Simple Match Fishing Forum

Well our final match at Colemans after many years - the current plan is that the fishery will be changing to a members/syndicate type water at the end of the year. Today, after some confusion about which lake we were on, we fished (old) Stepfield pegs 2-24. Weather breezy, initially sunny, then sunny periods, then cloudy. The lake fished reasonably well as a whole, and most had a steady day. The carp had their heads down most of the time, and with tails swishing in very shallow margins, quite a few anglers were frustrated with foul hookers, much spooking in shallow water, or their bait being ignored despite the obvious munching by the water cows. Those who, despite this, found a way to persuade them to bite occasionally, prospered most. First today was Keith on peg 22 with a fine 138lb well ahead of the field. Josh continued his very good season with 94lb from peg 16, and yours truly was 3rd with 87lb from peg 14.

1st Keith peg 22, 138-08lb
