Coarse Angling Regional reports

SOUTHERN - Frobury Farm Fishery, 26th September 2009

This years event proved to be a walk in the park for Fred Gill who caught from the off to catch Carp on the method feeder for a winning weight of 77 lb. 12oz. The remainder had more of a conventional match having to wait an hour or more for their first bite and trying to entice a couple more bites from the remaining four hours.

Roger Sargeant’s 4 carp for 22 lb. 12oz. just pushing Bob Smethurst’s 4 carp for 20 lb. 8oz. into third position. Steve Alder took fourth place with 3 carp for 15 lb. 2oz.

All the fish fell to feeder tactics.

A full listing of the results is below along with the qualifiers. Congratulations go to the qualifiers who will represent the Southern Region in next years final which will be fished at Burton Joyce on the River Trent and will be held on 16 September 2010.

CSSC SOUTHERN REGION – CHARITY FUN MATCH

FISHED AT STACEY’S MARKET LAKE

WEDNESDAY 19 MAY 2010 - ORGANISER ROGER SARGEANT

With 40lb needed to frame on Sunday and similar pleasure weights on the Monday and Tuesday leading up to this match, expectations of a few fish were buoyant. But come the day, a high sun and barely a ripple on the water meant all hopes were soon dashed.

After two hours without a bite Fred Gill was resolved to another blank on his portfolio, when out of the blue a bream took his offering of corn which was steadily followed by ten carp up to 10lb to give Fred a winning weight of 67lb 10 oz. Fred caught on corn or pellet over corn and pellet feed.

Eamonn Capocci fishing corn, over ground bait laced with pellet, pinkies and corn, tempted skimmers to 2lb, plus a 5lb carp for the second weight of 14lb 2 oz. Bob Ponton fishing maggot over ground bait caught two bream and a skimmer early and then had to wait until the last ten minutes to land a 5lb carp; this helped him into third place with 12lb 7 oz thus pushing Andy Stewart with 11lb 10 oz into fourth. Andy caught an 8lb carp within ten minutes of starting (taking twenty five minutes to land) quickly followed by a bream. Unfortunately for Andy not another bite.

The highlight of the event was the effort put in by all of the competitors to raise a total of £1760 for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Service. Special thanks must go to Keith Brown and J. Stacey & Son for the use of the water, also Tackle Up of Fleet, Basingstoke Angling Centre, Tadley Angling and Thatcham Angling Centre for their donation of fishing tackle as raffle prizes. Very many thanks to everyone involved.

SOUTH WEST - 29/06/10 at Viaduct Fishery, Somerton

Thirty anglers entered this year’s qualifier held at Viaduct Fishery Somerton. Anglers were split into three sections on Campbell and Cary Lakes with the top two anglers in each section representing the South West in the National team final. In addition to qualification there were prizes for anglers with the top three weights overall, the winner and runner up in each section.

The weather was hot and muggy with intermittent heavy showers which pushed oxygen levels for the fishery down to 2/3 of its normal level. Consequently fishing was, in the main, hard. Pete Watkins however made light of the difficult conditions to catch consistently from peg 115 on Campbell adopting an 8mm pellet and bomb approach. A change to waggler tactics, again with an 8mm pellet fished at a depth of only 12 inches, boosted his catch by over 30lb in the last 30 minutes to give him a winning weight of 101lb 6oz. Second place overall went to Simon Perkins who also adopted a pellet and bomb approach from Cary Lake peg 85. His 12 large carp weighed 85lb 9oz from what turned out to be the most difficult section on the day. Gary Webber, who had won this event in the prior three years, showed his experience by varying his tactics throughout the day to weigh in 79lb 12oz from peg 112 on Cambell and just push Mark Gaylard (peg 111) out of third place.
