbs.13ozs. in Peg 39. Summing up, it was close fought competitive match with just the usual big weights missing. Must try harder lads.!!

29/04/2023 - A.A..C.
Aldbrough Angling Club`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.29th.Apr. The overnight rain cleared to leave a dry day with high thin cloud that allowed a little weak sunshine to force it`s way through at times. There was a light southerly wind that allowed the temperature to reach a high of 12 degrees, a slight improvement of recent times. Observations during the match showed that things were on the slow side with fish being reluctant to feed. At the weigh-in it was Phil in Peg 21 who claimed the win bringing 76lbs.12ozs, to the scales again using the pellet waggler to great effect. This was his second win on this pond in three days using this method so well done Phil ! The runner up slot went to Paul in Peg 11 who managed 49lbs.8ozs. whilst the last place in the winners frame went to Alan in Peg 15 with his 41lbs.14ozs. Summing up, it was a steady rather than spectacular affair with less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s mid-week match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.27th.Apr. The day was dry but cold with light cloud cover that allowed weak sunshine to penetrate through, although it had little effect on the temperature which was held to a cool 10 degrees by the fresh to moderate south east wind. Observations as the match progressed showed that fish were slow to feed giving little hope of any big weights. This proved to be the case at the weigh-in although Phil did very well to to bring 70lbs.13ozs. to scales from Peg 24 using the pellet waggler method . Well done Phil. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third and it was Steve with his 49lbs.12ozs. who claimed the runner-up slot from Peg 13. Andy fell only 10ozs. short but had to settle for third place with his 49lbs.3ozs. Summing up. It was a cold day in the wind with less than hoped for weights. Well done to all placed participants.

23/04/2023 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s final winter league match of the season was run on Lambwath pond on Sun.23rd.Apr. After more overnight rain the morning was a miserable affair with overcast misty conditions and a threat of rain ever present. There was a fresh northerly wind that held the temperature down to a cold 9 degrees. There was a two hour spell of continuous rain in the early afternoon but it had cleared away for the weigh-in. The winner turned out to be Darren in Peg 6 with a excellent weight of 159lbs.3ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 60 lbs. over his closest rival. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but it was Andy in Peg 9 who took second with his 98lbs.15ozs. This left Willy having to settle for third place only 6ozs, adrift with 98lbs.10ozs. from Peg 15. Just outside the frame in fourth place was the eventual league winner Steve Conlan who managed 75lbs.7ozs. from Peg 11. Big Ken was in fifth spot weighing 70lbs.11ozs. in Peg 30. Summing up it was a runaway win for Darren but a close fought affair down the order. Congratulations to Steve for his overall win and well done to all these anglers for a excellent series of matches.

22/04/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl ran a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.22nd.Apr. After overnight rain the day was dry, the morning was mostly cloudy with a westerly breeze that eased during the afternoon as the clouds cleared allowing the sun to break through and lift the temperature to a warm 15 degrees. The fishing during the morning was steady rather than spectacular but improved during the latter stages. The match was won by organiser Karl who appears to have the Peg 30 tag tied to his hand when dipping in the draw bag. He finished with a decent weight of 130lbs. from this peg once more.!! This gave him a cushion of 43lbs over runner up Garry in Peg 7 who finished with 87lbs.1oz. Last place in the winners frame was claimed by Steve with his 73lbs.4ozs. from Peg 28. Just outside the frame in fourth place only 4lbs. adrift was Matty Parker in Peg 21 who managed 70lbs. All in all a steady match with a clear winner but much more competitive down the order. Good numbers of fish are being caught fishing up in the water on pellet waggler. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s penultimate winter league match was held on a muddy Caravan pond on Sun.16th.Apr. The day was dry with a mixture of cloud and weak sunshine There was a fresh south easterly wind coming in off the sea keeping the temperature down to a cool 9 degrees. Despite the cool conditions it appeared that fish were coming to the nets fairly regularly This was bourn out at the weigh-in as Steve took the victory with a excellent catch of 146lbs.1oz. from Peg 32. This gave him a massive cushion of 60lbs. over second placed Darren in Peg 26 who carded 86lbs.4ozs. Less than 1lb. adrift in third place was Dave in Peg 29 with his 85lbs.9ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Willy Eyre in the adjacent Peg 30 with a commendable 81lbs.13ozs. Summing up, it was a run away win for Steve but a close fought affair for the lower places. Congratulations to winner Steve and well done to all placed anglers.

15/04/2023 - A.A..C.
The Moat pond hosted A.A.C.`s summer league match on Sat.15th.Apr. The morning was dry but dull and overcast with a fresh south easterly breeze blowing in off the North Sea. There was a complete transformation of the weather around lunch time as the clouds cleared and the breeze dropped off to give clear blue skies and wall to wall sunshine becoming very comfortable as the temperature reached a high of 15 degrees. A welcome change from the early weeks of this Spring. The pity was that the fishing did not improve with the weather as Andy once again took the honours with a less than hoped for 33lbs.3ozs. from Peg 29. Second place went to Darren in Peg 21 with his 22lbs.4ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Phil who managed 21lbs.2ozs. from Peg 26. All in all a hard going match with a series of disappointing weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match was run on the Moat pond on Thur.13th.Apr. the day was fairly bright with a mixture of sunshine and heavy black clouds moving quickly out to sea on a strong westerly wind. There was the occasional sharp shower but nothing of real concern with the temperature reaching 11 degrees or so. Unfortunately more recent heavy rain has made the banks of the ponds extremely wet that soon become a muddy mess when in use. The Moat at the moment is overflowing the banks in places, so conditions are not good ! Observations during the match appeared to show that the fishing was hard going for most. At the weigh-in Paul in Peg 30 came out top of the pile with a decent weight for the day of 48lbs.7ozs. This almost doubled the weight of runner up Clive who managed 24lbs.14ozs. in Peg 10 Organiser Andy was again in the winners frame but had to settle for third place today with his 18lbs.7ozs from Peg 23. Summing up it was hard going for most for a variety of reasons so well done to Paul for the victory who is on a good run at the moment and congratulations to all placed participants.

09/04/2023 - Ron`s Rovers
Ron brought his Rovers to fish a match on the Tench pond on Sun.9th.Apr. The day was mainly overcast with light cloud that allowed weak sunshine to occasionally break through but did nothing to raise the temperature as the cool south easterly breeze restricted the temperature to a cool 9 degrees. This pond is not easy to observe whilst the match is in progress so I had to wait for the weigh-in to see how it had gone. The result was a victory for Owen who presented a decent weight of 59lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 9. Organiser Ron in Peg 11 claimed the runner-up spot falling only 4lbs.short of the win with his 56lbs.3ozs. Last place in the frame went to Graham in Peg 10 who managed 24lbs. The three winning pegs were all in a row at the far end of the pond with catches being made up of Rudd and Carp. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.9th.Apr. The day was dry with low light cloud that allowed the sun to emerge occasionally but had little effect on the temperature as the south east breeze restricted the temperature to a cool 9 degrees. Observations as the match progressed appeared to show the cool conditions were not discouraging the fish as the came to the nets on a regular basis. It was no surprise at the weigh-in to see Craig take the win with a excellent weight of 145lbs. from Peg 12. Willy was a worthy runner-up with another good effort bringing 127lbs.14ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Darren took the last place in the winners frame with his 100lbs. dead from Peg 15 Just outside the frame was Gary Shepherd in Peg 7 who managed 89lbs.15ozs. Fifth place went to Mike Lloyd in Peg 28 weighing 77lbs.10ozs. All in all another match of very good weights from this group of anglers. Congratulations to all participants.

Andy`s local anglers midweek match was played out on the Moat pond on Thur.6th.Apr. After more recent heavy rain the morning continued in a similar vein with heavy dark clouds and spells of rain that petered out before lunch to give a dryer afternoon. There was a north westerly breeze that held the temperature down to a cool 9 degrees. The water level in the Moat is very high at the moment actually overflowing the banks at the car park end so we wondered how it would fish. Well surprise surprise it was that man Andy again who came away with the victory bringing 57lbs.7ozs. to the scales from Peg 1. Runner-up spot was claimed by Tim in Peg 7 with his 25lbs.7ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Chris who managed 19lbs.4ozs. from Peg 10. Summing up, it was a run away win for Andy who has dominated these matches throughout with a reasonable winning weight that more than doubled his closest challenger. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The Aldbrough Angling Club (A.A.C.) fished their opening summer league match of the new season on Lambwath pond on Sat.1st.Apr. After more overnight rain that went to maintain the poor underfoot conditions the day was a mixture of low cloud, mist and drizzle driven onshore by a fresh easterly breeze that kept the temperature down to a cool 7 degrees. Fairly miserable conditions although this pond is somewhat sheltered from onshore breezes by the trees on the car park. Looking over the bank as the match progressed it appeared there was a few fish coming to the nets so hopes were for some decent weights. At the weigh-in it was Andy yet again who took the win with a good weight of 75lbs.7ozs. from Peg 29. Runner up today was Steve in Peg 6 with another good effort of 65lbs.4ozs. Darren in Peg 30 claimed the last place in the frame with his 62lbs.14ozs. All in all a good close fought match at the top of the order with plenty of success fishing short on the pellet waggler. Not only did Andy win the match he also cleaned out the Golden Peg bank on the first day of the season.

Andy`s mid week match made up of local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.30th.March. After plenty more heavy downpours the ground conditions are very wet to say the least. The morning started bright with a mixture of heavy clouds moved on by a fresh westerly breeze and spells of sunshine. After lunch we experienced another heavy shower but after this the breeze dropped off allowing the temperature to reach a high of 14 degrees in the sunshine. Having a look at the match as it progressed it appeared to be hard going and was not looking good for big weights. This was proved to be correct at the weigh-in as yet again organiser Andy took the honours with a moderate weight of 48lbs.8ozs. from Peg 15. Runner-up slot went to Paul in Peg 1 with his 31lbs.6ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Steve who brought 26lbs.1oz. to the scales from Peg 13. Just outside the frame in fourth was Clive Erett in Peg 26 who managed 23lbs.9ozs. Summing up, it was a match of disappointing weights probably due in part to the amount of cold water that has entered the ponds during this month. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big ken`s winter league returned to fish a match on Lambwath pond on 26th Mar.2023. The day was dry with total cloud cover and a strong north easterly wind that restricted the temperature to a cool 8 degrees. Things looked promising as the match progressed with fish coming to the nets regularly. This proved to be correct as at the weigh-in it was Willy on his return to these banks who took the win with a excellent early season weight of 127lbs.13ozs. from Peg 11. Organiser Ken was only 5lbs. adrift in second with his 122lbs.7ozs. from Peg 26. Last place in the winners frame went to Mike in Peg 28 who brought 109lbs.7ozs. to the scales. A further two anglers broke the "ton" mark with Gary Shepherd claiming fourth spot with 106lbs.7ozs. from Peg 21. Fifth place went to Colin Smith in Peg 9 who probably felt disappointing to not finish further up the order with his 103lbs.10ozs. All in all a very good match with a series of excellent weights with five over the 100lb. mark despite the early season and recent poor weather. Congratulations to all anglers.

25/03/2023 - J. Parker
John Parker ran a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.25th.Mar. After more overnight rain that did nothing for already sodden ground conditions the morning was a mixture of dark heavy clouds and spells of sunshine, there was a strong westerly breeze that veered to a more northerly direction during the afternoon bringing more rain and lowering the temperature from a high of 9 degrees. Observations during the match were not very encouraging and at the weigh-in it was Andy in peg 30 who took the victory with a less than hoped for 68lbs.5ozs. from Peg 30. This moderate weight still managed to almost double second placed Craig`s 35lbs.7ozs. from Peg 13. Last place in the winners frame went to Ian in Peg 28 who managed 25lbs.13 ozs. All in all a disappointing match for most anglers with the last two weeks of poor weather probably having a effect on catches. Let`s hope things soon improve. Congratulations to all placed participants

Andy`s midweek match took place on the Caravan pond on Thur.23rd.Mar. The match was fished only on the high number pegs on the south side of the pond. After more heavy overnight rain the morning was dry with a mixture of heavy cloud and warm sunshine. There was a very strong south westerly wind that made conditions difficult but despite this it was very mild as temperatures reached a comfortable 12 degrees Under foot conditions are now very wet and the downpour in the early afternoon did nothing to improve this. Due to the conditions I did not see a lot of the match but at the weigh-in it was Steve in Peg 29 who managed to unseat regular winner Andy with a excellent weight of 84lbs.10ozs. Andy still managed to stay in the winners frame but had to settle for the runner-up slot with his 21lbs.10ozs. Last place in the frame went to Paul in Peg 35 who brought 13lbs.13ozs. to the scales. Summing up - It was a runaway win for Steve in a otherwise disappointing match under difficult conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

18/03/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl Franks ran a match on our Lambwath pond on Sat,18th.Mar. The day was overcast with a light south westerly breeze and was very mild under the clouds reaching a high of 11 degrees. The day stayed dry as we avoided the threatened heavy showers. Looking over the match a couple of times it seemed to me that things were a bit on the slow side so it was a surprise to me at the weigh-in to see organiser Karl bring a excellent early season winning weight of 150lbs.14ozs.to the scales from Peg 30. Runner- up Dave produced another good effort breaking the `ton` mark with his 108lbs.4ozs. Steve in Peg 9 fell just short of this mark with his 92lbs.14ozs. A mention must go to new to match fishing Dave Waterton who did well to finish fourth in the company of some very good match anglers managing 46lbs.14ozs. from Peg 2. All in all a very good match with some excellent earl season weights at the top of the order.. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s regular mid-week match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.16th.Mar. The match was fished on the L.H. side of the rope only. After heavy overnight rain the morning was overcast with a light south westerly breeze that allowed the temperature to reach a very mild 11 degrees. Nothing of note to report from the match so we go to the weigh-in and it was no surprise to see organiser Andy come out on top once again with a good weight of 60lbs.7ozs. from Peg 28. Tim again featured in the winners frame, this time in the runner up slot bringing 46lbs.11ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Last place in the frame went to Clive in Peg 22 who managed 33lbs.11ozs. All in all a decent match with better weights that are to be expected as Spring is hopefully just around the corner. The catches today were made up of aprox. 50/50 Bream and Carp. Another thing is I am writing A. Hold in the number one position far too much so come on lads lets see some changes at the top of the order. !!! Congratulations to all participants.

