Match Update 16
Eight anglers arrived on Saturday at The Lilies for our Horizon Big Match, apparently there was also a game of football being played that weekend, but the players were not of the star quality attending our match.
Bearing in mind summer is upon us when July is often uncomfortably hot, on the day there was a distinct chill in the air, hence all but the most hardy donned jackets over the top of their tee shirts.
Dave G was first off with a 1+ lb Carp, quickly followed by Pete who landed an attractive and distinctive grass Carp of 3+ lbs.
Steve waited most of the day for a single bite which he converted into an 8+lbs Carp.
Chis did well by catching two Carp, a 10+lbs and 11+lbs for biggest fish.
Mick had two near misses, with two good fish on, both of which executed their well-planned escapes.
Julie, Mike and Allan didn’t even get that close.
Overall, it was one of those days where the West Lake residents seemed a bit moody and rather reluctant to get on the feed.
