Pike Comp 2016

Hi All
As usual the Pike comp was fished in Carton estate many thanks to the estate management for continued support with the hosting of this event & during 2016 the hosting of the Sedge Shield, again a big thank you to the carton House management for extending this welcome to us it was very much appreciated. Also thank you to Rob Love for helping this happen as well.

The Pike comp was fished on a lovely November day with sun all day, a chilly eastern breezy kept every one awake though. Donal as usual dished up some lovely burgers & sausages at lunch time many thanks to him for his constant support. The competition was won in the end by Martin Murray who had a really good day with the toothy critters, well done Martin & all who fished on the day.

Green Peter & Last Chance

Hi All
As many of you already know we had a bit of a disaster where lake competitions were concerned last year both the Green peter & last chance competitions were cancelled due to horrid conditions.           It was hoped an opportunity to fish both comps would happen before the end of the season but the conditions twarted use at every turn, so for the first time in many years both lake comps were not fished and hence no winner a sad situation lets hope 2017 is nicer to use where lake fishing is concerned.

The Sedge Shield

Hi All
The sedge shield was fish on the Carton estate as planed with a fine BBQ before hand, many thanks to Donal for all the hard work cooking the food.
It was a quite breezy evening with not much of a hatch catch rates were poor due to the tough conditions, however some anglers had success most notably Anton Hokera who won the competition on the night which also closed out the league for this year, also being won by Anton, he put a lot of effort in this year and deserves his success well done Anton.
the rerun of the green peter & the Last Chance will be fished on the same dates before the end of September.
