Hi Guys,
Phill has asked me to inform you all that there is a Lake change for the 16th October 22. After speaking to Jamie he has told him that the Canal will not be available due to water levels being down, he has kindly given us Brick Lake as a replacement.
Thanks,
Shaun.
Sedges 11th September
As normal Sunday only means one thing club day, as I walked my dog on Saturday I spoke to my Mucca Locko for some info on today’s match he put me right on a few things with this lake as I’m not a usual so much as I probably should be. I think that’s going to change tho as it’s a quality fishery to have as a venue not to mention the on site cafe.
I met Guru & Matrix Fry at 7 for a breakfast also joining us was Graham Burge nice to see him back so let’s give him a nick name Budgy Burge 😀🎣
As we came out of the cafe it was a great vibe going round the venue was packed two matches on today & some faces I’ve not seen for a while one was Dave Romain Colmic Master in this area so a nice catch up with him.
On to the draw & I’ve got peg 8 a good line up on are side Richie Coles down the bottom then Rog followed by Matrix Fry, he wasn’t to happy with him draw tbf but as we discussed in the cafe his outlook seem to be good Pellet wag Bomb & edge seems like a good plan. Jordy Searle was also in the mix on this side he would be hard to beat on the tip. For company I had Guru to my left & bagger knewll to my right followed by Budgy up in the corner. I’m thinking is it going to be a Silvers day after a quick message to Locky in Spain telling me it’s a good Silvers peg Shag.
I’ve gone on the tip to the rope knowing I’ll catch both Silvers & carp, sure enough a carp second chuck, with quick 3 minute casts I was into skimmers so I cracked on with that & started to feed my pole lines for Skimmers.
The tip dried up after about an hour so onto the pole both short lines however the two plus one was the best by far, I could see Fletch catching well Carp & Silvers & also carp doing him, Guru was struggling but he managed a few Bagger was doing very well no surprise there lol 😂 Legend, also John W was straight across he was on them & going well the rest of the other side didn’t seem to be to busy, I kept my head down & cracked on as I guessed I was doing ok ?? Guru called the all out at 4 so how was the scales going to go? I helped Danny & Bagger with the weigh in & took some photos.
Next week I’m not there as I’m having some time out with the wife in the caravan pitty as I’m going to miss Terry & Dick’s memorial match at Trinity, so I’ll see you the week after at Avalon. I’ll ask one of the guys to do a blog for the memorial match 👍🎣
No blog last week as the away day was cancelled, a few of us jumped on different matches whilst others were on holidays etc.
Me &. Locky fished for Fry ‘s we were at The Sedges Locky. done good with 3rd on the Silvers 👏 👏.& I weighed in a half respectful 90lb a good days sport.
Fletch & Sausage went to Viaducts open where Fletch framed on the Silvers 👏👏
No match for me this week, so I asked Guru if he could do the blog for me, it’s always good to read someone else’s prospective of their day, it makes a nice change 🎣🎣
This weeks Match was at Shiplate &
First in the bag was myself and peg 2 was my home for the day, being one of the smaller pegs I decided to fish for Silvers.
The all in at 10 o’clock & match on, it fished well for most of us.
The far side seemed to fish better with some good weights.
Bagger Newell was on fire, he never lets us down with 1st overall with John W 2nd and Jordy Searle 3rd
The Silver fishing was good 1st Mr Cole’s 2nd Dave Tunstall and 3rd Bolton George, I just pinged short in 4th with 23.6, I had a lovely days fishing.
next Sunday’s Match has been Rescheduled. We are on Brick at Sedges. I’m looking forward to seeing you there - tight lines 🎣🎣
The Guru Tart 😁💪👍
Change of venue for next week, Covey is closed so we’ve changed the venue to Sedges Brick 11.08.22
Avalon
Today we’re at the above & a great turn out.
I parked the van up to see Locko Matrix Tony & Guru a fine body of men. Paid my do’s & had a chat with the guys, the lake looked great & the weather was set for perfect conditions for plenty of bites.
It’s a heavy time for me the 6 weeks holiday when my business peaks so 15hr days are the norm, prepping is tough but I do my best.
So to the draw I was the first one in & looked at 43 I’ve never been up this end of the lake so all good, my preparation was limited so I worked with what I had, I tried to keep things very simple - Conker to the island one silvers line & a carp line & a slapping rig.
For company I had Stan to my right & Grandad Pascoe to my left just past them seem to be a good line up of Silvers Anglers Fletch & Rob down running on my right was Sausage John Davies, another good line up.
On the all in I thought I’ll watch & feel my way in, best way to do this was on the tip & go from there. This was quite productive but only small stockies tbf that lasted about an hour. I fed my carp line the same time as my silvers lines to keep every option open. The carp line wasn’t doing anything & the tip had died. Ok let’s concentrate on the Silvers, I could here Grandad P struggling for bites & Fletch didn’t seem to be on fire 🔥 I was getting bites but they weren’t positive actually quite finicky but it was improving over time, sure enough it did it wasn’t rocking the world but it was slow & steady.
I did start to have a bit of banter with Grandad Pascoe & George would pipe up every now & a good glow in the air. I luv it when I say Skill School & Grandad P was the receiver today. I was gob smacked when Danny drove by he’d packed up & given his nugget to Fletch then Colin Lambert drove by aswell wow that’s two ticked off the list. Word was coming up the bank that everyone was struggling one way or another so I thought just keep your head down & keep going 😁 Stan was having sperts of carp then Rob Eagle had packed up. He said to me just keep going - sound advice from a very experienced angler.
The all out was called so what had I done Locky came up through with the scales to admit to 12lb he was joint 2nd with Fletch & I’d done the Silvers I was over the moon on a tricky day to say the least.
Great day see you on all in 2 weeks tight lines 😁👍🎣
Hi Guys
Phill has ask me to let you all know that the Away Day this year to Todber has regrettable been canceled mainly down to numbers attending..
On a more positive note - Terry & Dick Hurford Memorial Silvers Match will be held as normal on Woodlands on the 18th September, as it says this is a Silvers Match only. One to look forward to 😁🎣
Thanks Guys

Not much of a blog for this match as I wasn’t there, I was at Trinity Woodland with Fry’s, fishing their match, my first with this club & yeah went well I was 3rd in there Silvers so more than happy with that….it was tight with the top Silvers at 21.10 & my 3rd with 21.03 I did get smashed me up once to many times at 3.15 I binned the match off then as the sun had done me 🌞
Insidently the Lake record was broken with 300+
By Luke 💪🎣
I spoke to Locky when I got home he told me to hot 🥵 same as everyone including Kingy who I spoke to on the phone yesterday - he wanted to fish the Pellet Wag but couldn’t he had his brolly up for shade, he said things were tough then he started to catch well starting to gain on Jordy who was on the tip catching well - well nothing changes there 😁👍💪 I see Tony Fry done well I reckon he was on the Pellet Wag & Bomb & Pellet.
Yammy doing his bit not a clue what he did but it worked 💪🎣
Avalon this week book in with Guru & I’ll see you there 😁👍🎣