Big Ken`s winter league match was fished on the Moat pond on Sun.12th.Mar. Only the high number Pegs on the road side and the main car park end bank were used, Pegs 16 to 30. The morning was dry but overcast with a freshening south westerly wind that eased during the afternoon to drop completely by the end of the match. There was also some weak sunshine after lunch allowing the temperature to reach a mild 10 degrees. Asking the question during the match it appeared like yesterday things were hard with the two pegs at the opposite ends of the pond looking to be the favourites. This forecast turned out to be correct as at the weigh-in Steve in Peg 16 claimed the win with a decent weight of 48lbs.2ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 32lbs. over runner up Andy in Peg 30 who managed 16lbs.5ozs. Big Ken himself took the last place in the winners frame with his 9lbs.6ozs. from Peg 20. Summing up, it was a very similar match to yesterdays with a decent winning winter weight but dropping of badly down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s weekly match of local anglers took place this week on Lambwath pond on Sat.11th.March. After a week of very poor weather and a keen overnight frost the morning was bright with a mixture of sunshine and high light white clouds. there was a slight westerly breeze that dropped off completely into the afternoon allowing the temperature to reach a comfortable 10 degrees, The weeks weather was responsible for a few angler withdrawals with the match fished on the high number pegs on the south bank only Looking over the match a couple of times things seemed to be on the slow side with a few skimmers and silver fish coming to the nets, at the weigh-in it was a surprise to see Andy bring a very nice net of 51lbs.12ozs. of mainly good Bream and skimmers to the scales from Peg 26. Runner up Tim in Peg 30 managed one Carp in his 23lbs.9ozs. whilst Clive in third place had the only other Carp of the day in his weight of 16lbs.9ozs. from Peg 24. All in all, a decent match at the top of the order with congratulations to Andy for his excellent net of fish, well done.

Carl`s Bluebell club fished a winter league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.5th.March. The day was dry but cloudy throughout with a whisper of a westerly breeze. The conditions were good for the time of the year but the temperature still remained cool at around 8 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times it appeared the fishing was on the slow side. This was proved to be the case at the weigh-in as Colin in Peg 28 only required 37lbs.15ozs. to claim the victory. Runner up Luke brought 29lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 7. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but Dave in Peg 11 had to settle for the last place in the winners frame falling only 5ozs. short of the higher placing. Only 1lb. further back in fourth place was Paul Tweddle with his 28lbs.2ozs. from Peg13. Summing up it was a competitive close fought match with less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match made up of local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.2nd.March. The match was fished on the south bank or L.H. side of the rope only. The day was dry but cloudy throughout with a light north easterly wind that held the temperature down to a cool 8 degrees. Nothing of note occurred during the match so we go to the weigh-in and it was organiser Andy who again took the victory with a winter winning weight of 42 lbs. from Peg 21. In view of the fish caught this gave him a comfortable cushion of 24lbs over his closest rival Steve who managed 17lbs.8ozs. from Peg 24. Last place in the winners frame went to Clive who is having a good run at the moment with his 11lbs.13ozs. All in all a typical winter match with weights to match, probably affected by the run of strong cold winds we have experienced recently coming in off the north sea. Hopefully results will improve as Spring weather arrives. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Lambwath pond was the venue for Big Ken`s winter league match on Sun.26th.Feb. The day was bright and sunny throughout with a fresh north easterly wind that held the temperature down to around 9 degrees although in sheltered areas in the sun and out of the wind it was much warmer. There was a slight ripple on the water at the western end of the pond but it was flat calm over most of the surface. At the weigh-in it was Craig who came out the winner with a excellent winter weight of 116lbs.8ozs. from Peg 12. This more than doubled the weight of runner-up Mike in Peg 7 who brought 52lbs.4ozs. to the scales. Third place went to Gary who fell only 5lbs. short of second place with his 47lbs.11ozs. from Peg15. Just outside the frame in fourth spot was Darren Mullins who managed 25lbs.14ozs.in Peg 30. The last match tips gleaned from Gary obviously did the trick for Darren!! today.
summing up, it was a run away win for Craig with a very good late winter weight but much more competitive down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s match of mostly local anglers changed venues today deciding to give the Tench pond a try. The morning was cloudy with a strong north easterly wind sweeping across the ponds from the nearby North Sea. Luckily it managed to keep dry throughout the match with some winter sun during the afternoon although this did nothing to lift the temperature above a cold 5 degrees. There was a decision to be made from the off on this pond?? whether to go for the big head of Rudd in this pond or sit it out for a few larger Carp. At the weigh-in it was Paul`s brave decision to target the carp in winter that won the day with his 43lbs.11ozs. of this species from Peg 9. Clive on the other hand in Peg 6 worked hard for a good bag of all Rudd that weighed 29lbs.10ozs. Barry in third place went along the same path with an all Rudd net of 15lbs.14ozs. Organiser Andy was just outside the winners frame managing 14lbs.2ozs. from Peg 11. All in all a good winter match with what fish to target on this pond a important decision. Well done to all placed participants.

25/02/2023 - Karl Franks
Karl`s final winter league match of the season was played out on Lambwath pond on Sat.25th.Feb. The morning was not very promising with plenty of cloud and a early rain shower driven ashore from the nearby North Sea by a strong cold north easterly wind. Things improved during the afternoon as the cloud broke up to allow some sunshine to break through although it had very little effect on the temperature that only managed a high of 5 or so degrees. The cold and the wind made for difficult conditions but Matty not only won the match but also the league with a good winter weight of 73lbs.4ozs. form Peg 7 Well don Matt. Organiser Karl took the runner up slot with his 52lbs.2ozs. from Peg 30. Last place in the winners frame went to Steve who managed 34lbs.7ozs. in Peg 28. Just outside the frame in Fourth Was Steve Hewitt in Peg 9 who weighed 31lbs.10ozs. All in all a match of decent winter weights in very cold windy conditions so well done to all anglers.

Andy again ran another small match for a group of mainly local anglers on Lambwath pond on Sat.18th.Feb. the day was cloudy throughout with a moderate westerly breeze that eased during the afternoon as the cloud became heavier bringing drizzle towards the end of the match. The temperature hovered around the 10 degree mark. The match was fished on the L.H. side of the centre rope only. Enquiries as the match progressed appeared to show that anglers were having to work hard for their rewards with skimmers and silver fish the order of the day. At the weigh-in Andy again claimed the victory with a weight of 47lbs.3ozs. from Peg 26. this gave him a cushion of 27lbs. over second place Tim in Peg 21 who managed 19lbs.9ozs. Only 2lbs. adrift in third place was Paul who brought 17lbs.8ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Summing up, it was a bit of a disappointing match weight wise with the carp not showing until the last two hours. Congratulations go to all placed participants.

The latest round of Big Ken`s winter league took place on the Caravan pond on Sun.12th.Feb. The whole day was a cool dull affair with high total cloud cover. There was no sun or breeze and the temperature only reached a high of 8 degrees. Enquiries as the match progressed showed that some anglers had caught from the off whilst others were struggling for a bite. This trait was bourn out at the weigh-in as Gary ran away with the win, bringing a magnificent winter weight of 198lbs. to the scales from peg 35. This gave him a massive cushion of 133lbs over second placed Mike who still managed a very creditable 65lbs. from Peg 29. Close behind in third spot was Lee in Peg 39 with his 59lbs.3ozs. Just outside the frame was Craig Swyer who managed 48lbs.11ozs. from Peg 28. At the other end of the list was Darren Mullins who failed to register a bite and packed up early to sit with Gary, probably gathering a few tips!! All in all a tremendous winning winter weight with excellent back ups down the order. Congratulations to Gary and all other placed participants.

Andy ran a small match made up of local anglers on the Moat pond on Sat.11th.Feb. The match was fished on the south bank low number pegs only.. The morning was bright with a little high cloud but plenty of pleasant sunshine There was a light westerly breeze that eased away during the afternoon to allow the temperature to reach a high of 12 degrees. A very pleasant late winter day but unfortunately the fishing turned out to be anything but good with Clive in Peg 1A only requiring 12lbs.2ozs. to take the win. Even this small weight gave him a comfortable cushion over second placed Paul in Peg 5 with his 4lbs.8ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to organiser Andy who scraped together a few bits for his 2lbs.10ozs from Peg 7. All in all a pleasant winter day for fishing was spoilt by the no show of the fish with only Clive managing to net a Carp. Lets hope that things improve soon with Spring just around the corner!

Karl`s winter league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.11th.Feb. The morning was fine and bright with some high light cloud but plenty of pleasant winter sunshine. There was a light westerly breeze that dropped off completely during the afternoon allowing the temperature to reach a comfortable 12 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times during it`s progress things looked a little on the slow side so it was a nice surprise to see Matty bring 61lbs.7ozs. to the scales to win the match from Peg 9. The runner-up with another good effort was Carl in the adjacent Peg 7 with his 49lbs.11ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Kai in Peg 30 who managed 28lbs.8ozs. Unlucky to finish outside the frame, falling only 5ozs. short was Tony Coddling who finished with 28lbs.4ozs. in Peg 14. Summing up it was a match of decent winning winter weights and along with last week most of the fish appeared to be concentrated at the car park end of the pond.

Bluebell A.C. continued their winter league on Lambwath pond on Sun.5th.Feb. After a overnight light frost the day was bright with blue skies and weak winter sunshine throughout. There was virtually no breeze but the high pressure system kept the temperature to 8 degrees. The few matches of late have been a bit of a struggle so we were unsure how it would go. A bit of a surprise was to come at the weigh-in as Colin a regular on these ponds ran out the victor with a good winter weight of 60lbs.2ozs. from Peg 7. Well done Colin. John directly opposite in Peg 30 was the runner up with his 40lbs.10ozs. another good return. Last place in the winners frame went to Paul who managed a more regular match weight of late managing 28lbs.11ozs. from Peg 25. Fourth place went to John Freeman with 16lbs.1ozs. from Peg 10. All in all a good winter match with better than average weights at the top of the order but falling away down the list More carp were caught today but the better weights came from the carpark end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy ran a small match on Lambwath pond, using only the high number pegs on the south bank of the pond on Sat.4th.Feb. The whole day experienced total cloud cover with a light westerly breeze and temperatures around the 9 degrees mark which made for comfortable conditions for this time of the year. Matches have been few and far between of late so how would it fish? Well at the weigh-in organiser Andy not for the first time took the win from Peg 30 with a weight of 36lbs.10ozs made up of one carp with the rest being skimmers and silver fish. This just about doubled the weight of runner up Paul in the adjacent Peg 28 who brought 18lbs.14ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to another Paul who managed 7lbs.11ozs. from Peg 21. Summing up it was a tough going winter match with best results achieved fishing the pole on light gear targeting the silver fish as Carp were noticeable by there absence. Congratulations to all placed participants.

"Big Ken`s" winter league resumed on Lambwath pond on Sun.29th.Jan. The morning was dry with plenty of high cloud and some blue sky that allowed a little weak winter sun to show. There was a light westerly breeze that increased to moderate/strong as the day moved on restricting the temperature to a cool 7 degrees. Recently the ponds have been covered in a thick layer of ice that has only thawed out completely over the last few days. So we wondered how it would fish? Well at the weigh-in It was Steve in Peg 10 who claimed the victory with a reasonable weight for the conditions of 33lbs. Andy in the adjacent Peg 8 was a close runner up managing 29lbs. Darren in Peg 27 is having a good run at the moment and finished in the winners frame again with his 27lbs.1oz. Big Ken was just outside the frame in fourth bringing 24lbs.14ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. Summing up, it was a close fought match at the top of the order with winter weights the order of the day.

Bluebell A.C. fished a winter league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.15th.Jan. After more overnight rain that did nothing for the underfoot conditions the morning was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a strong westerly wind that eased through the day to be non existent by the end of the match. The temperature was a cool 7degrees. Enquiries during the match appeared to suggest it was hard going. Results at the weigh-in confirmed this as Colin in Peg 9 claimed the win with a not too bad winter weight of 35lbs.8ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 22lbs. over runner-up Paul in Peg 11 who brought 13lbs.9ozs. to the scales, his catch included a 11lbs.carp so it would suggest the rest of the match was hard going for him. Last place in the winners frame went to 'Big' John in Peg 26 who scraped together a lowly 7lbs.5ozs. Summing up, It was a half decent winning winter weight but proved tough going for the rest. Congratulations to all winning participants and well done to all for sticking it out for little return.

Big Ken`s winter league continued on the Moat pond on Sun.15th.Jan. After yet more overnight rain the ground conditions remained very wet and soggy. The morning though was a mixture of sunshine and light cloud with a strong westerly wind that had dropped to zero by the end of the match. The temperature was around the 7 degree mark. Questions during the match asking how things were going were answered in the negative so it was no surprise to see that Gary in Peg 23 only required 19lbs.12ozs. to claim the victory. He was followed home by Darren in Peg1 who is having a good run on these ponds at the moment who managed 16lbs.9ozs. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second and third but it was Steve in Peg 12 who had to settle for the last place in the frame falling only 6ozs. adrift with his 16lbs.3ozs. How close was that? Summing up ,it was a close fought affair at the top of the order but a match of poor winter weights. and tough going for most. Congratulations to all placed participants and well done to all anglers for their persistence.

Lee ran a match on Lambwath pond on Mon.2nd.Jan. After a slight overnight frost the day was dry with a cloudless blue sky and all day winter sun. There was a light westerly breeze but it was cool with the temperature not getting above 7 degrees. The ponds have fished well of late so how would it go today. Well at the weigh-in it was Karl in Peg 16 who claimed the win with a good winter weight of 75lbs.7ozs. Runner up was Andy in Peg 28 with another good effort of 64lbs.3ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Mark in Peg 30 who managed 50lbs.7ozs. Garry Wadswath was unlucky to finish outside the frame falling only 3ozs. adrift of third with his 50lbs.5ozs. from Peg 12. Fifth place went to Darren Mullins who weighed 46lbs.11ozs. in Peg 27. All in all it was a very good competitive match with excellent winter weights so soon after the recent freeze up.

