VETERANS MATCH – TOCKENHAM LAKE – 11TH AUGUST 2011

The Veterans match was held at Tockenham on Thursday 11th August. The weather was overcast with sunny periods but windy during the afternoon. The match was won by Dave Baker fishing peg number 19 and amongst his total weight of 31lbs was a 9lb 3oz Carp. The lake did not fish particularly well and out of the 37 who fished, 28 weighed in. The prize giving took place immediately after the match at The White Hart at Lyneham with an excellent buffet prepared by Sandra. The presentation of prizes were made by Callum Dicks of Bristol Angling Centre who is the world champion for anglers under 22, and additional gifts were provided by MAVER. We extend our grateful thanks to them for their contribution. Dave Curtis who organised the match together with his helpers are congratulated for a truly good and enjoyable day.

Help the Heroes Match - Tockenham Resevoir Sunday 27th June

Members of the Amalgamated Fisheries Ltd organiseds a blind pairs fishing match at Tockenham Reservoir in Wiltshire on Sunday 27th June. There were 22 anglers taking part and we added an extra £2 to each ticket in aid of Help for Heroes, plus Amalgamated Fisheries Ltd very kindly donated their £4 peg fee for each person to the cause. Therefore I am pleased to say that we have raised £132 for Help for Heroes.

The results of the blind pairs match are as follows:-

Individually Paul Barnfield won on the day with 51lb 02oz. He was opposite the point on the left hand bank and he fished a feeder across with pellet and small boilies for his brilliant bag of Bream and Carp.
Jerry Pocock also did brilliantly, he finished 2nd with 41lb 7oz of Carp and some smaller fish, unfortunately for Jerry one of his Carp went back in the lake before it got weighed.
Les Williams finished in 3rd place with another great weight of 39lb 13oz of Bream and Carp which he took on the waggler and maggot

But the star pairs on the day were:-

1st Pair Jerry Pocock 41lb 7oz and Keith Bilder 25lb 14ozs with a total of 21 points.

Jerry pegged towards the top on the right hand side of the lake where it was very slow to start, He caught carp on pellet and boilies tight to the inside on a pole.
Keith was towards the top of the left hand bank and he caught smaller fish steadily all day on a pole with soft pellet on the hook.

1st pair Jerry Pocock and Keith Builder 21 points.
2nd pair Les Williams Steve Mayberry 19 points.
3rd pair Kevin Dicks and Darren Gillman 17 points
4th pair Dave Thomas and Robin Guy 16 points
Joint 5th pair Lee Malin and John Smith 15 points
Joint 5th pair Paul Barnfield and Jamie Britt 15 points

Potos: The winning pair Jerry Pocock......Keith Bilder then the winning individual Paul Barnfield.
