Latest Match Report:
21 Anglers fished round 6 of the Challis Tackle spring series on Sunday 11th May at Timsbury Manor lakes. This usually prolific venue was hard for most with fish ready to spawn. Winner on the day was Paul Barnard 123lb 4oz from peg 7. Second was James Hillier with 42lb 10oz from peg 19, third was Nic McCartney with 42lb 2oz from peg 8. Sections were won by Jackie Hews - first ever section win 32lb 2oz , Robert "Bubble" Head 19lb 8oz and Dean - needs a pineapple - Vickery with 27lb 10oz.
Winning by Clampetry. 7 anglers fished a Peril evening league practice match on Wed 7th May. Winner on the night was Keith Theobald, the most unprepared angler of the 7. Deciding to target the bream. Keith got out his mixing bowl to find no groundbait, so pellet was the only option. Needing a lighter line for silvers he could only find a size 22 hook to line - this unconventional pairing of size 22 hook and pellet worked on the night with Keith weighing in 18lb of silver fish. Second was Gerry Blunt 16lb 8oz and 3rd was Mike Berntsen 8lb. The Peril evening league begins this Thursday 15th May, 5.30 draw.

Sections were won by Mike Berntsen (GBMV) 28lb 12oz and Dave George (Dorset Raiders) 19lb 12oz.

Latest from Foxcotte (30/12/07)
With fewer frosts this week, the new arrivals have been feeding and the larger Bream have been seen swimming in a shoal of around 60 Carp. The water has a tinge of colour and plenty of clear spots to fish to. Club Bailiff Gerry Blunt fished peg 17 on Friday afternoon. To begin with, fishing the waggler tight to the island using red maggot on the hook, Gerry began to catch Roach, and as the light began to fade Gerry came in to mid water catching one a chuck - a total of 12-13lb of Roach and Rudd - not bad for an afternoon session. Les Thirlaway fished peg 19 on the same afternoon catching 6 good sized Roach on the pole, using red maggot. Les's total catch was around 2lb. On Saturday, Peter Curry fished peg 19 and caught about 2lb of Roach on the waggler again using red maggot. The fish have been fed weekly on maggot since the start of the winter so it's a good bait to try if you're after a net of silver fish.