29/12/2022 - G. Dunham Pairs Match
Geoffrey held a Pairs match on the Lambwath/Caravan ponds with one of each pair spit between the two ponds. on Thur.29th.Dec. The morning was fairly bright with heavy stormy looking clouds moving through on a south westerly breeze. There was a little light rain showers during the morning but as the wind increased to strong around midday it remained dry but cold as the temperatures never rose higher than 7degrees, feeling even colder in the wind. Everything looked against good weights due to the weather of recent times. Taking this into consideration it was a surprise to see Ian in Peg 30 fall agonisingly short of the hundred pound mark with his 99lbs.11ozs. Less than one pound behind in second place was Paul in the adjacent Peg 28 who weighed 99lbs dead, how close was that?. Third place went to Gary who brought a creditable 63lbs to the scales from Peg 24. There was another decent weight or two on this pond but also several who struggled as happens more so in the winter. Summing up it was a match with some excellent winter weights. Please go to the Lambwath pond section of this report for the individual weights on that pond and the final winning pairs.

This is the Lambwath section report of Geoff`s Pairs match held on The Caravan and Lambwath pond on Thur.29th.Dec.
At the weigh-in on this pond it was Steve in Peg 14 who claimed the win with a excellent winter weight of 89lbs.11ozs. Darren was the runner-up with another good effort of 80lbs. dead from Peg 26. Last place in the frame went to Karl with his 58lbs from Peg 21.
The pairs winners were:
1st. Paul Appleyard (Caravan) & Karl Franks (Lambwath)
2nd. Gary Shepherd (Caravan) & Darren Mullins (Lambwath)
3rd. Geoff Dunham (Caravan) & Matty Parker (Lambwath)
The winners are decided on a points system and Ian and Steve the individual winners on their ponds will be disappointed to not feature in the winning pairs due to their partners having a difficult match. Also of note is that Matty and Geoff finished in third position but did not feature on their individual ponds. All in All a good winter match with some excellent weights. Congratulations to all winners and well done to Geoff for organising what was a successful match.

27/12/2022 - D. Mullins
Darren Mullins ran a match on Lambwath pond on Tues.27th.Dec. This was our first match since the big freeze up of a week ago. After a overnight frost the morning was fairly comfortable for this time of the year with high total cloud cover and a light southerly breeze. Things changed for the worse in the early afternoon as the wind increased bringing with it more persistent rain that continued until the end of the match. The temperature never rose any higher than 6 or 7 degrees. making the latter half of the match a miserable affair. At the weigh-in organiser Darren claimed the victory with a very good winter weight of 86lbs. dead from Peg 21. This gave him a very comfortable cushion of almost 50lbs. over second placed Colin in Peg 14 who brought 37lbs.6ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy in Peg 25 who managed 22lbs.2ozs. Summing up, it was a typical winter match with some anglers sat on fish but others with nothing in front of them, having to frustratingly sit and watch the lucky ones putting fish in there nets. Congratulations to the winners but well done to all for sticking it out in uncomfortable conditions.

Big Ken`s winter league continued on the Caravan pond on 11th.Dec.2022. After a very cold week with plenty of ice around the mornings early light cloud soon cleared to give a clear blue sky and winter sunshine for the rest of the day. There was no breeze but the temperature never rose above the 2 degree mark. Some anglers managed to find pockets of open water but others were struggling with water icing up as they fished. It was no surprise to see that the weigh-in was a short affair as only three anglers brought fish to the scales. The winner was Gary in Peg 35 who only needed 15lbs.10ozs. to claim top spot. The runner up spot went to Craig with his 10lbs.15ozs. from Peg 39. A lowly 4lbs. was very valuable to Darren in Peg 7 as it gave him the last place in the winners frame. Summing up, it was a tough day with ice and low temperatures causing plenty of problems for everyone, so its congratulations and well done to the winners and all other anglers for sticking it out in hard conditions for very little reward. Well done.

04/12/2022 - Bluebell A.C.
Bluebell A.C. fished a winter league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.4th.Dec. After more overnight rain that did nothing to improve the underfoot conditions the morning was cold with a moderate/strong easterly wind driving frequent heavy black clouds onto the coast from the nearby North Sea that produced sharp rain squalls that made the conditions very testing. The recorded temperature hovered around the six degree mark all day. With these and recent weather conditions it was no surprise to see a drop off in weights and John only needed 22lbs. in Peg 23 to take the win. He was followed home by Luke in the adjacent Peg 21 falling only 5lbs. short with his 17lbs. The last place in the winners frame went to Paul in Peg 7 who managed 14lbs. All in all a disappointing day for weather and weights but as the winter starts to take a grip we may have to accept these type of results more often. Well done to all the anglers for sticking it out to the end under testing conditions and congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s winter league resumed on Lambwath pond on Sun.27th.Nov. After more heavy overnight rain the morning was fine with high thin complete cloud cover. There was no breeze making for a flat water surface. Around lunchtime we experienced a couple of hours of weak but very welcome winter sunshine.The temperature rose to a very comfortable 12 degrees. It turned out to be a very good day all round as at the weigh-in Darren in Peg 15 claimed the win with a superb winter weight of 150lbs.13ozs. Big Ken took the runner up slot bringing 93lbs.8ozs. to the scales from Peg 21. Last place in the winners frame went to Dave in Peg 2 with his 70lbs.11ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth was Lee Coggin in Peg 24 who managed 64lbs. dead. Not far behind in fifth was Gary Shepherd who weighed 61lbs.11ozs. from Peg 10. Mike Lloyd was only 10ozs. adrift in sixth place with his 61lbs.2ozs. in Peg 27. All in all a excellent winter match with a tremendous winning weight with superb back up weights down the order. Well done to all anglers involved.

Andy`s now regular midweek match of mostly local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.17th.Nov. After predicted heavy overnight rain the day began in similar fashion. It was a murky miserable affair with heavy low black clouds accompanied by rain with some very heavy downpours driven by a strong easterly wind that made the recorded temperature of 11degrees appear rather optimistic if you were pegged in the wind. There was less rain during the afternoon but it remained cold and damp. The weather was responsible for a reduced turnout which was not a surprise. Of the members that did turn out it was Chris in Peg 13 who claimed the win with a good weight for the conditions of 74lbs.2ozs. He was followed home by Steve in Peg 25 with his 59lbs.2ozs. Third spot went to organiser Andy in Peg 15 who managed 55lbs.1oz. Just outside the winners frame in fourth was Clive Erett in Peg 30 who put a weight of 46lbs.6ozs. together. Summing up, it was a competitive match with good winter weights in terrible conditions. Well done to all anglers as everyone stuck it out to the bitter end.

Big Ken`s latest winter league match took place on the Caravan pond on Sun.13th.Nov. The whole day was a miserable affair with total cloud cover and thick mist, the breeze had moved into a much cooler south easterly direction feeling colder than the recorded 14 degrees. The
match was fished on the high number pegs on the south bank only. Nothing of note to report from the match so we go to the result and it was Andy in peg 24 who took the victory with a excellent weight of 117lbs.15ozs. Runner up was Garry with another good effort of 96lbs.13ozs. from Peg 28 Last place in the frame went to Lee in the adjacent Peg 29 who managed 72lbs.11ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth was Steve Conlan with his 64lbs.11ozs. from Peg 27. Colin Smith had to settle for fifth place in Peg 32 bringing 59lbs.15ozs. to the scales. Summing up ,it was another match of very good early winter weights no doubt due to the unseasonal warm weather. Congratulations to all placed participants.

12/11/2022 - Lee Coggin
Lee, a regular match man on these lakes brought a group of anglers to fish a match on our Lambwath lake on Sat.12th.Nov. The day was cloudy for the most part with a fresh south westerly breeze but despite the breeze the temperature held up at a mild 14 degrees. One incident of note was that Organiser Lee experienced a fish breaking two of the larger sections of his pole as well as loosing the top three sections in the same incident. A costly affair for Lee added to by not being in the winning money. A better day was had by Steve who took the win with a very good weight of 108lbs.7ozs. from Peg 2. The runner up slot went to Darren in Peg 26 who fell just short of the "ton" mark with his 99lbs.5ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Colin with his 70lbs.9ozs. from Peg 28. Mick Cook finished just outside the frame in fourth managing 57lbs. from Peg 11. Summing up, it was another very good early winter match with weights holding up well in the mild weather conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s mid-week match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.10th.Nov. The match was fished on the low number pegs on the R.H. side of the rope only. The day was cloudy for the most part driven on by a near gale force south westerly wind. It was very mild for the time of the year although it felt cooler in the strong wind than the recorded temperature of 15 degrees. I have no incidents to report from the match so we go to the results and it was Dave in Peg 15 who took the victory with a very good weight of 89lbs.3oz. Well done to Dave as I understand that this is his first win of these mid-week matches. Steve in Peg 8 who has had a run of good results recently took the runner up slot with another good effort with his 79lbs.14ozs. Organiser Andy had to settle for third place this week managing 64lbs.8ozs. from Peg 10 Just outside the winners frame was Tim Pecheur in Peg 12 with another good winter weight of 61lbs.13ozs. Summing up it was a very competitive match with a series of excellent winter weights despite the wind making for difficult conditions. The continued mild weather appears to be responsible for the continued good early winter weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s now familiar midweek match of mainly local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.3rd.Oct. The morning was overcast but calm and mild with no wind. After midday the clouds broke up to give a afternoon of warm sunshine allowing the temperature to reach a high of 13 degrees on the thermometer although it felt several degrees higher in the sunshine with no breeze. After a quite and steady match it was Clive who won the match from Peg 13, bringing a weight of 49lbs.4ozs. to the scales. Very well done to Clive as I believe that this is his first win of the season in these matches and the A.A.C.`s summer league combined. He also well and truly christened his new pole. Regular frame member Andy took the runner-up slot with his 26lbs.3ozs. from Peg 21. Only 2lbs. further back was Steve in Peg 15 who had to settle for third place managing 24lbs.4ozs. All in all a unspectacular match with much reduced weights from what we are used to but as the winter moves in it is probably something we will have to get used to. Well done to all placed participants.

The first of Big Ken`s winter league matches on these ponds took place on Sun.30th.Oct. The morning was cloudy with a fresh southerly breeze that increased during the early afternoon, breaking up the cloud to give a short burst of sunshine that soon disappeared as heavy clouds arrived to give a short sharp downpour. It remained mild as the temperature reached 16 degrees. Nothing of note took place during the match and at the weigh-in it was Colin in Peg 15 who stole the show with a very good winter weight of 110lbs.15ozs. Craig took the runner-up spot with his 101lbs.6ozs. from Peg 21. Last place in the winners frame went to Steve in Peg 8 who managed 88lbs.13ozs. Close scrutiny of the scales in the dark was required to separate 3rd. from 4th. but it was Gary Briggs who had to settle for the lower position falling only 13ozs. short, bringing 87lbs.1oz. to the scales from Peg 3. Summing up it was a very competitive match with weights more associated with summer than the end of Oct. The mild weather and lack of frosts will explain the continued high weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s usual mid-week match of mainly local anglers moved to Sat.29th Oct and was fished on Lambwath pond. The morning was a miserable affair with complete cloud cover giving steady rain for most of the morning, this was accompanied by a fresh south easterly breeze which made for a uncomfortable start to the match. Things improved after mid-day as the cloud cleared and the rain stopped, the breeze also eased which allowed the temperature to rise to a cool 14 degrees. I did not see much of proceedings during the match due to the weather but at the weigh-in it was Eddie in Peg 10 who claimed the victory with a good weight of 87lbs.12ozs. Andy was again in the winners frame this time in the runner up slot bringing 68lbs.5ozs. to the scales from Peg 21. Third spot went to Chris in Peg 1 who managed 66lbs.9ozs. Paul Baxter was just outside the frame in fourth with his 43lbs.10ozs. from Peg 28. Summing up it was a good match with very good weights for the end of October in miserable conditions during the first half of the match. Well done to all participants.

23/10/2022 - Woldsmen A.C.
Members of Woldsmen A.C. travelled from Driffield to fish a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.23rd.Oct. The morning was calm and mild with cloud cover and a light south westerly breeze to start the match off. But then around 11am the threatened rain arrived that gave heavy downpours until 2pm. making for miserable conditions for all. After the rain things improved to give some sunshine and decent conditions to carry out the weigh-in which showed that not for the first time by any means on these ponds it was Colin who took the win with a good weight for the time of the year with 87lbs.3ozs. from Peg 2. The runner up slot went to "rider" Shane who managed 50lbs.12ozs. from Peg 13. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to determine second and third but it was Andy in Peg 30 who had to settle for the "bronze medal" slot falling only 1lb.short with his 49lbs.12ozs. Unlucky Andy! Just outside the frame in fourth was Steven (Syd) Bates who weighed 43lbs. dead. All in all it was a match of decent weights for the end of October fished in miserable wet conditions. Well done to all for sticking it out and congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s now regular midweek match took place on Lambwath lake on Thur.20th.Oct. After overnight rain the morning was very murky with total low cloud cover with mist and steady rain on and off throughout the day, the exception was a twenty minuet torrential downpour around midday. There was also a light south easterly breeze but despite the conditions the temperature achieved a comfortable 15 degrees. The match had no incidents to report so we go to the result and it was Paul in Peg 30 who claimed the victory with a good weight of 76lbs.11ozs. This gave him a 25lbs cushion over runner-up Phil in the adjacent Peg 28 who brought 51lbs.15ozs. to the scales. Organiser Andy maintained his habit of finishing in the winners frame but had to settle for third place today with his 46lbs.3ozs. from Peg 24. Steve Parker finished just outside the frame in fourth managing 35lbs.10ozs. from Peg 15. Summing up it was a good match with decent weights in miserable conditions. Well done to all anglers for sitting it out in the wet, miserable conditions.

The A.A.C. fished their final summer league match of the season on the Caravan pond on Sat.15th.Oct. After overnight rain had moved away the morning was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a freshening south easterly wind that became strong before easing during the afternoon to allow the temperature to reach a high of 16 degrees. The match was fished on the north bank low number pegs only and at the weigh-in it was Chris in Peg 9 who took the final honours with a weight of 54lbs.7ozs. The runner-up spot went to Darren who managed 41lbs.10ozs. from the adjacent Peg 8. It was nice to see Graham in the lame Peg 2 claim the last place in the winners frame with his 18lbs.6ozs. I believe this is the first time Graham has featured in the first three this season, so well done to him. Apologies to Graham if I am doing him a disservice. Summing up, it was a match with a couple of not bad weights at the top of the order which fell away badly down the list. Well done to all anglers throughout the season and congratulations to all placed participants in this last match.

