The fourth and final of the junior matches was held
on The conditions were overcast and calm, following a slightly warmer weather. Whilst conditions looked good it soon became clear that the roach were not in a feeding mood. So it was obvious that anyone getting even a bream or two would be in with a very good chance of winning. Newcomer Thomas Ibbotson stuck it out on the feeder to achieve his first win, with 2 bream and a few minute perch for a weight of 4lbs 13ozs. Jamie Moore again had the largest bream though, with quite a few hand-sized skimmers boosting his weight to 4lbs 9ozs. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the match was the two good perch caught by Sarah Barker from peg 16, with fish of 15ozs and 12ozs backed up with a few better roach and a couple of small skimmers giving her 3lbs 5ozs. Prizes were
also presented for the heaviest bream, roach and perch. Jamie again won the
prize in the bream category, and Sarah Barker winning the perch (15ozs) and
roach (5ozs) categories. One of our
senior members (Maurice Jenkinson) has donated a new shield for the Junior
Competitions Specimen Fish over the 4 match series. We decided to award this
on the basis of the percentage of the current British Record weights for each
species. Jamie Moore’s 3lbs 7ozs bream caught in the Thanks to the
generosity of several members we have the beginnings of a viable fishing
library. I have acquired about 40 DVDs and video tapes, 50 books and several
hundred back copies of magazines and I will be running a library session on
the second and fourth Monday evenings each month. DVDs, videos and books will
be available for loan from one session to the next, which should give you
ample opportunity to watch them. The magazines will be available for you to
take away without having to return them, although if you do bring them back
after you have read them I am sure other members will also find them useful
and enjoyable. Finally, a bit of “stuff”
that your parents need to know about. To comply with our
insurance requirements, rule 28 in the
Members Handbook should have read as follows: 28. Junior members under the age of 14 years must be
accompanied by a parent or a guardian or a full member, when fishing any of
the fisheries. Please ensure that you follow this rule.
