Match 1> 24/4/05(Springwater)
On a very bright day with a freezing east wind. the fishery did not fish
as it had on previous matches.
Charlie Roberts with a bonus 1lb 1oz Roach was second with 1lb 8oz.
John Smoat also with a1lb 5oz Roach and an other about 14oz, won the match with
4lb11oz.
By 1pm the fish disappeared and all that was caught was the odd fish, the wind
also eased and it turned into a very
warm and sunny day, with some of the anglers getting sun burnt.
I think it was to early to fish this venue and it could do with an other 4 to 6
weeks to warm up and get some plant growth.
Match 2> 8/5/05(Magiscroft)
After a freezing night and a normal Glasgow summer's day, Freezing wind ,hail
stones E.t.c. The match
on the Quarry did not turn up the weights expected. With a couple of skimmers
and 30 odd small Carp
John Smoat won with 3lb 5oz just ahead of Charlie Roberts with 2lb 8oz. John
Keir was third with
1lb 15oz and in last place Willie Harper with 1lb 4oz. Due to the cold
conditions none of the better
fish put in an appearance and we all look forward to the next time when the
weather and fish have warmed up.
Match 3> 22/5/05(Torancebridge/back to Cadder)
On a warm sunny/rainy day with good bit of colour in the water.
Feeding hemp and caster it was a bit slow but the fish started to come.
Due to the fact that John Keir bought maggots instead of Pinkies,
we could not feed to much old pinkie, most fish came on single pinkie.
In the last hour I tried some Ground bait and the fish started to come a bit
quicker.
1st John Smoat 1lb
11oz
2nd John Keir 10oz
It would have been better to start with ground bait and loose feeding pinkies.
Match 4>5/6/05(Stables/dead tree)
On a humid overcast day with good colour
in the water.
Starting with hemp and caster small Roach came to single Pinkie.
John Keir had a decent Perch of 6oz. Tried ground bait but only caught
3/4 small roach with the odd better Roach 2oz before they disappeared for
20 minutes or so.