15/10/2022 - Hull Angling
Geoffrey brought the members of Hull Angling club to fish a match on the Moat pond on Sat.15th Oct. After overnight rain the morning was a mixture of cloud and sunshine and a strong south westerly wind. After mid-day the cloud began to break up and the wind eased as the afternoon wore on allowing the temperature to achieve a high of 16 degrees. I have no information of any interesting happenings during the match so we will go to the weigh-in and finally it was leader Geoffrey who at last lived up to his self acclaim by taking the victory with a good effort of 72lbs.8ozs. from Peg 4. Well done Geoff! This gave him a cushion of 22lbs. over runner -up Mark who managed 50lbs.2ozs. from Peg 23. Mark may have been closer if he had not knocked off for his dinner at lunch time. Last place in the winners frame went to Dave, a legend of many years in the Hull and district angling circles with his 31lbs.6ozs. All in all a match of decent weights at the top of the order but falling away after that down the list. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s midweek match of local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.13th.Oct. The whole day had cloudless blue skies and warm sunshine with no breeze allowing the temperature to achieve a high of 17 degrees, outstanding weather for this time of the year. A possible down side to these conditions was that the water surface was flat calm with no ripple so the question was how would it fish? Well we should not have worried as at the weigh-in Tim in Peg 13 who his establishing himself in the winners frame of these matches claimed the victory with a very good weight of 88lbs.5ozs. Well done Tim !. Andy another regular in these reports was the runner up falling only 10ozs. short of the win with his 87lbs.12ozs. from peg 15. Last place in the frame went to Eddie in Peg 26 managing 79lbs. dead. Just outside the frame in forth was Steve Parker in Peg 21 only 6ozs. away weighing 78lbs.11ozs. All in all a very close run match with very good weights for mid October. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The last of Big Ken`s summer league matches on our ponds took place on Sun.9th.Oct. The morning was cloudless and sunny but with a strong south westerly wind that became very cloudy after lunch time dropping the temperature that had reached a high of 18 degrees in sheltered areas during the morning. Recent weights have been falling so how would it go today. Well it was "rider" Dave in Peg 30 who claimed the victory with a good effort of 112lbs.9ozs. Runner-up in the adjacent Peg 28 was Steve who managed 97lbs.9ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Willy in Peg 9 with his 82lbs. Colin Smith in Peg 26 was only 2lbs. back with his 79lbs.15ozs. to finish fourth. Even closer in fifth was Big Ken who had to settle for fifth place falling only 8ozs. adrift of the higher placing bringing 79lbs.8ozs. to the scales from Peg 15. Summing up, it was another close run match of very good weights down the order from this group of anglers who have had great success on these ponds. Well done to all involved throughout the season.

Andy`s mid week match of mainly local anglers took place on the Moat pond on Thur.6th.Oct. After a cold but not frosty night, the morning was bright with plenty of sunshine and a south westerly breeze that increased to strong into the afternoon. The threatened showers held off with only a little rain towards the end of the match. Despite the conditions the temperature reached a surprising high of 18 degrees in sheltered areas. Enquires during the match appeared to show it was hard going with few fish coming to the nets around the whole pond. This was proved to be correct at the weigh-in as Eddie in Peg 23 only required 17lbs.3ozs. to take the win. Despite the low winning weight I`m sure Eddie won`t mind as I think this is his first victory in these matches. Well done Eddie and apologies if that information is incorrect. Paul in Peg 19 was in the runner up slot falling only 3ozs. short of victory bringing 17lbs.1oz. to the scales. How close was that? Unlucky Paul. Organiser Andy had to settle for the last place in the winners frame this week with his 16lbs.9ozs. from Peg 12. Summing up, It was very close at the top of the order but with a set of very disappointing weights. Lets hope this is not a sign of things to come so early in the Autumn.

Bluebell A.C. fished a club league match on the Moat pond on Sun.2nd.Oct. The morning gave promise of a lovely day to come with bright clear blue skies with not a cloud in sight. There was a light westerly breeze that increased a little during the day but it had no effect on the temperature that achieved a high of 19 degrees. Not bad for early October! Very comfortable weather for fishing but how did the results go? Well at the weigh-in it was Keith in Peg 11 who ran away with the win with a very good effort of 97lbs.8ozs. This gave him a big cushion of 56lbs. over runner-up Paul in Peg 7 who brought 41lbs.4ozs. to the scales. Last place in the winners frame went to Dave with his 36lbs.1oz. from Peg 3. Summing up the match, it was a very good winning weight for the pond but after that the weights fell away down the order to less than hoped for levels. Still, we congratulate all placed participants. Well done all.

The latest round of Big Ken`s summer league took place on Lambwath pond on 2nd.Oct.2022. The morning saw cloudless blue skies with a light westerly breeze that increased a little as the day wore on but did little to spoil the superb weather as the temperature reached a excellent 19 degrees. Nothing of note to report from the match so we go to the result and it was Big Ken himself who claimed a well deserved win with a excellent weight of 148lbs. from Peg 21. He was followed home with another good effort from Willy in Peg 15 who weighed 136lbs. Last place in the winners frame went " Iv`e got nowt Colin" who managed 120lbs.8ozs. from Peg 2.

Also breaking the 100lbs. mark was Steve Conlan in Peg 12 who brought 100lbs.3ozs. to the scales. Summing up, it was another good match of excellent weights from this group of anglers, six of who topped the 100lbs. mark once again. Well done to all participants.

John brought a group of anglers to fish a non league match on the Moat pond on Sat.1st.Oct. After heavy overnight rain the first day of the month was bright with high fast moving clouds in front of a increasingly strong westerly wind that`s strength peaked around midday before easing during the afternoon. the temperature still managed to reach a high of 18 degrees. The strong wind was causing some problems for pole users, despite this Neil in Peg 8 won the match using this method with maggot on the hook but lost some fish after breaking a section of his pole which stopped him adding sections to his pole after hooking a fish. Despite this his weight of 41lbs.14ozs. was enough to claim the win. Organiser John took the runner up slot with 33lbs.12ozs. from Peg 18. Last but not least was Kay in Peg 24 who fell less than one pounds short of second place with her 33lbs. dead. Well done girl !. All in all a close match at the top of the order but with weights less than hoped for. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The A.A.C. held their latest league match on Lambwath pond on Sat 1st Oct. The morning was bright with a mixture of sunshine and fast moving clouds being driven by a westerly wind that became very strong around the middle of the day before easing gradually during the afternoon. Despite the wind the temperature achieved a comfortable high of 18 degrees in sheltered areas. The conditions would make presentation difficult especially using a pole but the weigh-in gave us some decent weights as Steve in Peg 12 took the honours with a good effort of 92lbs. Only one pound adrift was Phil who had drawn the golden peg but fell just short of claiming the £100 up for grabs with his 91lbs. from Peg 21. Unlucky Phil!! Keeping it in the family in third spot was Darren who after close scrutiny of the scales had to settle for the lower position falling agonisingly 13ozs. short of second with his 90lbs.13ozs. Just outside the frame was Melvyn Wagstaff With his 71lbs. from Peg 11. All in all a decent set of weights at the top of the order in difficult conditions.

Andy`s midweek match of local anglers took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.29th.Sept. The morning was a mixture of sun and rain clouds blown ashore by a light northerly breeze that freshened as the day wore on. The rain held off until a fairly heavy downpour occurred in the early afternoon after which things improved to give warm sunshine for the rest of the day as the temperature reached a high of 14 degrees. No incidents to report from the match so we go to the result and yet again it was organiser Andy who claimed the victory with a decent weight of 80lbs.13ozs. from Peg 14. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 46lbs. over runner-up Tim in Peg 28 who managed 34lbs.6ozs. Third place went to Terry in Peg 13 who I believe finished in the winners frame for only the second time in his fishing career bringing 27lbs. to the scales. Terry is always there and never complains. Well done Terry. Summing up, the match was very similar to last Sunday`s match on this pond with a decent winning weight but falling away badly down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

25/09/2022 - Fish Trades
Fish Trades fished a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.25th.Sept. Several members were absent so the match was fished on the high number pegs on the south bank only. The early morning was pleasantly warm with a mixture of sunshine and high thin cloud with a vey light north westerly breeze. During the morning the breeze increased to fresh and the cloud became a total cover which had the effect of restricting the temperature to a cool 15 degrees feeling even colder in the wind. I have no information of any interesting happenings during the match so we will go to the result and it was Neil in Peg 26 who claimed the victory with a decent weight of 83lbs.12ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 53lbs. over second placed Geoff in the adjacent Peg 25 who managed 30lbs.11ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to John in Peg 30 with his 28lbs. dead. Summing up, the match was disappointing with a decent winning weight that fell away badly going down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

On Sun.25th.Sept. the Moat pond was the venue for Big Ken`s summer league match. The morning was a mix of high cloud and sunshine with a very light north westerly breeze. As the day progressed the breeze freshened and the cloud increased to give total cover for the rest of the day. These conditions held the temperature down to a cool 15 degrees that felt even colder if exposed to the wind. Looking over the match a couple of times the fish appeared to be coming to the nets steadily. At the weigh-in Mike in Peg 27produced a excellent weight for this pond of 122lbs.15ozs. Well done Mike.! Lee at the other end of the pond in Peg 11 took the runner up spot with his 90lbs.1oz. Last place in the winners frame went to Willy in Peg 4 who weighed 82lbs.14ozs. Colin Smith was just outside the frame in fourth place managing 73lbs.12ozs. from Peg 30. Most of Col`s fish were caught in the last 2 hours of the match. Summing up, it was a decent match with a set of good weights. Well done to all placed anglers.

Andy`s midweek match was held on Lambwath pond on Thur.22nd.Sept. The day was a mixture of sunshine and high clouds with a strong westerly wind. Despite the wind the temperature reached a comfortable 15 degrees. The match apparently progressed without any notable incident and at the weigh-in it was Andy once again who finished in top spot. How many times have I wrote this? with a excellent effort bringing 149lbs.7ozs. to the scales from Peg 9. Tim was again in the frame, this time in the runner up slot managing 92lbs.13ozs. from Peg 23. Phil in Peg 29 took third place with his 85lbs. 7ozs. Just outside the winners frame in fourth place was Steve Parker in Peg 14 who weighed 80lbs.14ozs. Fifth place went to Eddie Reynolds in Peg 12 with a good back up weight of 73lbs.5ozs.

Big Ken held a non league match on the Caravan pond on Sun.19th.Sept. The day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a fresh to moderate north westerly wind that held temperatures down to a cool 13 degrees. Nothing of note occurred during the match so we go to the result which was a bit of a surprise as it was Big Ken himself who was the victor today with a excellent weight of 166lbs.8ozs. from Peg 28. This is Ken`s first win on these ponds for some time, well done. Steve took the runner up slot after yesterday win with his 139lbs.5ozs. from Peg 39. Colin in Peg 30 was in third place managing 130lbs.4ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth was Tom Gutherless a new comer to the group who produced 117lbs.2ozs. from Peg 33. Also worth a mention is Craig Swyers in fifth position weighing 98lbs.6ozs. from Peg 35. and Andy Raper in Peg 24 who brought 96lbs.1oz. to the scales. Summing up, it was a excellent match with the usual set of excellent weights from this group of anglers. Well done to all involved.

Big Ken`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.18th.Sept. The day was bright but suffered complete cloud cover along with a moderately strong north westerly wind that held the temperature down to a cool 14 degrees, conditions that we have not experienced for a long time, so how would it fish? We should not have bothered as this group of anglers again produced a series of excellent weights. Top spot went to Steve in Peg 6 who produced a superb weight of 164lbs.3ozs. He was followed home by Colin with his 153lbs.14ozs. from Peg 2. Newcomer to the group Dave did very well to claim the last place in the winners frame amongst this group of anglers bringing 135lbs. to the scales from Peg 28. More excellent weights were obtained down the order that would have won many a match. Darren Mullins was in fourth place managing 125lbs.13ozs. from Peg 14. 5th place went to Lee Coggin in Peg 26 with his 125lbs.1oz. and Willy Eyre had to settle for sixth place with a weight of 122lbs.5ozs. All all another excellent match of tremendous weights from this group of anglers. Well done to all participants.

17/09/2022 - Cowden H.P.
Residents of Cowden Holiday Park held a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.17th.Sept. The day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a moderate cool north westerly wind. The cloud increased during the afternoon and aided by the wind restricted the temperature to a cool 14 degrees. The match was completed without any incidents and at the weigh-in it was Martin a regular pleasure angler on this pond who was the victor falling just short of the ton mark with his 96lbs.1oz. from Peg 1. The runner-up spot went to Tony at the other end of the pond in Peg 15 who brought 78lbs.1oz. to the scales apparently loosing several fish in the `brambles`. Last place in the frame went to Tim who features fairly regularly in these reports due to fishing the mid-week matches on these ponds. He again did well managing 70lbs.2ozs. from Peg 29. Just outside the top three was Andy Wiggington in Peg 21 who weighed 51lbs.15ozs. from Peg 21. All in all a good steady match with average weights for the time of the year. Well done to all placed participants.

A.A.C. summer league continued on the Moat pond on Sat.17th.Sept. The day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud that increased during the afternoon. There was a moderately strong north westerly wind that made for a definite autumnal feeling that restricted the temperature to 14 degrees. I have no details of the match so we go to the results, and once again it was that man Andy who claimed the win with a weight of 59lbs.8ozs. from Peg 6. Second place went to Darren in Peg 2 with his 39lbs.9ozs. Last place in the frame went to Melvyn in Peg 23 who brought 37lbs.3ozs. to the scales. Summing up it was a very steady match of less than hoped for weights with Andy again leading the way!! Come on lads lets see some new names in the winners frame, you can do it. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s weekly mid week match of mainly local anglers took place on the Moat pond on Thur.15th.Sept. The day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a freshening northerly breeze that held temperatures to a cooler than of late 15 degrees, The match was completed without any notable occasions so we will go to the result. It was Andy once again a regular member of these reports who took the honours with a good weight of 76lbs.1oz. from Peg 23. For the second match in a row Clive in Peg 10 was in the winners frame, claiming the runner up slot finishing only 2lbs. short of the win with a very good return of 74lbs.1oz. Last place in the frame went to Paul in Peg 29 with his 52lbs.13ozs. Tim Pecheur in Peg 21 had to settle for fourth place after close scrutiny of the scales revealed he was only 8ozs.adrift of third with his 52lbs.6ozs. All in all a competitive match of decent weights so well done to all placed participants.

