Bailiff's Diary: w/e 1st April 2011
Well it’s that time of the year again, it comes round so fast now!! The first week can be a bit hit ‘n’ miss, as we know, weather wise the week began rather unsettled, some sun to follow and decent temperatures too, 9-10 degrees at night, highs of 20 degrees.
Fishing wise it was a slow start for Lakes 1 and 3, with more fish towards the end of the week, we had a few 50’s and a 60lber from Lake 2, blinding bunch of lads, hopefully things will pick up a bit for next week.
Many thanks to Steve Rand the volunteer bailiff this week, who did a real good job, Matt tells us!!

Lake 1
<<< Top Rod was Matt Stone in the ‘Snags’ with a haul of 21 fish inc. 8x30’s and 4x40’s of 41lbs-14ozs and 42lbs-5ozs both Commons, and a brace of Mirrors of 43lbs and 44lbs. Matt used 15kgs of Tangy Peach boilies for the week!

It would seem by all accounts that a vast majority of the fish where down the ‘Snags’ end of the Lake. Two swims up in the ‘Slope’ Dan Horton managed to take 9 fish inc. 4x30’s on the Grange CSL 27kgs in fact!!
Anthony Hutcherson >>> in the ‘Chimneys’ only caught 4 starting from 39lbs then 2x40lbers of 40lbs and 41lbs Common, then topped it off with a 57lb Mirror, all taken on the Cell, 30kgs was used again.

Then in ‘3 Steps’ <<< Tommy Hutcherson, only had 2 fish, a Common of 53lbs and a Mirror of 55lbs on 15kgs of the Cell!!
Other than that it was a bit slow!! One group failed to show through illness, which only left 9 anglers on the Lake, which gives the fish a bit of space.
