Jack got the better of his dad this week, and the rest of the pack, winning with over 10lbs to spare over second place. Jack, drawn on peg 26, pole fished shallow at 14 metres taking mainly ide on maggot and caster to end up with 42lbs 3 1/2oz. In the process he broke through the 1000lbs mark for the season. Anthony White had one of those matches you'ld sooner forget. Arriving late after over sleeping, Anthony put 30lbs 12oz of carp onto the scales off peg 5, method feeding to the far bank with hair rigged pellet as bait. However, he lost as many fish as he caught with the hook simply pulling out. Daryl Butler took third place with 23lbs 15 1/2oz; again fishing shallow for ide off peg 23.

Hackett's, 13th October, 2013.
This week there was a family double for the Danby's, as dad Mick totalled 25lbs 13 1/2oz from 8 fish out of 9 bites at peg 10 (6 carp, a bream and a skimmer falling to 8mm hair rigged pellet on straight bomb) whilst his son, Jack, weighed 20lbs 13oz from peg 38. Anthony White took third spot, thanks to a last cast 7lb carp, boosting his weight to 17lbs 1oz off peg 42.

Aldercar Lane Fishery, 6th October, 2013.
Neil Culham, drawn on peg 7, was this week's winner, netting 65lbs of ide plus carp to put 80lbs 9oz onto the scales. Targetting the ide from the off, Neil pole fished casters shallow at 10 metres, taking the carp down the edge late on in the match.
Anthony White had to settle for second spot this week. Drawn peg five next to Neil, he could only sit and watch as his line wasn't producing. However, a change to punched bread fished shallow to the far bank found the carp willing to feed, and by trying various spots along the far bank, he kept them coming in ones and twos, ended up with 63lbs 14oz.
Third place fell to Mike Fletcher off peg 39, who had carp on paste from both left and right hand margin swims.

Hemmington, New Canal, 29th September, 2013
There's no stopping Anthony White at the moment as he chalked up an impressive win at Hemmington on the New Canal. Drawn on peg 9, Anthony opted to pole fish pellets to the far bank when the wind permitted or to fish down the middle to take 44lbs of carp, backed up with 30lbs of tench, skimmers, ide and roach, to end with 74lbs 2oz.
Well behind in second place was Gary Smith who had 43lbs 11oz of carp tench and bream off peg 13, whilst Jack Danby had an expensive day's fishing, breaking two pole sctions on his way to third spot off peg 10, weighing in with a mixed bag of tench, carp and silvers for 33lbs 11oz.

Caythorpe, Trent, 22nd September, 2013.
Once again Midland found themselves on their own water and again conditions were far fron ideal with bright sunshine and clear water. Not that it bothered Anthony White, who once again showed his class winning this one to celebrate his 33rd birthday! Drawn peg three on the day, Anthony stuck with the method that won him his last match here a fortnight ago. Waggler fishing maggots over hemp, after a slow start with no fish for the first two hours, the roach eventually honed in over his bed of feed, to take 14lbs 11 1/2oz of the redfins with fish upto 10oz. At the next peg downstream, Pete Tomlinson had 6lbs 9 1/2oz of roach and perch to both stick or waggler, again using maggot as bait. Third spot fell to Martin Lacey in the bottom field, thanks to a 5lbs chub taken on stick float and caster and a few bits for 6lbs 1oz.

Lodge Farm, Signal Lake, 15th September, 2013.
Midland arrived to fish the Railway Bank on the Signal Lake to be told by the owner that the club who had booked the other side had phoned him Saturday, cancelling, due to the wearther forecast for the Sunday. As it happens the expected rain did not materialise although the high winds caused a couple of pole sections to be broken. This did not deter the fish! Winning a very close and even match, young Jack Danby drew peg 9 and set about pole fishing worm over caster close in th his right hand margin being rewarded with carp upto 5lbs in short bursts; catching 2 or 3 after each other and then blank having blank spells for 15 - 20 minutes. He weighed in with 77lbs 8oz and achieved his third victory this season. Gary Smith, drawn on peg 5, (which also won Saturday's match), took advantage of the far bank, fishing method and dead maggots ending up one fish short with a total of 74lbs 10oz. In third place, Anthony White off peg 10, had 73lbs 10z of carp close in on pole and maggots. This weight took Anthony's aggregate to over 1000lbs for the third consecutive season.