11/09/2022 - Falcon A.C.
Falcon A. C. held a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.11th.Sept. The morning was overcast with low dark clouds and a whisper of a south easterly breeze. Around midday the clouds broke up a little as the breeze increased slightly to allow the sun to break through briefly and allow the temperature to reach a comfortable 19 degrees. Observations as the match progressed appeared to suggest that the fishing was on the slow side. At the weigh-in it was Lee in Peg 28 who claimed the win with 87lbs.9ozs. He was followed home by John in the adjacent Peg 30 who brought 73lbs. to the scales. Only 5lbs. further back was Mark with his 68lbs. from Peg 8. Extreme care had to be taken to separate 3rd. from 4th. but Andy Ostler had to settle for the lower position just outside the winners frame falling just 1oz. short weighing 67lbs.15ozs. from Peg 12. All in all a steady match with less than hoped for weights. It was never the less a competitive affair with several anglers in with a chance of the win up to the end. Congratulations to all participants.

Andy`s now regular midweek match of mainly local anglers was held on Lambwath pond on Thur. 8th. Sept. The overnight rain continued throughout the morning making the start of the match a rather wet affair, luckily there was little or no breeze to drive the rain and the temperature was a comfortable 14degrees. After lunch time the cloud cleared sufficiently to allow some very warm sunshine to break through and lift the temperature to a high 19 degrees. Seeing previous results of these matches it will be no surprise to see that organiser Andy again took the victory in Peg 15 with a excellent weight of 139lbs.7ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 63lbs. over second placed Chris who had a very nice net of predominately Skimmers and Bream weighing 76lbs.3ozs from Peg 27. Last place in the winners frame went to Clive, a new name to the winners list in Peg 21 with his 34lbs.1oz. Summing up, It was a match of good weights at the top of the order that fell away down the list. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The Caravan pond was the venue for Big Ken`s continued summer league programme on Sun.4th.Sept. The morning was bright but with a high thin cloud cover along with a fresh south easterly breeze. Around midday the cloud broke up to give some warm sunshine with the temperature climbing to a warm 22 degrees. The water levels on this pond are low but it did not appear to deter the fish as at the weigh-in Mike in Peg 34 came out victorious with a excellent weight of 154lbs.7ozs. He was followed home closely by Willy in Peg 24 who would expect to win many a match with his 148lbs.14ozs. Third place went to Lee with another great effort managing 139lbs.2ozs. from Peg 29. Excellent weights were recorded down the order as Steve Conlon finished just outside the winners frame with 129lbs.14ozs. from Peg 32. Big Ken also broke the 100lbs.mark with 101lbs 4ozs. to finish in 5th place in Peg 2. It was close between him and Colin Smith but Colin had to settle for six position, only 3ozs. adrift with his 101lbs.1oz. Summing up, it was a very good match with excellent weights down the order, a thing this group of anglers do regularly on these ponds. Well done to all anglers for a excellent match.

04/09/2022 - Post Office A.C.
Post Office A.C. arrived to fish a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun 4th Sept. The morning was again bright but there was a high thin cloud cover that reduced the effect of the sun, although it remained warm. Around lunch time the cloud dispersed somewhat to allow the sun to break through and lift the temperature to 22 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed I got the impression that things were a little on the slow side, but brief views can be deceptive so lets wait for the results. At the weigh-in Terry in Peg 27 took the honours with a decent weight of 96lbs.14ozs. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 30lbs. over second placed Barry who managed 60lbs.1oz. from Peg 13. Graham in the adjacent Peg 14 claimed the last place in the winners frame with his 54lbs.4ozs. Secretary Colin Marker finished in fourth position with his 47lbs.1oz. from Peg 11. All in all a steady match with possibly less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

A.A.C. continued their summer league programme on the Caravan pond on Sat.3rd.Sept. The match was fished on the low number pegs only, on the north bank (caravan site side) The morning was again bright but with a high thin cloud cover that lessened the effect of the sun. There was also a strongish onshore easterly wind that blew straight down the pond putting a considerable ripple on the water surface. Around midday the high cloud moved off allowing the sun to emerge and raise the temperature to a high of 22 degrees I have no reports of interesting incidents during the match so we go to the result. It was Chris in Peg 7 who claimed the victory with his 65lbs.4ozs. from Peg 7. He was followed home in second by Paul in Peg 2 who managed 41lbs.12ozs. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but it was Pete in Peg 8 who had to settle for the last place in the winners frame only 14ozs. adrift of second bringing 40lbs.14ozs. to the scales. summing up it was a match of less than hoped for weights with the top weights coming from the wind effected west end of the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy`s group of local anglers held their midweek match on the Caravan pond on Thur.1st.Sept. The morning like so many others this summer was bright and sunny with some high white clouds. There was a moderate north easterly breeze blowing down the pond creating a very good ripple on the water surface. Despite the breeze the temperature achieved a high of 20 degrees. Due to the hot dry summer the water levels on this pond are probably at their lowest ever level, despite this the pond has fished well of late so how would it go today. Well at the weigh-in it was Andy, a regular name in these reports who claimed the win with his 76lbs.3ozs. from Peg 2. The runner up spot went to Tony in Peg 34 who brought 58lbs.4ozs.to the scales. At this point the weights dropped off as Phil took the last place in the winners frame with 29lbs.12ozs. from Peg 5. Further weights down the order finished in the low double figure numbers. Summing up it was a match of disappointing weights for most. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The second leg of Andy`s double header took place on the Moat pond on Sun.28th.Aug. The first leg took place yesterday on Lambwath pond, see yesterday`s report! The tournament was in aid of charity but I am not aware of how the outright winners were decided after the combined results. The morning was bright with a mixture of cloud and sunshine along with a fresh easterly breeze. It was a little cooler than yesterday but the thermometer reached a comfortable high of 20 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times the fish appeared to be coming to the nets on a steady basis. At the weigh-in it was Andy who finished second yesterday who claimed the honours today with his 72lbs.13ozs. from Peg 23. The runner up spot went to Steve who is having a good run of late managing 66lbs.10ozs. from Peg 19. Paul took the last place in the winners frame after finishing in the same position yesterday, he fished Peg 1 and weighed 41lbs.2ozs. Looking at both match results it would suggest that Andy and Paul who finish in the top three in both matches would contest the overall winners. All in all a decent match of good weights. Congratulations to the eventual winners.

Tightliners arrived to fish a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.28th.Aug. The day was a mixture of sunshine and high clouds with a fresh easterly breeze, this had very little effect on the pond and the water surface was pretty much flat, maybe not the best conditions for big weights. The temperature reached a comfortable high of 20 degrees. The match was incident free and at the weigh-in Kevin came out tops with a good effort of 111lbs.4ozs. from Peg 6. Namesake Ian, 'no relation' followed him home in the runner up slot with his good net of 101lbs.14ozs. from Peg 21. Last place in the winners frame went to John in Peg 28 who brought 66lbs.3ozs. to the scales Summing up, it was a decent match with good winning weights for the warm, flat conditions.

The Tench pond was a unusual venue for Big Ken`s summer league match on Sun.28th.Aug. The day was a mixture of sunshine and high white clouds. There was a light to fresh North Easterly breeze that restricted the temperature to a high of 20 degrees. I have no information on the details of the match due to the confines of this small pond other than the final result and at the weigh-in it was Willy who took the win with a excellent weight of 92lbs.13ozs. from Peg 9. I understand his net of fish was made up of 37lbs. of Rudd and 56lbs. of Carp. He was followed home by Lee in the adjacent Peg 10 who managed 67lbs.9ozs. Big Ken himself was in third place with his 37lbs.14ozs. Not far behind was Steve Conlan in Peg 6 with a weight of 33lbs.15ozs. All in all a decent match for this small pond with a very good winning weight for Willy with decent back up weights down the order. congratulations to all placed participants.

The first round of Andy`s double header took part on Lambwath pond on Sat.27th.Aug. the second round takes place tomorrow on the Moat Pond. The morning was bright and sunny with some bits of high white cloud around but nothing of concern. There was a light to moderate north east breeze that had very little effect on this sheltered pond allowing the temperature to reach a warm high of 22 degrees. The onshore breeze did put a little ripple on the water surface at the far end of the pond that may in theory help the anglers pegged at that end. This proved to be the case as at the weigh-in it was Paul in Peg 13 who took the win with a tremendous effort, bringing 163lbs.6ozs.to the scales. He was followed home closely by Andy with another great effort with his 150lbs.10ozs. in Peg 22. Last place in the winners frame went to Paul in Peg 24 with his 62lbs.10ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Phil Thompson in Peg 29 who managed 58lbs.15ozs. All in all a good match with excellent weights at the top of the order. Well done to all anglers in the warm conditions. Let`s see what tomorrow brings.!

Big Ken`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.21st.Aug. The morning was dry and bright with a mixture of sunshine and patches of high white cloud moving through in front of a moderate south westerly breeze. It was again warm with the thermometer registering a high of 24 degrees. The fishing appeared a little on the slow side during the first half of the match but picked up during the later stages. At the weigh-in it was new comer Dave who showed the regulars the way home with a excellent weight of 165lbs. dead from Peg 2. The runner up slot went to Steve in Peg 25 with his 140lbs.11ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Willy who finished only 8lbs. adrift of second place managing 132lbs.6ozs. from Peg 6. Mark Colman in fourth place also broke the 100lbs.mark from Peg 28 with another good effort, weighing 120lbs. All in all.

Aldbrough Angling Club continued their summer league matches on Lambwath pond on Sat.20th.Aug. The morning was dry and bright with clusters of high white fast moving cloud driven by a strong westerly wind. Despite the wind it remained very warm as the temperature achieved a high of 25 degrees. The wind was responsible for putting a strong ripple on the water surface which suggested possible better catching conditions than the flat surface conditions we have experienced lately. We will see!. At the weigh-in it was Melvyn who claimed the victory with a good effort bringing 119lbs. to the scales from Peg 10. This gave him a cushion of 34lbs. over second placed Peter in Peg 30 who managed 85lbs.3ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy, a regular in these reports who managed 73lbs.3ozs. from Peg 25. Summing up, it was a good match with decent weights down the order.

Patrington Haven A.C. held a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.14th.Aug. The morning was again bright and warm with some high thin cloud that lessened the effect of the sun for a while until it burned off. There was a light onshore breeze from a northerly direction that had very little effect on the heat on this sheltered pond. Around mid-day a sea fret moved in that only covered a narrow strip on the cliff top but did reduce the severity of the sun but not the temperature that reached a high of 24 degrees. After a uneventful match it was Liam in Peg 10 who claimed the win with his 79lbs.7ozs. The runner up spot went to Richard in Peg 7 who managed 59lbs.3ozs. Third and final place in the winners frame went to Peter who brought 42lbs.4ozs. to the scales from Peg 15.

Hessle Ex- Sevicemen held a club match on the Moat pond on Sun.14th.Aug. The morning was again bright and warm with patchy high thin white clouds. There was a light northerly breeze that had little effect on the conditions although a sea fret rolled in around mid-day forming a thin strip of mist along the coast. This had the effect of blotting out some of the suns strength but the temperature remained high at around 24 degrees. I have no information of any interesting events to report on from the match so we now go to the results and it was John in Peg 23 who claimed the victory with a good effort bringing 89lbs. to the scales. This gave him a comfortable cushion of almost 40lbs. over second placed Peter who managed 50lbs.8ozs, from Peg 2. Last place in the winners frame went to Adrian in Peg 30 with his weight of 31lbs.

The morning was in line with recent days being bright and sunny from the off with a light to fresh north easterly breeze. It remained very warm as the temperature rose to a high of 23 degrees. Glancing over the match whilst in progress it appeared that fish were coming to the net steadily. At the weigh-in it was Chris again who claimed top spot with a good weight of 131lbs. from Peg 15, the same peg he drew and won from just last Thursday. It seems the 13th of the month is not unlucky for some.! The runner up place went to Andy, a regular member of these reports who brought 111lbs.10ozs. to the scales from the unfancied Peg 24. Guest Wayne claimed third position falling
agonizingly short of breaking the 100lbs. mark with his 99lbs.1oz. from Peg 10. Unluckily just outside the winners frame was Paul Baxter who managed 94lbs.10ozs. in Peg 21. A special mention for "silver king Gary Fairfield" who had a excellent catch of 72lbs.8ozs. from Peg 30 fishing rod and float close in. All in all a good match with decent weights down the list. Congratulations to all placed participants.

11/08/2022 - A. Hold
Andy brought his now weekly group of local anglers to fish their midweek match on Lambwath pond on Wed.11th.Aug. The day was as forecast with pretty much cloudless skies and bright sunshine from the off. There was a very light south easterly breeze that freshened as the day wore on. This had very little effect as this pond is sheltered from onshore winds which allowed the temperature to climb to a warm 25 degrees. I am not aware of any incidents of note during the match, so to the result. At the weigh-in it was Chris in Peg 15 who took the honours bringing 87lbs.dead to the scales. Following him home from Peg 1 was organiser Andy who had a predominantly all Bream catch of 76lbs.15ozs. most of the Bream were in the 3 to 5lbs.bracket, a nice net of fish! Dave claimed the last place in the winners frame managing 48lbs.15ozs. from Peg 27. Summing up, it was a decent match considering the hot conditions and the flat water surface. Congratulations to all placed participants.

07/08/2022 - K. Swyers
"Big Ken`s" summer league resumed on Lambwath pond on Sun.7th.Aug. The morning was bright with high thin cloud and some weak sunshine. There was a light westerly breeze that increased to strong around mid-day, this broke up the cloud allowing the full power of the sun to lift the temperature to a warm 25 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times there appeared to be plenty of fish coming to the nets. This proved the case at the weigh-in with Steve in Peg 2 claiming the win with a excellent catch of 171lbs.14ozs. He was followed home by Lee with 149lbs.10ozs from Peg 26. How close though was the challenge of Willy in the adjacent Peg 24 who had to settle for third place only 1oz.!! adrift with 149lbs.9ozs. Just outside the winners frame in fourth was Chris Fisher who managed 132lbs.1oz. from Peg 28. Fifth spot went to Col. Smith in Peg 12 with his 116lbs.12ozs. Darren Mullins finished in sixth place weighing 100lbs.11ozs. from Peg 30. All in all a superb match of excellent weights with the first six anglers breaking the 100lbs.mark. What went wrong as two weeks ago this group had seven anglers who beat this mark? Very well done to all the participants in this match.

