Points Match 5, Mepal, 16th August 2020 Our previous match here on 7th June had been a disappointment for many, with 6 DNWs and only The Mepal Marvel recording double figures. This had persuaded several of this week’s challengers to try the Marvel’s double worm feeder [...]
Points Match 4 Burwell Lode Upware 2nd August 2020 The Lode has not been fished much this year due to the significant level of weed, in the week prior to the match it was in fact covered by a blanket of weed sitting just below the [...]
Points Match 3 The Lark 19th July 2020 A lot of work was undertaken by a number of people to prepare the swims for the 16 people that fished the match. Special mention to Trevor who has led the work that has needed to be done [...]
Points Match 2, The Old West, 5th July 2020 Trevor had to check his watch as Paul managed to turn up a whole 5minutes before the draw. This obviously unsettled Trevor as he announced that we were going to fish a five hour match from 9am [...]
Points Match 1, The Cam, Baits Bite, 21st June 2020 Waiting for the draw we watched streams of bubbles rising from the depths for as far as the eye could see, was a large shoal of bream/skimmers patrolling? Thoughts went to last year’s new boy Russ [...]
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 [...]