Caythorpe, Trent, 8th September, 2013.
For the second week running, Midland were fishing their own stretch of the river Trent at Caythorpe, between pegs 25 - 55.
Midland's bailiff, Paul Winfield topped this one. Drawn on one of the noted barbel pegs, Paul didn't have to wait long for his first bite as after only ten minutes he was into his first barbel of the day only for it to shed the hook after a few minutes. This encouraged Paul to stay on the feeder and he was rewarded with two samples (as well as losing another) plus 4lbs of bits to weigh 17lbs 5oz. Anthony White was next peg downstream of Paul and stuck it out with waggler to net a decent bag of roach totalling 12lbs 8oz, for second; whilst at the end peg, John Morley fished stick and maggots to take 4lbs 7oz of small roach, finishig third.

Caythorpe, Trent, 1st September, 2013.
Due to a fixture error, Midland hastily re-arranged Sunday's match to the Trent at Caythorpe between pegs 40 - 70. There were no big weights, but once again results were encouraging for the river with most anglers enjoying bites from roach and dace for most of the day. Still fresh from last week's lie in, Anthony White once again took top spot. Drawn peg 5, Anthony caught mostly 2-3oz roach with a couple of 8oz samples on both waggler and stick float with maggot as hookbait, to end up with 12lbs 1oz, narrowly ahead of Clive Williams on peg 9, who had a similar stamp of fish, falling to maggot and waggler for a weight of 11lbs 10oz.

Hackett's, 25th August, 2013.
Whilst Midland and Parkside were drawing pegs, Anthony White was fast asleep in bed and peg 47 was drawn out for him. However, starting half an hour after everyone else didn't matter as he was a convincing winner with 11 carp and 1 skimmer weighing 47lbs 11oz. These were taken on straight bomb and pellet fished over his pellet waggler line, which failed to deliver. Midland also had top weight on the car park bank with Mick Danby, off peg 15, weighing in 26lbs 15oz. Daryl Butler was third highest Midland's weight with 19lbs 12 1/2oz of skimmers on pellet feeder off peg 21.

Little John Lakes, Friar Tuck, 18th August, 2013.
In ideal conditions, Midland anglers had a frustrating day's fishing on Friar Tuck lakes with the fish reluctant to feed in earnest. In a match where several anglers could have come out top, Pete Tomlinson earned his first match win of the season. Drawn on peg 3, Pete opted to pole fish just 4 metres out on meat, to take carp up to 3 1/2 lbs, a bonus bream of 4lb and ide and barbel for 56lb 30z. Further down the same bank, Paul Nighingale off peg 11, just edged out Clive Williams on peg 23, 48lbs 8oz to 48lbs 7oz; both employing pole tactics for carp plus a few skimmers, ide and barbel. In what was also the Knock Out Cup Final, Anthony White took the honours with his 5th place, 44lbs 11oz of carp down the margin on paste from peg 25.

Mill Dam, 11th August, 2013.
For the second week running Midland were at North Scarle, although this time on the match lake at Mill Dam. Remarkably weights were almost identical to last week with five ton plus weights and 40lbs plus for last place. This venue surely takes some beating as it is not just a carp water, but holds loads of crucians, bream, roach, rudd, ide and perch should the carp not feed.
Only 2lb adrift of last week's winning weight, Anthony White pegged on 18, started on feeder, catching a dozen or so carp before venturing down the margin on paste over pellets. He caught consistently all match from both left and right margin swims to end up with 178lbs 3oz of carp, plus a few skimmers. To his left, Neil Culham on peg 16, targeted the silver fish up in the water, until crucially breaking a pole section on a carp before also trying down the side to end 125lb 14oz, 30lb of which were silver fish. Third with 103lbs 9oz of carp off peg 13 was Jack Danby who also caught down the side using paste. This just pipped the other two ton weights of Clive Williams (peg 12) with 102lbs 2oz and Pete Tomlinson (peg 24) who had 101lbs 9oz.