06/08/2022 - County Angling
County Angling held a club league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.6th.Aug. The day was bright and warm with a mixture of clouds and sunshine. The breeze was originally from a westerly direction but around mid-day it veered to a south easterly. The temperature reached a high of 21 degrees in sheltered areas but felt cooler in the path of the afternoon onshore breeze. Nothing of note to report from the match so straight to the result and at the weigh-in it was John in Peg 18 who went one place better than his second place finish in this clubs earlier match here bringing 101lbs. to the scales. Tony in Peg 9 took the runner up position with his 79lbs. Last place in the winners frame went to Peter who managed 56lbs. from Peg 6. Summing up it was a steady rather than spectacular match with less than expected weights as only the winner broke the 100lb. mark. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The A.A.C. continued their summer league programme on the Moat pond on Sat.6th.Aug. The morning was bright with a mixture of high thin cloud and sunshine with a light westerly breeze that veered to a cooler south easterly direction around the middle of the day. It was warm in sheltered areas but felt much cooler in the onshore breeze during the afternoon although the thermometer registered a high of 20 degrees. At the weigh-in it was Steve who continued his recent very good run of form to take the victory with his 57lbs.01oz. from Peg 7. He was followed home by Andy another regular in these reports who brought 44lbs.13ozs. to the scales from Peg 21. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but it was Paul in Peg 17 who had to settle for third falling only just over 1lb.short of the higher position. All in all a good competitive match at the top of the order with decent weights. Well done to all placed participants.

04/08/2022 - A. Hold
Andy`s group of local anglers arrived to fish a change of ponds, deciding on the Tench pond on Thur.4th.Aug. The morning was bright and sunny with some high white cloud moved on by a fresh westerly breeze. During the afternoon the wind increased as it veered to a more northerly direction bringing with it more cloud. The temperature was always warm reaching a high of 22 degrees. This pond is a favourite of "silver fish King" Gary who again took the honours on this pond with a all Rudd catch of 47lbs. from Peg 4. In second place was a delighted Terry in Peg 12 with his all Carp catch of 41lbs.1oz. In all the matches Terry has fished on these ponds I believe this to be the first time he has finished in the winners frame. Well deserved Terry. Tim claimed third place with 25lbs. from Peg 6. Summing up it was a victory for targeting the silver fish with maggot and float against sitting it out for the Carp. This appears to be the two options on this pond with the choice up to the individual angler. Congratulations to all placed participants.

31/07/2022 - Ron`s Rovers
Ron brought his Rovers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.31st.July. The day was overcast with low cloud that produced some fairly heavy rain for a period during the morning. After the rain the day brightened and despite a fresh northerly breeze the temperature achieved a high of 18 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times as it progressed I did not see anything to suggest any big weights but how wrong can you be? At the weigh-in it was Alan in Peg 6 who claimed the victory with a good weight of 120lbs.1oz. He was followed home by Kevin in the adjacent Peg 8 with another good effort bringing 109lbs.2ozs. to the scales. Dean took the last place in the winners frame from Peg 15 falling just short of breaking the 100lbs. mark with his 99lbs.12ozs. Mike Foot was just outside the frame with another good effort managing 81lbs.15ozs. from Peg 9. All in all, a very good match with some good weights down the order, Congratulations to all placed participants.

31/07/2022 - Tristar A.C.
Tristar A.C. travelled from Bridlington to fish a club match on the Moat pond on Sun.31st.July. The day was generally overcast with low dark clouds and light intermittent showers apart from one prolonged heavier spell of rain mid morning. The afternoon was dryer with a fresh northerly breeze but despite this the temperature reached a comfortable high of 18 degrees. The match was fished using pegs 14 to 30 only. Kevin in Peg 30 only needed 31lbs.11ozs. to win the match, a disappointing top weight! He was followed home by Andy in Peg 24 who managed 26lbs.10ozs. Last place in the winners frame went to Graham who brought 23lbs.1oz. to the scales from Peg 19. Summing up, it was a disappointing match with less than expected low weights for which I have no explanation but congratulations to all placed participants.

28/07/2022 - A. Hold
The mid-week group of local anglers assembled to fish Andy`s match on the Moat pond on Thur.28th.July. The day was a mixture of high thin cloud and sunshine after a little early morning rain. There was a fresh to moderate south easterly breeze that felt cool when in it`s path but despite this the temperature reached a high of 20 degrees in sheltered areas. Looking over the match a couple of times I would describe the catching rate as steady with no big weights in the offing. At the weigh-in I understand that Tim was "over the moon" to win his very first match with a weight of 52lbs.7ozs. from Peg 21. Well done Tim with hope for more success to come. Second place went to Phil who managed 36lbs.6ozs. from Peg 28. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate second from third but Tony in Peg 10 had to settle for the last place in the frame falling only 1lb or so short with his 35lbs.4ozs. Summing up, the match was what could be described as a steady unspectacular affair with less than hoped for weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

24/07/2022 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.24th.July. After overnight rain the day was a mixture of mostly cloud and some sunshine. The south westerly breeze increased to strong as the day wore on but had little effect on the temperature with the thermometer reading a high of 24 degrees. A quick glance over the match a couple of times seemed to suggest that there may be a couple of good weights today. It turned out much better than that as local lad Chris in Peg 6 claimed the win with 168lbs.14ozs. Well done Chris. Darren took the runner up position from Peg 9 weighing 150lbs. dead. I`ve got nowt Colin in Peg 2 was in third spot with his 145lbs.13ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Lee Coggin who managed 139lbs.3ozs. from Peg 21. Mike Lloyd was one place back in 5th. weighing 135lbs.6ozs. from Peg 15. 6th place went to Gary Shepherd in Peg 28 with 131lbs.12ozs. Even Steve Conlon in 7th place beat the hundred pound mark weighing 128lbs.12ozs.in Peg 25. I understand Big Ken was bottom of the list but still managed 78lbs. All in all a tremendous match with 7 anglers comfortably breaking the 100lbs. mark. Well done not only to the winners but all anglers involved.

23/07/2022 - County Angling
County Angling held a league match on Lambwath pond on Sat.23rd.July. After some early morning rain the day was a mixture of high cloud and warm sunshine. There was a light south easterly breeze that freshened during the afternoon and veered round to a south westerly direction. This had very little if any effect on the match and allowed the temperature to achieve a warm high of 24 degrees. After a uneventful match it was Tony in Peg 14 who took the honours bringing 107lbs. to the scales. Johnathon was the runner up with his 96lbs.11ozs. from Peg 6. Last place in the winners frame went to Carl who managed 70lbs.11ozs. from Peg 29. All in all it was a steady match of average weights on a warm day with a pretty much flat surface to the pond. Congratulations to all placed participants.

23/07/2022 - A.A..C.
Aldbrough Angling Club continued their summer league series on the Caravan pond on Sat.23rd.July. After some unusual early morning rain the rest of the day was a mixture of cloud and sunshine, starting with a light south easterly breeze that freshened as it veered to a south westerly direction during the afternoon. It remained warm throughout as the temperature reached a high of 24 degrees. The match was fished on the low number pegs on the North bank only. I have no information of any interesting happenings during the match and at the weigh-in the results were also uninspiring as Andy in Peg 8 only required 63lbs.1oz. to once again claim the victory. Even this moderate weight gave him a cushion of 30lbs over Paul in Peg 4 who was in the runner-up position with his 33lbs.1oz. Third place was claimed by Phil. in Peg 9 only 3lbs. adrift of second place who managed 30lbs.4ozs. Summing up, it was a very disappointing match of poor weights. The reason for which is unexplained and a bit of a mystery but well done to all placed participants.

Andy`s mid-week match made up mostly of local anglers took place on our Lambwath pond on Thur.21st.July. The day was a mixture of high clouds and sunshine with a light northerly breeze allowing the temperature to achieve a high of 19 degrees. Other than Terry loosing his rod to a snatching carp that was retrieved later nothing of note occurred during the match. At the weigh-in it was Steve in Peg 15 who is having a great run at the moment who claimed top spot with a good return of 119lbs.2ozs. Well done Steve! He was followed home in second by organiser Andy who is also no stranger to the winners column here bringing 95lbs.8ozs. to the scales from the adjacent Peg 13. Keith who has won many a match on these ponds over the years had to settle for the bronze medal place with his 76lbs.8ozs. from Peg 2. Summing up, it was a decent set of weights at the top of the order on a very flat pond surface. Congratulations to all placed participants.

17/07/2022 - Woldsmen
The Woldsmen club travelled from Driffield to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.17th.July. The morning was bright and warm with a mixture of high thin cloud and sunshine. A very fresh south easterly breeze blew up but had little effect on this sheltered pond as there was very little ripple on the water and the temperature rose to a high of 25 degrees. Again this did not look good for catching fish. At the weigh-in it was Colin, who not for the first time on these ponds claimed the victory with a good effort bringing 103lbs.12ozs. to the scales from Peg 7. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 38lbs. over second placed Steve who managed 64lbs.15ozs. from Peg 15. Des in Peg 28 claimed the last place in the winners frame with his 46lbs.10ozs. Just outside the frame in fourth spot was Andy Markham in Peg 6 with 39lbs.8ozs. Summing up. It was a bit of a run away win for Colin with the weights dropping away down the order which was a bit disappointing but again may be explained by the recent hot weather. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The Caravan pond was the choice of venue for the continuation of Big Ken`s summer league on Sun.17th,July. The day started bright and warm with a mixture of high thin cloud and sunshine. As the day wore on a surprisingly strong south easterly breeze developed coming in off the nearby North sea onto this exposed pond. Although the temperature in the area reached a high of 25 degrees some anglers directly in the breeze were putting jackets on to keep the wind out. The upside to this was there was a good ripple on the water surface that looked good for some good weights. This proved correct at the weigh-in as Steve directly in the wind won the contest with a good effort bringing 133lbs.5ozs. to the scales from Peg 39. Only 5lbs adrift in Second place was Lee who managed 128lbs.2ozs. in Peg 28. Also topping the hundred pound mark was Willy in Peg 12 with his 102lbs.4ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Colin Smith who weighed 84lbs.4ozs. from Peg 30. All in all a very good match with excellent weights from this group of anglers. Well done to all involved.

16/07/2022 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. fished the Dennis Wainwright memorial match on Lambwath pond on Sat.16th.July. After some very light early morning rain the day was a mixture of high thin cloud and warm sunshine. There was a freshening south easterly breeze that blew in off the sea but despite this the temperature achieved a high of 22 degrees. I have mentioned before that this pond is well sheltered from onshore winds and today was no different. It was very warm with very little ripple on the water surface that did not feel good for big weights. The weigh-in went some way to confirm this as Loz in Peg 12 took the win with a average kind of weight of 87lbs.6ozs. I understand that a lot of his fish were taken up in the water on pellet waggler. Paul in the nearby Peg 10 was in second place with his 70lbs.3ozs. followed by Andy who managed 54lbs.13ozs, from the adjacent Peg 11 to claim third spot. A match of less than hoped for weights but the hot weather of late may be having a effect on catches. It will be noted that the three winning weights came from three pegs in a row on the north bank. Congratulations to all placed participants.

10/07/2022 - Post Office A.C.
Post Office A.C. fished a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun.10th.July. The morning saw cloudless blue skies and warm sunshine that lasted for the whole day with a north easterly breeze that had little effect on the pond as it is well sheltered from sea breezes allowing the temperature to reach a high of 22 degrees. Plenty of good sized fish were evident on the water surface cruising around, ignoring any offered baits so it was a bit of a surprise to see Trevor in Peg 8 win the match, bringing a good weight of 94lbs.2ozs. to the scales. He was followed home by secretary Colin in second place who managed 84lbs.2ozs. from Peg 6. Third place went to Barry in Peg 12 with his 81lbs.2ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Terry Champion who weighed 58lbs.15ozs. from Peg19. All in all another close fought match at the top of the order with acceptable weights for the conditions. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The Moat pond was the venue for the continuation of Big Ken`s summer league on Sun.10th.July. The day was bright and sunny from the off and continued thus throughout the day, The north easterly breeze had a little effect on the pond providing a slight ripple in certain areas and helped to ward off some of the heat that still climbed to a high of some 22 degrees. Not much of note happened during the match so to the weigh-in and it was Willy in Peg 20 who again took the honours with a moderate weight for this group of anglers off 66lbs.3ozs. This gave him a cushion of only 10lbs. over second placed Big Ken who managed 55lbs.9ozs. from Peg 27. Third spot went to Mike in Peg 2 with his 37lbs. dead. Just outside the frame in fourth was Steve Conlon who weighed 31lbs.4ozs. from Peg 30. Summing up, it was a disappointing sort of match with less than hoped for weights although the hot weather of late may have had some effect but that is only a guess on my part and not a excuse. Never the less congratulations are again due to all placed participants

09/07/2022 - A.A..C.
A.A.C.`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.9th.July. The early morning was bright with a mixture of cloud and sunshine with a moderate north easterly breeze. Gradually the cloud broke up to give almost full sunshine for the rest of the day. The temperature rose to a high of 20 degrees but this pond is well sheltered from on shore winds and it felt warmer than this around the pond. Despite the warmth some decent weights were achieved at the top of the order with Paul in Peg 15 claiming the victory with a good effort of 93lbs.2ozs. Good scales and accurate reading of them was required to decide between first and second but Andy in Peg 28 had to settle for second place falling only 4ozs. short of the win with 92lbs.14ozs. How close was that? Last place in the winners frame went to Phil in Peg 8 with his 86lbs.10ozs. summing up, it was another close run match at the top of the order with better weights than of late with only 7lbs. or so separating the top three. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy Hold`s now familiar mid week match took place on Lambwath pond on Thur.7th.July. The match was fished on the low number pegs on the north bank only. The day started with some light rain that had cleared by kick off time and was replaced with clear blue skies and wall to wall sunshine for the rest of the day. The fresh northerly wind held the temperature down to 19 degrees but it felt much warmer on the sheltered areas of the pond. A interesting occurrence happened during the match as the eventual winner Steve in Peg 6 lost his rod that was taken by a carp. He then switched to his pole and eventually foul hooked his rod, not only did he retrieve the rod but luckily the carp was still on the hook. This fish could have won him the match as he only finished just over 5lbs. ahead of second placed Tony weighing 48lbs. against Tony`s 42lbs.9ozs. from the adjacent Peg 8 Third place went to organiser Andy in Peg 14 with his 41lbs.6ozs. All in all a very competitive match with less than 7lbs. covering the top three although the weights were less than hoped for. A bit of advice for Steve, " go out and bye a couple of lottery tickets".!!

