Sam Hook League – Orford – Saturday 22nd November

Posted by admin - 26/11/08 at 08:11 am

Orford – Saturday 22nd November

A freezing South Westerly with the odd snow shower gave us the ideal conditions for some specimen fish to come out of this prime venue. As it happened the lack of tide became its undoing with fish at the start and at the end but a frozen barren period during the majority of the day. A couple of specimens appeared but nothing really serious from a reasonable turnout of 11 catching 213 fish which was 30 more than previous match.

With codling showing in numbers those who have the right bait and casting abilities will always score and this was shown to be true at this venue. Gary “big eels” Medler took top spot with 17lb 14 1/2oz from 21 fish including a share of heaviest flat & round (dab/codling) with 3 others. Second spot went to John “steady” Carter with 13lb 4oz from 13 fish including share of heaviest round (codling) followed by Paul “pakefied” Tovell with 11lb 7 1/2oz from 29 fish.

With just 2 winter matches left Kevil (145 points) still leads the way even after a faltering Orford performance, followed by Tony (139) and a closing Gary (137). Last match is the Xmas Fayre so please let Paul know if you will be at this match.

CBVSAC Match 10 – Pensarn – Sunday 23rd November 2008

Posted by admin - 24/11/08 at 06:11 am

A dozen bravehearts turned up at Pensarn to fish in atrocious conditions, but the weather was so bad it proved impossible to hold the match.

After a discussion about alternative venues, we decided that in these weather conditions it would be more or less the same anywhere else, and we decided to cancel the match and count the best results from 8 of the 9 matches already held to decide the league championship.

Norman Dorling had a significant lead, and won by 7 points from Gary McLeod, with Dave Mitchell in 3rd.

Janet Dorling took the ladies` championship, and Thomas Jones, as the only junior to have fished a match, won the junior title.

The team champions were Norman Dorling and Gary McLeod, with Norman winning the K.O. cup, and Gary the Trevor Davies cup.

The heaviest weight trophy was won by Dave Mitchell.

Sam Hook League North Beach Yarmouth, Beaconsfield Road – Monday 10th November

Posted by admin - 17/11/08 at 09:11 am

A damp breezy South Westerly gave us the perfect conditions on an ebbing tide to continue the double figure catches. Unfortunately, the lack of tide at the start and weed near the end put paid to our great run. A handful of codling appeared but not enough to create the weights of previous matches. Another depleted turnout of 10 managed 183 fish which was 66 less than last match.

Continuing his podium form, Kevil “bassman” Chilvers (peg 13) took top honours with 9lb 9oz from 27 fish closely followed by Alan “chippy” Doy (3) with 9lb 2oz from 23 fish. Final podium slot went to Mark “the quiet one” Gooch (2) with 8lb 9oz from 23 fish.

Has the bubble burst at Gt. Yarmouth or was it just wrong place wrong tide. That we shall never know as we just have the Xmas Fayre at Pakefield for our last evening match of this campaign!!!