Royston, 4th August, 2013.
Neil Culham was a convincing winner on a day that included 4 tons and a bottom weight of 29lbs 3oz. After a slow start Neil had them crawling up his pole, by float fishing dog biscuit close to the reeds taking fish upto 6lbs in his total weight of 180lbs 9oz. Gary Smith ended second with 131lbs 4oz, having a fruitless first hour on the pellet wag, before catching close to the margin; meat being the bait to which the carp took a fancy. Anthony White had 108lbs 5oz of carp close in on paste, whilst Jack Danby also cracked the ton with 102lbs 12oz of carp caught shallow on sweetcorn.

Caythorpe, 28th July, 2013.
With the overnight rain and a tricky downstream wind, conditions were far from ideal for Midland's match at Caythorpe. However, with the extra water and colour, a few of the anglers found the odd bream willing to feed. Fairing best was Clive Williams, drawn peg 20, who managed two bream, one on feeder and one on float, plus a few dace and roach falling to float fished maggots, to weigh in with a respectable 11lbs 6 1/2oz. Kele Redwood, one of several Barnstone members invited to fish, took second spot with one decent bream plus a skimmer and two eels, all falling to feeder fished luncheon meat, totalling 8lbs 5oz. Pete Tomlinson took third with one bream and a skimmer on maggot feeder for 6lbs 8 1/2oz, while Paul Winfield also managed one bream on float, literally where he had been standing, to take fourth spot with 4lbs 14 1/2oz.

Robinswood, Lake 2, 21st July, 2013.
With the sun not putting in an appearance and a ripple on the water, plenty of bites and fish were to be had in the ideal conditions. Out in front was Gary Smith, who put a level 70lbs onto the scales to secure top spot. Drawn on peg peg 11, half way down the lake, Gary pole fished meat over caster at nine metres on the deck, to take mainly carp upto 5lbs plus the odd ide and skimmer. In second spot was Jack Danby,off peg 9, who weighed in with 58lbs 12oz of ide and skimmers by pole fishing worm over casters at 11 metres. In 3rd place, Daryl Butler, in corner peg 30, had a frustrating day, losing more than the 49lbs 8 1/2oz he placed on the scales with the carp bolting into nearside bramble bush and trashing his rigs; meat being the bait.

Hemmington, Moat,14th July, 2013
Anthony White won his second match on the trot, winning at Hemmingon on the moat lake with 68lbs 3oz of carp, pole fishing at 13 metres with either pellets or corn shallow at peg 12. Opposite him on peg 20, Mick Danby took second spot, weighing in with 54lbs 13oz, also fishing pole at 13 metres, with corn on the deck. Clive Williams took 3rd place with 50lbs 6oz of carp out of corner peg 14.

Beastie Lake, Decoy, 7th July, 2013
After almost 20 years of fishing at Decoy, Midland fished the Beastie Lake for the first time, on probably the hottest day of the year so far; but weights as ever at this complex were high, despite the number of fish cruising on the top. Anthony White opted for method feeder at peg 11, taking a steady stream of carp and F1's. In the last hour, his inside line was boiling with fish when feeding casters and he caught tench, barbel and carp virtually every put in, to finish with 111lbs 4oz. In contrast, Neil Culham, stuck with his pellet waggler approach and he too had a good second half of the match, taking carp upto 6lbs to put 101lbs 10 1/2oz on the scales for second. Third with 89lbs 10oz of pole caught carp, barbel, tench and skimmers was Pete Tomlinson off peg 30, whilst at the next peg 29, Mick Danby had the day's biggest fish a 14lb 4 1./2oz carp.