03/07/2022 - Tightliners A.C.
Tightliners arrived on Sun.3rd.July. to fish a club match on Lambwath pond. The day was mostly cloudy but with some brief spells of sunshine and a fresh westerly breeze that allowed the temperature to reach a high of 20 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times I did not see anything to give me confidence of any big weights today. This turned out to be the case as at the weigh-in Tony in Peg 28 only needed 60lbs.14ozs. to claim the victory although Chris fell less than 2lbs. short of the win but had to settle for the runner up slot bringing 59lbs.10ozs. to the scales from Peg 8, unlucky Chris!. Last place in the winners frame went to Ian in the adjacent Peg 7 with his 54lbs.13ozs. All in all it was a very close competitive match at the top of the order with only 6lbs. covering the top three. Alas, again no large weights but todays results appear to be the going rate at the moment. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The Caravan pond was the venue for the continuation of Big Ken`s summer league on Sun.3rd.July. The day was bright but cloudy with some brief spells of sunshine and a fresh westerly breeze blowing down the pond. The temperature reached a comfortable high of 20 degrees. Looking over the match in progress a couple of times things looked steady rather than spectacular so it was a bit of a surprise at the weigh-in to see Willy, a regular name in these reports bring a good weight of 120lbs.12ozs. to the scales from Peg 30 to claim the victory. This gave him a cushion of 42lbs. over second placed Mike who managed 78lbs.5ozs. from Peg 28. Third place went to Big Ken himself with his 75lbs.7ozs. from the adjacent Peg 26. Close scrutiny of the scales was required to separate fourth from fifth but it was Gary Shepherd in Peg 29 who won the minor places victory by 1oz.over Steve Conlon in Peg 40. Gary weighed 68lbs.7ozs. and Steve 68lbs.6ozs. How close was that?! Summing up it was a good match with decent weights down the order Well done to all anglers.

County Angling held a summer league match on the Moat pond on Sat.2nd.July. The day was a mixture of sunshine but mostly clouds although the threatened heavy showers never materialised. There was a fresh southerly breeze during the morning that died away to zero during the afternoon allowing the temperature to reach a comfortable 19 degrees. Nothing of note to report from the match so to the weigh-in. and it was Steve who claimed the victory with 64lbs. from Peg 10 Andy at the other end of the pond took the runner up spot with 53lbs. in Peg 29. Kai in Peg 4 took the last place in the winners frame weighing 46lbs.6ozs. Summing up, it was a steady rather than spectacular match with average weights for this pond at the present time.

02/07/2022 - Cannon A.C.
Cannon Angling`s summer league season continued on Lambwath pond on Sat.2nd.july. The day was mostly cloudy with some brief sunny spells and a fresh southerly breeze that died away during the afternoon to allow the temperature to achieve a high of 19 degrees. The promised heavy showers thankfully never arrived so the match took place in comfortable conditions At the weigh-in it was a very close family affair as father Paul fought off son Jimmy to claim the victory with his 77lbs. from Peg 7. Jimmy had to settle for second place falling agonisingly 2lbs.short weighing 75lbs. from Peg 30. Jacko in Peg 21 took third spot managing 49lbs. from Peg 21. All in all another steady match with a close fought family tussle for the top two places. The weights were a little disappointing falling back after last weekends big improvements gave hope that better weights were on the cards. Well done to all placed participants.

30/06/2022 - A. Hold
Andy and his group of mostly local anglers held their now weekly mid-week match on Lambwath pond on Thur. 30th. June. The day was a mixture of sunshine and cloud with a light increasing to fresh south easterly breeze. The temperature reached a comfortable high of 20 degrees. Match weights on this pond over the week-end showed a big improvement on recent results but looking over this match on a couple of occasions the signs were not particularly encouraging. Disappointingly the results were not what was hoped for as Steve kept up his good form of recent times as he took the victory with 49lbs. from Peg 1. Only 2lbs.adrift in second was Andy in Peg 26 who managed 47lbs. his net of fish contained only 1 Carp with the rest made up of Bream and Skimmers. Last place in the winners frame went to Paul in Peg 30 with his 35lbs.12ozs. All in all a unspectacular match with less than hoped for weights. Never the less congratulations are in order for all the placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.26th.June. The day was bright with a mixture of strong sunshine and fast moving clouds due to the very strong southerly wind, despite this the temperature reached a high of 22 degrees. There was a good ripple on the water surface giving hopes for better weights than of late. These hopes were fulfilled as relative new comer and local village lad Chris claimed the win bringing a magnificent weight of 213lbs7ozs. to the scales from Peg 30. This gave him a comfortable cushion of 82lbs. over second placed Lee who managed 131lbs.9ozs. in Peg 9. Last place in the winners frame went to Colin who missed out on second spot by 2lbs. amassing 129lbs. from Peg 28. Big Ken was just outside the frame in fourth weighing 104lbs.11ozs. from Peg 6. and Willy Eyre had to settle for fifth in Peg 15 with his 96lbs.12ozs. All in all a very good match with excellent weights down the order. A special mention for a great effort from Chris and well done to all anglers for a very good match.

25/06/2022 - Robbo
Robbo brought a group of anglers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat.25th. June. The day was a mixture of bright sunshine and fast moving clouds driven by a strong southerly wind, despite the wind the temperature reached a warm 22 degrees. Much more movement on the water surface gave expectations of some better weights after recent flat surfaces and hot conditions. We will see! Things looked promising during the match and at the weigh-in Steve again took top spot with a good effort of 158lbs. from Peg 15. Another regular name in these reports was in second place as Willy brought 126lbs to the scales from the adjacent Peg 13. Last place in the winners frame went to Rich Willey in Peg 25 falling just short of the ton mark with 96lbs. Fourth place went to Trev Lynn with 79lbs. from Peg 2 closely followed by Mark Mags in Peg 21 with his 76lbs. All in all a decent match of better weights than of late. Hope this trend continues.! congratulations to all placed participants.

25/06/2022 - A.A..C.
A.A.C. continued their summer league matches on the Moat pond on Sat.25th.June. The morning was bright with sunshine and fast moving white clouds pushed on by a strong south easterly wind. Despite the strong wind it had no effect on the temperature which achieved a warm high of 22 degrees. I have no information of any interesting happenings during the match so we will have to go straight to the results. At the weigh-in Darren in Peg 10 claimed top billing bringing a decent weight of 53lbs.9ozs. to the scales. Chris kept the family name in the winners frame taking the runner up slot from Peg 14 with his good effort of 44lbs.3ozs. Only 3lbs. adrift of second was Melvyn in Peg 6 who had to settle for third place managing 41lbs.5oz. All in all another very competitive match at the top of the order but the big weights are still proving elusive. Congratulations are due to all placed participants.

23/06/2022 - A. Hold
The now regular mid-week match of mainly local anglers took place on the Moat pond on Thur.23rd. June. Unfortunately organiser Andy was absent due to a bout of illness, get well soon Andy. The day was bright with almost continuous sunshine with a light easterly breeze that freshened during the morning, despite this the temperature reached a comfortable 22degrees. Observations during the match appeared to show that big weights would not be on the cards today. This proved to be the case as at the weigh-in as Eddie took the honours with 48lbs.10ozs. from Peg 27. Steve is making a habit of finishing in the winners frame of late and claimed the runner up spot today with his 32lbs.3ozs. from Peg 12. Third place went to Melvyn in Peg 18 who brought 22lbs.9ozs. to the scales. Only 5ozs. adrift of third spot was Paul Rhodes in the adjacent Peg 17 who had to settle for fourth place with 22lbs.4ozs. Summing up, it was a unspectacular match of less than average weights although the recent hot conditions may have some effect on the outcome. This is not a excuse but a possible explanation. Congratulations to all placed participants.

19/06/2022 - Falcon A.C.
Falcon A.C. fished a league match on Lambwath pond on Sun.19th.June. The day was a mixture of high light cloud and sunny spells with a increasing north westerly breeze that limited temperatures to 17 degrees. We are still waiting for the weights to achieve pre-spawning levels although some people believe that the recent high pressure systems have as much to do with the dip in weights as the spawning. Well lets see how things went today! At the weigh-in John took top place on the podium with his 107lbs.from Peg 6. Andy was close behind in second place managing 96lbs.7ozs. from Peg 22. Shaun in the adjacent Peg 21 claimed the last place in the winners frame with his weight of 85lbs.2ozs. All in all another close competitive match with reasonable weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

18/06/2022 - Ace of Clubs
Ace of Clubs fished a summer league match on the Tench pond on Sat 18th June. The weather was a big change from yesterday 30 degrees with high light cloud and some weak sunshine during the early morning. The highest temperatures of the day were recorded at this time reaching 17 degrees. Things soon changed as the cloud cover increased and the breeze strengthened to bring a much cooler feel to the day. A few of the smaller matches are choosing to fish the Tench pond, probably due to the interesting catches of Rudd in recent times. At the weigh-in Mally took pole position with 66lbs.5ozs of these golden jewels from Peg 10. Rob in second place had a similar all Rudd catch of 52lbs.3ozs. in Peg 4. Last place in the winners frame went to Alan who brought another net of Rudd to the scales weighing 28lbs.12ozs. from Peg 6. Just outside the frame was Max Rooms who also targeted the Rudd to finish with 24lbs.5ozs. from Peg 5. Summing up, the carp were unobliging again and I understand that the top four weights were made up almost exclusively of Rudd!! Congratulations to all placed participants.

16/06/2022 - A. Hold
Andy gathered his now regular mid-week group of local anglers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Thur.16th.June. The morning was bright with some thin high cloud and warm sunshine. A light south easterly breeze coming in off the sea arose during the morning to take the edge off the heat although this pond is sheltered from sea breezes which allowed the temperature to reach 24 degrees. The match was fished on the high number pegs on the south bank only. We know from recent match results that weights have been down across the board as the Carp have been hard to come by. Today proved to be no different as organiser Andy claimed top spot with 40lbs.7ozs. from Peg 28. He only had one carp in this catch. Steve who is having a good run at the moment took second place from Peg 1 with his 38lbs.15ozs. Silver fish specialist Gary was in third with a Bream and silver fish bag of 36lbs.6ozs. from Peg 25. Just outside the winners frame was Tim Pecheur in Peg 23 who managed 34lbs.9ozs. Summing up, despite the lack of carp to boost the weights it was a very competitive match with only 6lbs. covering the top four places giving several anglers a chance of victory right to the whistle.

12/06/2022 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s summer league moved to the Moat pond on Sun.12th.June. The day was bright throughout with a mixture of sunshine and high fast moving clouds in front of a strong westerly wind. It still remained warm with temperatures reaching a high of 19degrees in sheltered areas. It will have been noted from recent results that the ponds have been performing less than we would like or expect at this time of the year. The results at today`s weigh-in proved that there is still plenty of room for improvement on this front. Willy claimed the win from Peg 19 with 64lbs.2ozs. Lee in Peg 6 took the runner up slot managing 48lbs.2ozs. in Peg 6. Third place went to "Col ive got nowt" Smith in Peg 21 who fell less than 1lb. short of second place with his 47lbs.4ozs. Even closer to finishing in the winners frame was Craig Swyers in Peg 27 who finished only 6ozs. short bringing 46lbs.14ozs. to the scales. Summing up, it was another close run affair with below average weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

12/06/2022 - Fishing 4 Heroes
Fishing 4 Heroes fished a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.12th.June. The weather was very similar to Saturday`s being bright with plenty of sunshine accompanied by lots of high fast moving cloud driven by a strong westerly wind. despite the wind the temperature reached a high of 19 degrees in sheltered areas. As you will have seen from recent match reports results have been below average lately and today was no different as Alan took the victory with 63lbs.4ozs. in Peg 14. he was followed home by Mark who managed 47lbs.8ozs from Peg 12 with James in Peg 6 claiming the last winning slot with his 42lbs.5ozs. All in all another match of disappointing weights but still a fairly close fought affair with no run away winner. Hopefully the results will soon get back to something like what we are used to at this time of the year. Well done to all placed anglers.

11/06/2022 - Robbo
Robbo again brought a group of anglers to fish a non league match on Lambwath pond on Sat 11th. June. The day was bright throughout with fast moving clusters of cloud in front of a strong westerly wind, despite the wind it remained warm as temperatures reached a high of 20 degrees. The ponds have been a bit hard going this week so we would see how this set of good class anglers performed. Well at the weigh-in it was organiser Robbo who took the honours with a moderate weight for recent times of 106lbs from Peg 30. Last weeks winner Steve had to settle for the runner up spot this week with 98lbs.7ozs. from Peg 21. Last place in the winners frame went to Rich. in Peg 12 who managed 90lbs.3ozs. Just outside the frame was Lee Smith with his 81lbs.14ozs. from Peg 3. In fifth place was Matt who weighed 76lbs.10ozs. from Peg 6. followed in sixth spot by Willy Eyre with 74lbs 14ozs. from Peg 28. Summing up, it was not a match of big weights but was very competitive to the end with several anglers down the order in with a chance right to the end. Congratulations to all placed participants.

11/06/2022 - A.A..C.
The A.A.C`s summer league continued on the Caravan pond on Sat.11th June. The day was bright with clusters of fast moving clouds in front of a strong westerly breeze, despite the wind the temperature reached a high of 20 degrees. Whilst having a couple of quick looks over the match in progress it was obvious that there was very little action to be seen. This proved to be the case as at the weigh-in as Darren in Peg 2 only needed 45lbs dead to claim the victory He was followed home by Andy in Peg11 with his 31lbs.11ozs. Last place in the frame was claimed by Pete in Peg 3 who managed 26lbs. Summing up, it was a disappointing match of well below expected or hoped for weights. I have no explanation for the poor returns but it may be the after spawning lull ! Lets hope so and that things soon improve. Well done to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league took a different route this week fishing the Tench pond for the second time this summer, The morning was a miserable affair with heavy rain falling at the start of the match accompanied by a moderate to strong cold north easterly wind. The rain eased as the day progressed but remained damp and cold throughout with temperatures restricted to a high of 12 degrees. During warmer days earlier in the week fish have been spawning in most of the ponds so it was a unknown factor of how the ponds would fish this week ?. The answer at the weigh-in was ,not very well as Willy in Peg 6 only needed 51lbs.2ozs. to claim the victory. The runner up spot went to Andy in Peg 4 who managed 37lbs dead. Craig in Peg 11 took the last place in the winners frame with his 36lbs.12ozs. Just outside the frame was Ken who brought 35lbs.6ozs. to the scales from Peg 1. Summing up it was a match of less than average weights that did nothing to compensate for the wet miserable day. Lets hope for improved weather and weights in the near future. Congratulation to all placed participants.

