Sweepstake Match 3, Reach Lode. Upware, 15th December 2019 We were down on numbers for this match but those missing it also missed a good day’s fishing! Despite near freezing overnight temperatures for the past week and a blustery wind across the left shoulder, i.e. not [...]
Points Match 13 Burwell Lode, Upware, 5th January 2020 This wasn’t quite the day anticipated from catch reports of the past couple of weeks, a slightly lower temperature and difficult cross wind seemed to suppress all bites for the first ½ hour or so, for everyone [...]
Points Match 12, The Cam, Clayhithe, 1st December 2019 As in previous years this early December match delivered near-perfect weather and with plenty of fish topping optimism was high. Early pre-match advice was given re peg spacing, allowing Trevor to fit everyone onto the moorings. Suddenly [...]
Points Match 11, The Lark, Prickwillow, 3rd November 2019 First, I have a correction to the last report on our Cam match, Trevor did not drop a place because he had ‘walked the bank’ he did in fact fish the whole time and caught as much [...]
Points Match 10, The Cam, the shallows, 20th October 2019 Conditions looked perfect, slight flow and colour, minimal wind and a heavy mist to hide us meaning expectations for a good day were high. Indeed, we were not to be disappointed, most of us anyway. While [...]

Points match No. 8 Fished Burwell Lode, Upware on 22nd September 2019 Conditions were near perfect, the weed wasn’t too thick (although raking was still thought prudent in most swims) and with some colour to the water decent catches were expected. From the off it was [...]
Points Match 7, The Lark, Prickwillow, 8th September 2019 I couldn’t make this match and so cannot comment on pre match banter among the 13 who were lucky enough to be there but with Kevin now back in action it would have been entertaining! It may [...]
Points Match 6, The Cam, Horningsea, 25th August 2019 Sessions a week earlier delivering near 20 lb nets of mainly roach had raised hopes for some good match results. The weather this day however had other ideas and despite some colour and flow the intense sun [...]
Points Match 5 Block Fen 11th August 2019 Ian again could not make the match so it again falls on me to report. Ian was due to fish and was all set to turn up for an 8 o’clock draw until I mentioned the draw was [...]
