Fred Sandland Cup

Hunter's Hall 18th August 2024 

​

The annual Fred Sandland Cup  was fished on our club lake at Hunter’s Hall. On the day we had to contend with a blustery breeze and bright sunshine, both of which contributed to it being quite a difficult day fish wise. A number of tench and  a few bream were caught, but silver fish were hard to come by.  Kevin Nimmo had top weight with 21lbs 13ozs, I was 2nd with 16lbs 9ozs and Bob Walmsley was 3nd with 10lbs 10ozs.

ACAS v BSDAS

Taylor's Top Lake 7th August 2024 ​

​

Our August inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished on the Top Lake at Taylor’s. Although the winning weights were similar to the club match a few days earlier the majority of us struggled to catch a few fish. Team wise  things were very close with Abbey just winning with 71 points to Bishop’s Stortford’s 66. Individually, Phil Whitmill came 1st with 23-11-0, Rob Calderon was 2nd with 21lbs 11ozs and Peter Green was 3rd with 21lbs 7ozs.

BBQ Pairs Match

Taylor's Top Lake 27th July 2024

​

Despite a late change to the advertised date we still had a reasonable turnout for this year’s BBQ match, with 12 pairs and 5 individuals  taking part. The fishing on the Top Lake for the pairs event was okay given the hot conditions, with a number of bream and the odd F1 being caught. Jean & Peter Green were 1st with 25lbs 10ozs,  Michelle & Stuart Prosser were 2nd with 14lbs 9ozs, and Lynn & Alan Burnt were 3rd with 13lbs 14ozs. In the individual event on the Car Park Lake weights were lower with Paul Sales coming 1st with 4lbs 13ozs, Doug Clark 2nd with 4lbs 6ozs and Bob Walmsley  3rd  4lbs 2ozs. The Lil Williams Trophy for the best weight by a lady member was won by Sally Ann Pearson with 7lbs 5ozs. The evening BBQ food and drinks were excellent as usual and everyone had an enjoyable evening.  Finally, a big thank you to all those club members who put in a lot of effort to make the event happen.

ACAS v BSDAS

Hunter's Hall 5th June 2024

​

The latest inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished on our Hunter’s Hall Lake. It was a day of flat calm conditions and bright sunshine which made things pretty hard going for most of those taking part. However, there were a few decent bream and the odd tench weighed in. Team wise it was quite close with Bishop’s Stortford coming out on top with 70 points to our 63. Individually Phil Whitmill was 1st with 22lbs 8ozs, Rob Calderon was 2nd with 17lbs 15ozs and Steve Foster was 3rd with 16lbs 1oz.

Fishpools Trophy

Taylor's Car Park Lake 9th June 2024

​

This year’s Fishpools Trophy was fished on the Car Park Lake at Taylor’s. In the lead up to the match the lake had been fishing really well with good weights coming from all round the lake. But, on the day with no wind and bright sunshine the fish completely switched off. We all struggled for bites throughout, with even the small silver fish hard to find. I ended with the top weight with 6lbs 11ozs, Bob Fox was 2nd with 6lbs 1oz and Peter Green was 3rd with 2lbs 14ozs.

This year’s Arthur Tully Trophy was fished at the clubs Hunter’s Hall lake, the weather was quite warm, but with an awkward north westerly breeze.

Carrington Cup

Nazeing Car Park Lake 5th May 2024

​

The Carrington Cup was fished on the Car Park lake at Nazeing. Conditions were pretty good with just a gentle breeze on the lake. However, it was a very slow start for most of those taking part and it wasn’t until the afternoon that  a few good quality fish started to be caught, especially from the noted pegs.  I had top weight on the day with 63lbs 12ozs, Tony Parker was 2nd with 38lbs 7ozs and Peter Green was 3rd with 37lbs 3ozs.

ACAS v BSDAS

Beggar's Hall 1st May 2024

 

Our latest inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished at Beggars Hall. This is one of Bishop’s Stortford’s club lakes and has a stock of good sized carp. In the match the carp fed quite well with decent weights coming from the better pegs. However, for those not catching carp it was a difficult day. Team wise it was a win for Bishop’s Stortford who had 75 points to our 60. Individually, Peter Green was 1st with an excellent weight of 135lbs 1ozs, Fred Hunt was 2nd with 55lbs 14ozs and Rob Calderon was 3rd with 40lbs 14ozs.

Proudlove Cup

Hunter's Hall 21st April 2024

​

The latest club competition was fished at our Hunter’s Hall Lake. Unfortunately, a couple of very cold nights leading up to the match and a strong northerly breeze on the day had a big impact on how the lake fished. While the majority of us  struggled to catch in the difficult conditions, there were still some good individual weights of bream and tench. Bob Walmsley had an excellent weight of 59lbs 14ozs for 1st place, Dave Selllck , was 2nd with 29lbs 13ozs and Stuart Curtis was 3rd with 18lbs 3ozs.

Burrough's Cup

Taylor's Car Park Lake 7th April 2024

​

The Car Park Lake at Taylor’s was the venue for the Burrough’s Cup, our first competition of the new season. After many months in the doldrums the recent restocking made all the difference to how the lake fished. Despite the very strong winds there were some excellent weights of mostly bream, plus a few tench. Top on the day was Dave Sellick with a superb catch of 96lbs 6ozs, Alan Fox was 2nd with 37lbs 2ozs and Darren Marder was 3rd with 36lbs 9ozs.

 ACAS v BSDAS

Taylor's Top Lake 3rd April 2024

​

Our latest inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished on the Top Lake at Taylor’s. On the day the weather conditions were quite challenging with blustery showers on and off all day. The fishing was also quite difficult with only a few bream being caught and most of the weights being made up of F1’s.  Team wise it was a very easy win for Bishop’s Stortford who had 73 points to our 41. Individually, Ray Calderon was 1st with 23ibs 5ozs, Fred Hunt was 2nd with 21lbs 5ozs and I was 2nd with 13lbs 2ozs.

6th March 2024   

​

Our latest inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished on their Hall Farm lake. Despite pretty good weather conditions it was tough going for most of those taking part, with the resident carp proving difficult to tempt. Team wise it was a comfortable win for Bishop’s Stortford who scored 61 points to our 44. Individually I had the top weight with 31lbs 1oz, Tony Cruci of Bishop’s Stortford was 2nd with 16lbs 14ozs and Ray Calderon also of Bishop’s Stortford 3rd with 16lbs 2ozs.

Officers Cup Taylor's Car Park Lake

3rd March 2024

​

The Officers Cup is our final club competition of the season and was fished on the Car Park Lake at Taylor’s. Yet again we had a hard frost in the morning prior to the match, which didn’t help the catch rates. However it was good to see a number of the bream and tench that had been stocked over the winter being caught. I had the top weight with 18lbs 13ozs , Bob Walmsley was 2nd with 16lbs 6ozs and Peter Green was 3rd with 5lbs 1oz. This match was also the final of the club knockout competition in which I beat Tony Smith.

Club Match Taylor's Top Lake

25th February 2024

 

The Top Lake at Taylor’s was the venue for this match. Following several weeks of mild weather we were greeted with a big drop in water temperature and heavy frost on the morning. This inevitably impacted on our catch rates. On the day it was all about catching F1’s with the resident bream failing to show. I had top weight with 32lbs 3ozs, Darren Marder was 2nd with 13lbs 2ozs and Jeff Pearson 3rd with 7lbs 9ozs.
