BOURNE LEAGUE
In the first round of the Bourne Winter league fished on the North Level Drain, several areas were frozen and ice had to be broken before fishing could commence, yet it was the really shallow sections that produced the leading weights. Considering the temperature barely managed to get above freezing point all day the venue fished reasonably well with just one blank recorded according to match organiser John Spalton. I did hear in the early part of this week that quite a few resorted to catching stickleback though, so perhaps not quite as good as some would have us believe. Top rod from the shallow section close to Swan Bridge was Steve Slater. Fishing for the VDE “B” side Steve fished bread punch all day taking small roach for a match winning 8lb 9oz. Runner up from the same section was Peterborough rod Andy Ellis, he got out of his sickbed after a bout of the flu bug that seems to be doing the rounds right now. Thankfully he was kept busy for most of the day, fishing squatt and pinkie over groundbait for 7lb 9oz. The ever consistent Chris Jenkinson came third with 7lb 2oz. VDE “B” take an early lead in this four match series winning on the day with 24 points. It was a close call though with the chasing pack bunched up tightly behind. Result: S Slater, VDE B, 8lb 9oz; 2 A Ellis, Peterborough, 7lb 9oz; 3 C Jenkinson, VDE, 7lb 2oz; 4 D West, Lincs County, 7lb 1oz; 5 M Roper, Sensas Mark One, 6lb 11oz; 6 J Summerton, RAF, 6lb 8oz. Teams: 1 VDE B, 24pts; 2 Sensas Mark One White, 25; 3 Sensas Mark One Black, 26; 4 Peterborough, 30.STANJAY OPEN
Those that failed to turn up missed an excellent match run by Stanjay Sports of Godmanchester on the now prolific Old Nene at Ramsey St Mary’s. Despite having to break upto half an inch of ice, roach fed throughout the match length. The only problem is that the main bulk of fish seem to be at the top end of the venue in the early numbers. However there were still some good nets of small fish taken from the lower end making for an excellent match result. Match organiser Roy Whincup took the last peg in the bag and it just happened to be the flyer peg 1. He made no mistake netting 17lb 4oz of roach all taken at four metres on the whip with pinkie over groundbait. It was much the same for all the leading contenders, close by was runner up Kyle Jerrom with 16lb 14oz followed by team mate Rob Lincoln on 11lb 2oz. Overall winner of the three match Christmas series was Dave Thornton, the Wades Match Group rod scored just five penalty points to take a comfortable victory. Roy Whincup took second place on nine points thanks to a big weight aggregate over the three matches. Result: 1 R Whincup, FM Stanjay, 17lb 4oz; 2 K Jerrom, Browning Hotrods, 16lb 14oz; 3 R Lincoln, Browning Hotrods, 11lb 2oz; 4 G Worker, FM Stanjay, 10lb 14oz. 5 D Stones, Wades MG, 10lb 13 ½ oz; 6 J Pace, Browning Hotrods, 10lb 13oz.WHITTLESEY AC
Whittlesey AC started their 2009 campaign on the Carrot Wash section but found it tough going. Top rod with 3lb 10 oz was Paul Wright, he concentrated on a small fish approach in the cold conditions and was rewarded with bites for most of the match on squatt and pinkie over groundbait. Andy Lawrence came second with 1lb 13oz followed by Dave White on 1lb 3oz p>TYD GOTE AC
The Tydd Gote midweek open on the North level Drain fished quite well and there was a good turn out as anglers were keen to try out the venue in preparation for the weekends Bourne League opener. Pole position went to Shaun Stimpson, the local rod took a net of small roach on pinkie weighing in 7lb 13oz. Runner up was Wisbech angler John Bates just behind on 7lb 8oz followed by John Spalton with 6lb 1oz. Sundays club match on the same venue saw weights dip badly, Bob Fitzjohn winning with just 1lb 4 ½ oz. Dave Parlett came second on 1lb 2oz followed by Dave Sippetts and Colin Burton with 1lb 1 ½ oz.RAMSEY ACA PIKE MATCH
Even our local pike anglers found it tough going at the weekend. In the Ramsey AS pike match Keith Rayment found five fish willing to feed, he took the top spot with a weight of 22lb 9oz. Runner up was Shaun Fulcher he had the biggest fish of the day weighing in at 15lb 1oz and together with a smaller sample finished on 19lb 8oz. Third place went to Paul Brockhurst with three fish for 10lb 9oz
DEEPING ST JAMES
Anglers fishing Deeping St James AC’s stretch of the Nene at Wansford on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day were taking double figure weights of dace and roach from most pegs, with a 15lb catch coming from peg 20, but it was all change for the weekend when the club fished their last match of 2008 on the venue. Several heavy frosts leading up to the match saw the fish refusing to feed in any numbers. Russell Hole landing one small roach and a chub for the winning weight of 1lb 14oz from peg 20. Fishing his first match with the Deeping club was Mick Linnell, he got his name on the prize list with a second place weight of 1lb 6oz, three small chub from peg 17, followed by Rob Allen who weighed just 7oz for third place.JVAC
A partly-frozen Six Islands Lake at Decoy proved tough for a near full-house of competitors in the JVAC Fur and Feather match. Most of the fish seemed to be gathered close to the car park, but even there not many were feeding, with several foul-hooked and lost. Not that match winner Steve Smith was complaining. The popular club member drew peg 1 and pole fished with maggot to take a respectable 37lb. Opposite on peg 23 was Andy Gausden, who also used pole and maggot for his second-placed 29lb 4oz catch of 11 carp, while Kevin Wilmot was top weight from the other end of the lake with 27lb 5oz, six carp and two tench taken on waggler and maggot from peg 5. ..TYDD GOTE AC
There have been quiet a few fixtures on the North Level Drain and by the end of the season several more big matches have been arranged. I must admit to getting it wrong about the Whittlesey Dyke, I had a feeling it would fail to produce good weights with constant pressure but it did. Let’s hope the North Level can do the same. Just before Christmas Tydd Gote fished at Clough Bridge Dave Parlett took the top spot with a very respectable 11lb 5oz net of roach taken on red maggot. Not far behind was Tony Moll with 10lb 7oz, followed by Ray Groom with 8lb 13oz. Last Wednesdays match saw Mick Evered well out in front in the clubs Sunday fixture, he took roach to 8oz on the pole with red maggot. John Taylor came second with 12lb 7oz followed by Tony Moll on 12lb 2oz. Sunday’s winter league match fished at Clough saw weights a little lower due to the cold spell of weather. Mick Asker took the honours with 7lb 6oz of small roach taken on pinkie over groundbait from peg 1. Ray Groom came second with 6lb 9oz followed by Andy Greenwood who put a level 5lb to the scales.Result:
