On Lodge Pool today

[MrMatthew]

Fished from about 5pm till dark, praps 9.30ish...

Peg 13, near the Pub,

started on the waggler, red maggots, 9 perch, prob 6- 9 ozs

Then went onto surface fishing, despite multitudes of ducks managed three carp on floating crust, 8lb, 9lb and 9 1/2lb...

Another nice session - its such a great pool!

Anyone else been catchin there lately?

[Carpy]

Nice peg 13 keep chucking some bait 9in out from the bank to the left. the swim comes alive with fish, but you have to give it time, every cast put bait in. And fish a differant spot.
You will know when they come in. Its great sport.
Your right mate it is a great pool and 3 fish 8lb to 10lb not to bad.
I will be down the pool Saturday morning, with Eddie & Dave. Have a few hours.

[Andrew Burgess]

There a junior match on tomorrow I might have you to put your name down and your age! ;D

I might have sort a little prize for you! After the match

[Carpy]

Dont think i will pass for a Junior
But we are fishing early 7.00 am to about 11.30.
So it won't bother the good fishermen, the Juniors.
The club bar will be open then.

[Carpy]

Had a good morning down the pool. Went on peg 1 & 2
with Dave my mate. did ok early on. got their a 7-00.
At 12.00 Eddie turns up i tell him their is a Junior match.
And we say to him drop in the middle of us, which he does.
Dave goes to get the pints in at about 12.30
And come back saying the committee are moaning about us fishing 3 on two pegs. I didn't know i was doing wrong , nor did Eddie and Dave.
I was not fishing by then anyway my Mother Was, and i cant leave her alone she is in her late 70s and needs help. she love her fishing.
In stead of slagging us off up at the club. moon
Why the hell couldn't one of them, come down and say something. I would have pack- up straight away.
committee not doing thier jobs.
Not a happy chappie. To many moaners that do nothing.
Members voted to erect a bridge across to the island, nothing been done.

When was the last time you look Frank?

Please have an look again Frank at the crossing, because someone have built some part of the bridge in the week just gone I couldn't believe as me doing the junior march yesterday and it still OK for me to get arcoss on to the island to do the weighing but hopefully will be fully built on the 23rd July, mate.

[Carpy]

Good take that back then. good news.
Will be thier on the 23rd.

[Max]

Hope your mother liked her fishing.
the committee dont sound like nice people.
If you are doing something wrong, and you didn't know why the hell didn't they tell you.
3 members and mum also a member.
Power crazy people but not got the balls, to tell you.
They don't deserve new members.
I want be joining.
I like to fish with friends if the peg is big enough why not let a pal fish with you.
All the best Frank dont let them knobs, bother you.

[MrMatthew]

Back on Lodge Pool tonight, what a session!

6.30 - 10pm,

12 Carp off the surface on bread!
Smallest was 7lb, largest was my personal best of 13lb, 12 fish 111lbs total! I don't think I can ever expect to do better than this evening ! I am well chuffed!

[MrMatthew]

was 10lb and the second one (although it looks smaller)

All 12 taken from surface but I lost 2!

[Andrew Burgess]

Well done mate you are off to a flying start this as a new member this year.

[Carpy]

[Andrew Burgess]

Hopefully will have some longer planks to put down and also make it secure enough for anybody wants to across the bridge but I supposed it will get vandalize