Mill Dam, Old Lake, 30th June 2013.
He may only be eighteen years old, but Jack Danby won his third match of the season with nearly seventy pound to spare, in a fish packed match at Mill Dam where even the last man Chris Shaw, had over forty pounds. Despite a slow start, young Jack, off peg 17, had the carp queueing up at the end, catching nearly every put in. He pole fished both margins with either paste on the deck or meat shallow, to end up with 155lbs 13oz. He could well have broken the club record weight had it not been for ten fish that broke him and falling foul of the weight limit. Gary Smith had a frustrating beginning, losing nine fish early one, but still took second spot with 83lbs 9oz of carp, off peg 22, again mainly down the margin. In third place, Colin Wolf opted for groundbait feeder with dead maggot to finsh with 79lbs 2oz of carp from peg 15.

Little John Lakes, Maid Marion, 23rd June 2013.
Anthony White netted carp up to 4 lbs off peg 11, to weigh in 64lbs 0oz to gain his first win this season. Opting to feeder to the island due to the tricky wind, Anthony had a dozen carp in the first two hours before swopping to his paste rig. He pole fished the top two plus two staying on this method to the end. Next peg down, on 11, Lew Nightingale pole fished from the off, picking off carp in short bursts to take second with 44lbs 10oz. Ian Mac stuck with the feeder at peg 25, catching 42lbs 4oz of carp, on pellet for third.

Robinswood Lake 4, 21st June 2013.
Continuing his excellent start to the season by coining in all the previous matches, either framing or with section wins, Chris Shaw won his first match in a below par, lake 4, at Robinswood. Drawn on peg 7, Chris pole fished worm and caster at eleven metres on the deck to finish with a respectable weight of 41lbs 6oz, mainly ide, with a few skimmers but only 4 to 5 carp. In fact the number of carp caught was surprisingly low given that they had spawned the previous week. On the other bank, opposite Chris, Clive Williams drew peg 18 and fished similar tactics to end with 32lbs 0 1/2oz of mainly ide for second, whilst Anthony White had an all silver net of 20lbs 12oz off peg 23 for third.

Cooper's Lake, 9th June 2013
Drawn on peg 28 and after speaking to his counterpart on Saturday night as they had fished their own match on Saturday, match secretary, Martin Lacey, was advised to ignore the carp as they were still in the process of spawning and target the skimmers. After a fishless first hour and a half he was beginning to think about changing, but stuck to his guns, and was rewarded with three slabs plus a dozen or so decent skimmers weighing 24lbs, plus a couple of carp, ending up with a level 30lb for his first win of the season. Pole fishing caster or meat over groundbait at nine metres did the damage.
Just one fish adrift, Daryl Butler on peg 25 had a similar net weighing 26lbs 13 1/2oz for second. Four lost carp cost him victory. Daryl also pole fished pellet for his fish. Gary Smith started on method feeder at peg 30 and had a carp first chuck, closely followed by a couple more before they disappeared. He did manage to add another from his margin swim to end up with 25lbs 14oz for third place.

Hacketts, 2nd June, 2013.
Once again, Jack Danby came out top with an accomplished display. Employing unusual tactics, drawn on peg 13 on the car park bank (an area known to hold carp), Jack opted to fish straight bomb with a pop up boilie as far as he could cast, catapulting 11mm pellets over his bait. This approach proved to be the right method on the day, resulting in carp up to 5lbs, plus a few skimmers for 64lbs 4oz, winning his second consecutive match. Drawn between the reed beds on peg 7, Clive Williams had a frustrating day, losing several carp which could have won him the match, As it was, his carp net of 42lbs 10oz, caught in the second half of the match on his margin swim, pole fishing paste, was good enough for second. He prevented a Danby family one two, as Jack's dad, Mick, took third place with 40lbs 9oz of carp and skimmers all caught on groundbait method feeder and boilie.

