Burley Fields Silvers Only, 21 Feb (10 pegs)

As is the norm at Burley Fields we were greeted on arrival by the sight of a pleasure angler on the lake even though I had asked the bailiff to put up a notice. Fortunately, the guy was still setting up his carp rods and took it quite well avoiding the need to unleash Darren North (just as well Dean wasn't there). At that point the bailiff showed up and pointed out that the sign must have blown away in the night which somewhat pissed off our new friend as he said that the bailiff had watched him carry his carp gear down the bank at 7am!
The match started off well with most catching from the all-in. Tucked away in the bottom corner of the car park bank Knowle West's favourite pheasant beater, Alan Healy made the best of his cracking draw and got off to a flying start catching quality roach and perch from the off.
Also quick off the mark were Neil Mercer, Chris Zak (venue expert) and Ryan Jordan who were all pegged on the better roadside bank. Unfortunately though, after the first hour, the quality roach backed off the pole line and bites all around the lake were hard to come by.
The final result was decided by numbers of better quality fish which meant that Alan, with some decent skimmers and 4 specimen perch was the clear winner followed by Ryan with one proper bream and some good sized skimmers.


Paul Reed on the infamous Barbel peg which, unfortunately for "The Reedinator", failed to produce any barbel today apart from the one he stunned while plumbing up!

1. Alan Healy ...... peg 4 ...... 16-13
2. Ryan Jordan .......... 9 ...... 13-7
3. Chris Zak .............. 10 ...... 10-6

Viaduct, Match Lake, 7 Feb (10 Pegs)

With a good draw, corner peg 49, and also the golden peg, things were looking good, for once, for Psv's vice chairman Ryan Jordan.
At the start Ryan chose to fish a cage feeder with a corn and meat mix up to the corner of the island while his pole lines settled and within minutes he was into a good sized skimmer on hair-rigged meat. This was followed over the next hour by three similar sized fish before the feeder swim died leaving him to scratch around for bits on his pole lines.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the lake, part-time pheasant beater
Alan Healy on 42 was steadily building a weight of silvers on the pole and Psv veteran Bob Warren, on 51, had netted a 3lb carp on straight lead and maggot early on and was also catching small roach on the pole.
With an hour to go Ryan's early lead was fading fast as Mark Radford,
Steve Burgess and Adam Caswell were all catching. As ever Adam had spent the best part of the match fishless and bankwalking before realising (with a bit of help from mark Radford) that there were fish in his peg after all ..... just not in the spot he'd been fishing in! Eventually though luck played it's part for Ryan when he managed to foul-hook a 4-10 carp from the corner margin and seal the win and the £86 golden peg money on top.




Ryan Jordan looks pleased with his win but now faces the dilemna of whether to spend his winnings on this month's rent or 34 doner kebabs!