04/06/2022 - Robbo
Robbo brought a group of anglers to fish a non league match on Lambwath pond on Sat. 4th. June. The day was overcast and cold throughout with temperatures pegged to a cool 11degrees in a moderate north easterly wind. It became clear soon after the start of the match that 'Pully' would take some beating as he was catching well from the off. This was proved correct at the weigh-in as brought a tremendous weight of 268lbs.3oz. to the scales from Peg 21. This is the second weight of similar size from this pond in 3 days. Well done Steve. This gave him a massive cushion of 130lbs. over Willy in Peg13 who scaled 138lbs.Third spot went to organiser Robbo in Peg 30 who managed 68lbs. All in all a bit of a runner away victory with a tremendous effort from Pully which left the other anglers fishing for the minor places almost from the off. A similar result to A. Holds`s match last Thurs. being rather uncompetitive with a runaway winner. Things will hopefully even them selves out after things settle down after the recent spawning. A great effort from Steve and congratulations to all placed participants.

02/06/2022 - A. Hold
Andy assembled the now weekly group of fairly local anglers to fish their regular mid-week match on Lambwath pond on Thur.2nd.June. The morning was bright with sunshine and some patches of high white clouds that promised no threat of rain. The breeze increased during the morning to become very fresh from a cool south easterly direction although the temperature rose to a very pleasant 20 degrees in sheltered areas. Carp were in spawning mood during the morning in a few areas of the pond so we wondered how things would go. Well at the weigh-in organiser Andy claimed the victory with a quite astonishing weight of 241lbs.1oz. from Peg 14. This gave him a massive cushion of 107lbs. over second placed Steve in the adjacent Peg 14 who never the less brought his first hundred pound plus weight to the scales from this pond with 133lbs.12ozs. Paul in Peg 6 was in third position managing 79lbs.9ozs. Just outside the winners frame was Chris Myers with 74lbs.2ozs. from Peg 25. Summing up, Andy ran away with the match with a weight that must be up with the biggest weights ever from this pond. Unfortunately I do not have the record weights to see where this effort sits. Congratulations to Andy for a outstanding effort and to all other placed participants.

29/05/2022 - K. Swyers
Big Ken`s summer league continued on the Caravan pond on Sun 29th May. The day started cloudy with a light northerly breeze and intermittent rain showers. During the morning the breeze increased to strong which had the effect of breaking up the cloud but also kept the temperature down to a cool 11 degrees. The match was fished only on the high number pegs on the south bank, hence the wind was in the faces of the anglers. At the weigh-in Steve proved to be victorious with a decent weight of 85lbs.9ozs. from Peg 39. Chris in Peg 24 claimed the runner up spot with 58lbs. He was followed by Big Ken himself who managed 50lbs.13ozs. from Peg 34 to claim third place. Just outside the top three was Colin in Peg 32 with his 45lbs.13ozs. Again a match of less than expected weights for this time of the year especially from this group of anglers. Lets hope that weights improve after spawning whenever that may be. Well done to all placed anglers.

29/05/2022 - Armstrong`s
Armstrongs of Beverly held a club match on Lambwath pond on Sun 29th May. The day opened with high cloud cover and irregular sharp showers with a light northerly breeze that increased to strong as the day progressed which kept the temperature down to a cool 11 degrees. The increase in the wind strength helped to clear the cloud and reduce the showers during the afternoon but it remained cool. This match was fished with rod and reel only. At the weigh-in after a uneventful match it was John in Peg 21 who claimed the honours with a moderate weight of 57lbs.8ozs. Only 5lbs. back in second place was Ivan who managed 52lbs.9ozs. from Peg 9. Even closer in Peg 16 only 2lbs or so behind was Dave with his 50lbs.4ozs. Unlucky to miss out of the top three was Paul Lazenby only 3lbs. further back in fourth weighing 47lbs.3ozs. from Peg 13. Summing up ,it was a very competitive close fought match with only 10lbs. separating the top four places although the weights were a little disappointing for the time of year which seems to be a trait at the moment. Congratulations to all placed participants.

The A.A.C. summer league matches continued on Lambwath pond on Sat. 28th May. The day began bright but with high cloud and a cool northerly breeze that freshened as the day wore on. After lunch with the increased wind the cloud cleared to give plenty of sunshine but the temperature only reached a high of 14 degrees. No incidents of interest to report during the match so straight to the result. Darren claimed the number one spot with a decent effort of 79lbs.4ozs. from Peg 21. He was followed home closely by Phil in Peg 14 who finished only 5lbs. adrift with his 73lbs.12ozs. Last place in the money went to Chris who brought 62lbs.2ozs. to the scales from Peg 6. Just outside the winners frame was Andy Hold who features regularly in the winners list on these matches but could only manage fourth place today with 55lbs.2ozs. from Peg 12. All in all a decent close fought match with less than hoped for weights that will hopefully improve after spawning. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy gathered the now weekly group of local anglers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Thur.26th.May. The day started bright but with total cloud cover and a fresh westerly breeze that increased to strong as the day wore on. As the wind speed increased the fast moving cloud broke up to give some warm sunshine with the temperature reaching 18 degrees although it probably felt cooler if you were pegged in it`s path. Nothing of note occurred during the match and at the weigh-in it was Steve in Peg 26 who took the honours with a decent weight of 91lbs.10ozs. Only 7lbs. adrift in Second place was organiser Andy with his 84lbs.10ozs. from Peg 6. Tim, a new name to these reports completed the winning line up as he managed 47lbs.10ozs. from Peg 1. All in all a steady sort of match with a couple of decent weights at the top of the order. The strong wind made it difficult to fish the pole other than down the margins. Congratulations to all placed participants.

22/05/2022 - Woldsmen
The Woldsmen club travelled from Driffield to fish a match on the Caravan pond on Sun 22nd. May. The day was cloudy but bright with a fresh westerly breeze. The temperature reached a slightly muggy 20 degrees despite the lack of any sunshine. This was a bit of a experiment on this pond as this club have fished the Lambwath pond over the years with plenty of success and I understand it did not prove to be a good day for some with big fish being lost with others not even getting them on the hook! Not for the first time on these ponds Colin claimed top spot with 89 lbs. from Peg 35. This gave him a cushion of 32lbs. over second placed Dave in Peg 12 who brought 57lbs.4 ozs. to the scales. Alfie in Peg 2 took the last place in the winners frame with 49lbs. Just missing out on the top three was John Shipley in Peg 16 falling just 2lbs. short of third with his 47lbs. that included the biggest fish of the day, a 17lbs. Common carp. Summing up, it appeared to be a decent day for some but not for others !! Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league continued on Lambwath pond on Sun.22nd.May. The day was bright but cloudy with a fresh westerly breeze although the temperature reached a warm 20 degrees despite the lack of any sunshine. Fish appeared to be coming to the nets from the off so some good weights were in prospect! This proved to be correct as Lee followed last weeks victory with a repeat performance at the weigh-in falling just short of a double hundred mark with 187lbs.9ozs. from Peg 15. Another great effort, well done Lee. Craig took the runner up spot with 141lbs.9ozs. in Peg 6.Last place in the winners frame went to Colin in Peg 10 with his 122lbs.11ozs. Out of the winners on the day but with very good weights were Gary Shepherd in Peg 30 who managed 110lbs.4ozs. and Willy Eyre in Peg 28 with his 104lbs.11ozs. All in all a very competitive match with the excellent weights with the first five topping the 100lbs. mark. Back up weights down the order were also in the high double figures so well done to all anglers.

21/05/2022 - Robbo
"Robbo" of Risby Park fame brought a group of anglers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sat. 21st.May. Apologies for not knowing your correct title.! The day was bright with a mixture of cloud and sunshine and a moderate westerly breeze that allowed the temperature to reach a comfortable 17 degrees. The carp have been a little on the shy side for the last few days so we will see how this set of anglers get on, some of who are not regulars here. At the weigh-in Steve claimed the honours with a decent weight of 116lbs.4ozs. He caught a few on the waggler before switching to the margins on dead maggots. Close scrutiny of the scales was required but Willy had to settle for second place only 1.5lbs adrift with his 114lbs.10ozs. from Peg 30. Willy had fish on the tip, a few shallow on the pole followed by pole in the margins. Jon,a new name to me took the last place in the winners frame from Peg 21 with 87lbs.9ozs. Summing up, it was not a bad match judging by the weights so congratulations to all placed participants.

Andy ran the now fairly regular mid-week match comprising of local anglers on Lambwath pond on Thur.19th.May. The match was fished only on the L.H. side of the rope on the high number pegs. After overnight rain the morning was bright with high cloud and a westerly breeze and temperatures around the 13 degree mark. Around lunch time the cloud cleared and as the breeze eased we had constant sunshine and the temperature climbed to a comfortable 18 degrees. Observations during the match showed that a good number of bream were coming to the nets but the carp were on the shy side. Organiser Andy claimed the victory with a weight of 54lbs.3ozs. from Peg 22. Tony in the adjacent Peg 21 was the runner up with 38lbs.3ozs. Whilst Eddie in Peg 23 on the other side of the winner claimed third place with 30lbs.9ozs. Summing up, three pegs in a row at the top end of the pond took the first three places with a good number of bream making up the weights with the carp having a day off. This was instrumental in below par weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Big Ken`s latest summer league match took place on Lambwath lake on Sun.15th.May. The morning dawned cloudy and overcast with some light rain. The south easterly breeze freshened as the day wore on keeping the temperature down to a cool 12 degrees. The cool conditions did not appear to subdue the appetite of the fish as they were coming to the nets regularly so some good weights were on the cards. We were not disappointed at the weigh-in as Lee claimed top spot with a tremendous effort of 191lbs.9ozs.from Peg 2. well done. Another great effort from Dave who brought 148lbs.1oz to the scales which was only good enough for second place. Last place in the winners frame went to Andy who also broke the "ton" mark with his 129lbs.15ozs. Big Ken himself finished just outside the top three managing 95lbs.4ozs. from Peg 15. All in all another great match from this group of anglers, but we should not be surprised as they do it regularly. Well done to all participants.

The A.A.C. summer league continued on the Moat pond on Sat. 14th May. The morning as forecast dawned bright and sunny with a light westerly breeze that changed around midday as the breeze freshened and veered round to a cooler south easterly direction holding the temperature down to around 16 degrees. Looking over the match a couple of times things looked generally quite with a pattern beginning to show where the probable winners would come from. At the weigh-in Melvyn claimed the honours with his 58lbs.2ozs. from Peg 27. The runner up spot went to Paul in Peg 7 who managed 49lbs. dead with last place in the winners frame going to Andy in Peg 22 who accumulated 33lbs.13ozs. Summing up, it was a uneventful match with less than expected weights compared to recent results. Lets hope things soon get better again.!

Whilst I was away for a few days Big Ken`s latest summer league match took place on the Moat pond on Sun.8th. May. Unfortunately I have no details to report on the match so it`s straight to the result. Not a bad idea some of the readers of this column may think after a few years of reading my attempts at journalism. Top spot went to Chris, a relative new comer to group and a local Aldbrough lad who brought 91lbs.9ozs. to the scales from Peg 4. Ian claimed second place with 82lbs.14ozs. from Peg 6. Big brother Andy managed 72lbs.11ozs from Peg 20 to finish in the bronze medal position. Craig Swyers was just outside the winners frame with 60lbs.9ozs.from Peg 23. Judging by the weights it appears to have been a very competitive match with good weights at least at the top of the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Whilst I was away Andy held a small match consisting of local anglers on the Tench pond on Thur. 5th. May. I have no details of the conditions or any bits of interest during the match. The big point of note was that silver fish specialist Gary won the match from Peg 5 with a tremendous all Rudd and Perch bag of 114 lbs. Gary won a match on this pond last season with another all silver fish catch of around 85 lbs. We thought this would be difficult to better but this latest effort raises the bar by some 30lbs. Can this be beaten with only silver fish? It will take some doing!. This gave Gary a 59lbs. cushion over Keith in second place who managed 55lbs. from Peg 3. Last place in the winners frame went to Dave with his 35lbs. from Peg 2. Summing up, it was a tremendous achievement by Gary so congratulations to him and all placed participants.

Big Ken`s summer league continued on the Caravan pond on Sun.1st.May. After a little overnight rain the morning was dull and overcast with a slight westerly breeze with temperatures reaching a high of 14degrees. During the afternoon the breeze freshened and veered to a easterly direction which dropped the temperature as it blew straight down the pond off the cold North sea. Winner Andy has had some success on this pond and again claimed the honours with a excellent weight of 144lbs.11ozs. from Peg 30. Second place went to relative new comer Chris in Peg 39 who seemed to benefit from the change in wind direction on the car park end bank as he produced another good effort with 125lbs.12ozs. Willy a regular member of the winners frame finished in third place falling just short of the three figure mark with his 99lbs.8ozs. from Peg 28. Mike Lloyd was in fourth with a weight of 71lbs.8ozs.from Peg 32. All in all a good match with very good weights. Congratulations to all placed participants.

Ron brought his Rovers to fish a match on Lambwath pond on Sun.1st.May. After some overnight light rain the morning was overcast with a slight westerly breeze and temperatures hovering around 13 degrees. As the tide turned on the nearby North sea during the afternoon the breeze freshened and veered to a more easterly direction making it much cooler in exposed areas. At the weigh-in Dean was announced the victor with a good effort of 109lbs.5ozs. from Peg 14. This gave him a comfortable cushion of around 45lbs. over second placed Mike who brought 64lbs.10ozs. to the scales from Peg 21. Third spot was claimed by organiser Ron with 58lbs.11ozs. from Peg 6. Alan Reavley was just outside the winners frame in fourth place and managed 50lbs.4ozs. from Peg 13. Summing up. Discounting the winner the rest of the match was close fought with decent weights down the order. Congratulations to all placed participants.