Longford, Carwood Lake, 26th May, 2013
Midlands first ever visit to Longford on Carrwood lake resulted in a fine match, with an impressive first win of the season for young Jack Danby . Drawn half way up the roadside bank, Jack pole fished caster at 11 metres before switching to paste to net nearly 45lbs of carp. Together with tench, chub and barbel his total was 82lbs 60z. At the next peg up Chris Shaw continued his recent good form, by securing second place with 50lbs of carp, backed up with tench for 64lbs 9oz, pole fished pellets doing the damage. Martin Lacey had top weight on the other bank, netting 56lbs 7oz, made up of 41lbs of carp, the rest being chub, tench and barbel all caught on pole, fishing 13 metres to the island using a variety of baits to keep them coming; caster, meat and pellets. Best fish of the day was a 10lbs 4 1/2oz carp falling to Pete Tomlinson, who had a poor first four hours before netting 47lbs in the last two hours.

Beechwood, Kingfisher Lake, 19th May, 2013.
Bites were hard to come by on Midlands latest match on Kingfisher lake at Beechwood and eight carp from ten bites were enough for Gary Smith to secure his second win this season. Drawn on peg 14, Gary had half his fish on pole down the track, with the other four falling to bomb and pellet. His last fish, taken just before the final whislte, boosted his weight to 29lbs 8 1/2oz. Had it not been for that final fish, Mick Danby would have been the winner, drawn just up from Gary on peg 12. Mick had 7 carp, all taken on straight bomb and hair rigged 8mm pellet, weighng in with 28lbs 14oz. Also drawn on the same straight, Anthony White, off peg 18 also netted 7 carp, although slighlty smaller. Again these fell to bomb and pellet and weighed 21lbs 10oz for third. Three members did not weigh in and not one silver fish was caught!

Carvale, 12th May, 2013.
Midland were at Carvale for this Sunday's match and in a close fought match where any of the top 6 anglers could have won, it was Paul Nightingale who took the honours courtesy of 15lbs 9 1/2oz of crucians off peg 17. Pole fishing maggot over groundbait at 13 metres Paul had around a dozen crucians plus a smattering of skimmers and roach. Only ounces behind with 15lbs 5 1/2oz was Neil Culham off peg one, who pole fished pellet at 14 metres to take 4 bream and a few silvers. Also off the car park bank at peg 7, Chris Shaw also pole fished pellet to take 14lbs 4 1/2oz of mainly crucians, for third place. On a day when not a single tench was caught, spare a thought for Mike Fletcher, who hooked and lost four big carp which would have given him an easy victory.

Portland, Four Islands, 5th May, 2013.
Here we go again with the start of another season and it started with a bang...
Midland had the whole of Four Islands and with only 13 fishing, the better pegs were put in. Winning with a massive 167lbs 12oz, was Gary Smith, on peg 24, who pole fished long to the island for the first hour catching a few carp on pellts, before trying his inside pole line, fishing meat into the wind. Gary never looked back, catching virtually every put in, the majority of the carp being up to 4lbs, catching the occassional barbel up to the same weight. Anthony White almost broke the ton, netting 94lbs 15oz of carp from peg 6, by alternating long to the island or close to the next platform, with pellet or meat. He did suffer spells without catching, Clive Williams took third with 73lbs 4oz, of carp, chub and barbel, pole fishing meat to the island from peg 30.

Nottingham Canal, London Road,27th October 2012.
Midlands last club match of the season was on London Road canal, pegs 198 - 228, and turned out to be a close affair. With the cold weather hitting Saturday, everyone turned up expecting it to ba a grueller, but everyone caught and in the process several anglers lost decent fish. The outcome could not have been any closer, with last week's winner Gary Smith top of the shop again, but this time only by 1/2oz. Gary on peg 206 had 5lbs 10 1/2oz to pole fished maggots, a mixed bag that contained perch, roach and an odd skimmer, just ahead of Paul Nightingale, on peg 224, who had mainly perch on the pole. There was a tie for third, with Lew Nightingale (peg 203) and Pete Tomlonson (peg 212), both weighing in with 4lbs 13oz.

