UPPING your PB by 4lb with a 14-10 bream should be enough for most people...but not Dougie – he had TWO monster slabs of the same weight in one night!
And the Carpin Capers man added a 10-7, which also beat his previous PB, for good measure.
But it wasn’t quite that simple. He had already endured several blanks on the same water. Fake corn on a size 10, over a bed of boilies and particles ‘spombed’ out to a silt patch, did the trick.
HELP put a scumbag where he belongs – in a police cell!
Some low-life is going round Nene’s waters posing as a bailiff and selling fake season tickets to unsuspecting anglers... doling out scruffy, hand-written, receipts for £15.
Defrauding gullible punters and the club, he is particularly annoying to Nene as a legitimate full-rate ticket costs £38!
Secretary Neil Stafford said: “We do not sell season tickets on the bank. They are only available from Stuart Eggleton on 01604 582362, or from various tackle shops.”
Anyone with a clue to the culprit’s identity should contact Stuart, or police on the 101 non-emergency number.
This Sunday, June 16, sees a brand new river season starting. Tight lines. It also sees the Environment Agency allowing anglers to take a friend fishing without need for a rod licence: just download a voucher from the EA’s ‘take a friend fishing’ website.
At 78 granddad Ron Kyte – who co-founded town’s specimen group – is still banking big fish with his trusty centrepin.
A Castle Ashby trip saw him combine that with a 30-year-old ‘soft’ Drennan float rod to land commons of 24 and 24-8.
He said: “I know there are 30s in there, and I will get one yet.”
Stanwick’s Mallard is still producing 20+ carp in fine style. Pat Wheat had the catch of the week with 49 carp to 29lb, 29 tench to 6lb and 30 bream to 10-4...
Jeff Rice won the county old boys’ Canons do with 74-8 of carp as Paul Lafflin had 39-4 and Alf Gillard 28-2.
