Match Update 5
Match report by Steve Meades:
There was a good turnout at The Lilies with 6 anglers competing on West Lake in the first Weekend League match of 2024.
Bites were slow to start with, Julie getting the first one and losing it near the end willow tree, she did like the baskets quite a lot but still managed to get her gear back, Julie lost about 3 fish in all.
Peter also lost fish.
Mick and Allan couldn’t get a bite.
Chris kept on losing fish.
After trying everything and with just 50 minutes to go, Steve got one on his only bite, to land a good 9 lbs 2 ozs Mirror Carp, the only fish to be caught all day.
Well done Steve
Mike Waite