Coopers Lake, 21st October, 2012.
Midlands match this Sunday at Coopers Arms was in doubt up until last weekend after the venue was re-opened following recent problems with KHV virus. Fortunately the lake looks to have suffered no adverse fish loss as the winning weight topped the ton with good back up weights of both carp and silvers. Gary Smith drew peg 23 and started on the method feeder for 4 or 5 carp, before choosing pole fished meat in front and down the margin. Gary ended up with 30 carp plus one barbel to weigh a magnificent 113lbs 11oz. Anthony White was unhappy to have drawn corner peg 21, which leaves you with little option other than to fish the pole, but 23 carp later, Ant had a smile on his face , finishing second for the third consecutive week, with 84lbs 0 1/2oz. 13 carp fell to pole fished pellet to the trees in the corner, the other 10 coming from open water using worm over groundbait. Neil Culham struggled to find carp on the method feeder at peg 17, catching only 2, before pole fishing shallow with caster to put over 45lbs of ide and roach onto the scales. Together with his carp, he ended with 57lbs 8 1/2oz for third.

Hacketts, Main Lake, 14th October. 2012.
Despite a heavy ovenight frost, weights were more than respectable. Drawn on peg 14, Daryl Butler had an eventful days fishing; casting a method feeder well out he was rewarded with 27 carp and 5 skimmers for 81lbs 9oz, boilie proving to be the successful hook bait. Half way through the match Daryl broke his feeder rod just above the joint, whilst playing a fish, but was still able to net the carp. Anthony White also fished method feeder and boilies, off peg 11, ending up with eleven carp for 48lbs 7oz, whilst young Jack Danby took third with 30lbs 2 1/2oz from peg 21, split between carp and skimmers,

Nottingham Canal, London Road, 7th October, 2012.
Paul Nightingale took the honours in this one. Drawn on end peg 227, Paul pole fished maggot just above half way to end up with 8lbs 5 1/2oz of perch, roach and skimmers. Just one fish behind on the next peg (225), Anthony White found a nice stamp of roach late in the match on pole fished caster to take second with 8lbs 3oz. Gary Smith claimed third spot with 6lb 9 1/2 oz with a similar net off peg 210.

Robinswood, Lake 2, 30th September, 2012.
Midland should have been fishing against Barnstone in a challenge match on the Trent at Caythorpe, but due to the high water levels, the match was called off on Tuesday. Fortunately they were able to book in on Lake 2 at Robinswood. However, with the forecast of bad weather Sunday and Forest at home to Derby, the turn out was on the low side. In fact only two Barnstone anglers turned out, but they went hone in first and third positions. Kele Redwood on peg 26 took the honours thanks to a dozen carp plus silvers; all taken on pole fished maggot for 39lbs 7oz, whilst Nick West claimed third with 26lbs 8oz, of carp, taken on method feeder from peg 10. Splitting them was Midlands Anthony White who had a mixed net of carp, ide, skimmers and roach off peg 2 weighing in with 31lbs 1oz.

Nottingham Canal, Willows, London Road, 23rd September, 2012.
Weights were lower than expected on an unusually dour canal and effectively it took just one fish to win the match. Martin Lacey, drawn on peg 178, had a 4lb 14oz chub within the first half hour falling to pole fished maggot down the track and added to the small roach, perch, skimmers and gudgeon, the winning weight was a modest 6lbs 11oz.
Next down at peg 180, Dave Briggs in second place also had a net chub together with a perch and a few bits totalling 4lbs 5 1/2oz. This time the chub were taken on lollipop float and worm. Third, with no bonus fish, Clive Williams on peg 185 pole fished punch to end with 3lbs4 1/2oz of small roach.

Robinswood, Lake 3, 16th September, 2012.
Anthony White picked up another win in a close match at Robinswood. Drawn peg 18, Anthony started on the feeder for the first hour for just one smal carp, before reverting to pole and paste close into the whips. Despite losing the first four carp he hooked, he stuck it out and ended up with 15 or so carp for 49lbs 11 1/2oz and first place. Opposite him on the other bank on peg 5, Pete Tomlinson ended up second again, not far behind with a dozen carp, skimmers and ide for 45lbs 5oz; the fish falling to either pole fished worm or meat at around eight metres. Just one fish adrift in third, John Morley had a similar net of fish weighing 42lbs 12 1/2oz off peg 7. He fished similar to Pete.

Mill Dam, Match Lake, 9th September, 2012.
Neil Culham chalked up another win with an impressive performance at Mill Dam, targeting the ide off peg 8, by fishing caster shallow at 13 metres. Neil had over 60lb of them backed up with 40lb of carp to weigh in 104lbs 14oz. On the day that was the second heaviest weight, but Pete Tomlinson, who put 110lbs 8oz of carp onto the scales, fell foul of the 50lb per net rule and was knocked back to a level 100lbs. Pete pole fished meat from peg 22, to catch steadily all day. Peg 18 provided Gary Smith with 98lbs 3oz of carp falling to pole fished meat close in just pipping Jack Danby off peg 10, who did well to put together a mainly carp net of 94lbs 10oz.

Caythorpe, River Trent, 3rd September, 2012.
After two challenge matches, Midland were back on familiar territory fishing their own water of the River Trent at Caythorpe. Once again results were encouraging. Leading the way off peg one was Anthony White, thanks to both a 4 1/2lb chub and a decent bream, in a catch of smaller chub and around 10lbs of roach and dace. His total of 22lbs 2oz all fell to stick float and maggots. Second with 13lbs 6 1/2oz of mainly roach was Martin Lacey off peg 28, who started off fishing for the barbel, but changed to stick float and casters afer an hour and caught steadily for the rest of the match. In third place with over 100 fish was John Morley, who also fished stick and maggot for a smaller stamp of roach from peg 19, totalling 9lbs 6 1/2oz.

Hackett's, Big Lake, 27th August, 2012.
For the second week running Midland were beaten in a challenge match, this time convincingly by Parkside, 303lbs 4 1/2oz, to 164lbs 5 1/2oz for the top ten weights on the big lake at Hacketts. Paul Hall, lead the way for Parkside, in a match dominated by pellet waggler tactics, landing 18 carp for 77lbs 12oz off peg 59, They also had second weight with Martin Turner weighing in with 77lbs 12oz from peg 77lbs 12oz.

Robin Hood Lakes, 19th August, 2012.
Midland entertained Barnstone at Little John, with the challenge match being spread over all of Robin Hood lake, and ten pegs on Maid Marion. Teamwise, Barnstone took the honours with their top ten weights totalling 610lbs 14oz to Midlands 523lbs 12oz.
Howevr, Midland did have the top individual weight of 106lbs 12oz which fell to Neil Culham off peg 16 on Robin Hood. Targetting the ide shallow at eleven metres with caster, fish were taken right from the off, with most of the ide being close on 2lb's each; later on, the carp muscled in to help Neil over the magic 100lb mark. Not far behind with 96lbs 9oz was Barnstone's John Giles off peg 1, again on Robin Hood as were the top ten weights. Clive Williams of Midland was best on Maid Marion with 50lbs 14oz off peg 1. Third spot fell to Midland's Anthony White, who stuck to method feeder from peg six, ending with 83lbs 15oz of carp, whilst Barnstone's Alan Houghton ended forth off peg 3, with 79lbs 6oz of carp.

Portland Fishery, Old Lake,12th August, 2012.
Midland members struggled on an unusually dour Old Lake at Portland with the carp unwilling to feed and the hoards of roach conspicuous by their absence. In the end, Gary Smith on peg 14, fishing which turned out to be the end peg on that bank of the lake, did well to end up with 41lbs 5 1/2oz of carp, falling initially to pole fished at eleven metres then later down the margin towards peg 13; meat proving to be the most successful bait. Someway behind, in second off peg 7, Daryl Butler had three carp on method feeder, going down the side in the later stages of the match for several more fish, also falling for meat, for 28lbs 14oz. Anthony White fished method feeder and dead maggots for 27lbs 11 1/2oz of carp from peg 15 for third.

Caythorpe, Trent, 5th August, 2012.
Midland fished Sunday's match on their own water at Caythorpe on the River Trent (pegs 1 - 44) and results for the river were quite encouraging. Making the most of local knowledge counted, as Midland bailiff Paul Winfield, fishing his first match, drew peg 28 and after a fruitless first hour and a half sat it out for the barbel and was rewarded with four fish, albeit on the small side, for 12lbs 12oz on his groundbait feeder and maggot bait. He also lost a larger fish. Clive Williams did well to land a 7lb barbel on light float tackle ending second with 11lbs 11 1/2oz off peg 22; whilst Gary Smith also had a barbel in his third placed weight of 9lbs 13 1/2oz from peg 7, again using float fished tactics. Most of the other anglers also float fished catching dace and roach, plus the odd decent perch, all falling to maggot.

Mill Dam, Old Lake, 29 July, 2012.
There was a three peg battle to determine the winner of Midland's match at Mill Dam and John Rick, drawn peg 22, turned out to be the winner. Peg 21 had won Saturday's match on the Lake with 176lbs and the fish were still in that area. Fishing poled meat down both sides, John had a magnificent mixed bag of carp, crucian, ide and bream to finish with 112lbs 1oz. Only a couple of fish adrift, Pete Tomlinson off peg 19, pole fished meat towards the corner and was rewarded with 104lbs 15oz, mainly carp upto 10lbs. Spare a thought for Jack Danby who ended up third with 91lbs 8oz off peg 25, again another nice mixed bag of mainly carp, crucian, ide and bream, only to be knocked out of the 'Knock Out Cup' by Pete.

Eye Kettleby, Lake 5, 22nd June, 2012.
Despite the strong wind making pole presentation difficult, Neil Culham, off peg 7, persevered with the long pole at 16 metres to the far bank, offering meat under a poly ball. Neil did well to net carp up to 4lbs in his winning weight of 61lbs 13oz. Further up the bank on peg 10, Gary Smith had one lump around 8lbs on meat at 6 metres, before coming in close down the margins for seven or eight more carp, finally weighing in 56lbs 10 1/2oz for second. Third placed Anthony White, started on pellet waggler, off peg 24, fished close to the island, catching around 20lbs, before also opting to fish down the margin, putting 50lbs 12 1/2oz on to the scales.

Robinswood, Lake 2, 15th July, 2012.
Pete Tomlinson, celebrated his 59th birthday in fine style, by winning Midlands match fished on lake two at Robinswood by some margin. Drawn on peg 26, he pole fished worm at 11 metres, picking up the odd carp and ide, before switching down both sides on either worm and meat, putting a total of 80lbs 15oz, of mainly carp up to 6lbs, a bream of 4lbs, plus ide and roach onto the scales. Someway behind, Colin Wolf, drawn peg 5 on the other bank, chose to feeder fish worm, ending up with 49lbs 10 oz of carp, for second place. Third, which included the day's biggish fish, a carp of 11lbs, was Daryl Butler, who ended up with 42lbs 3oz of pole caught carp, off peg 9. Special mention to young Jack Danby, who finished fourth with 39lbs 13oz, off peg 1, a real mixed bag, of carp, bream, roach, ide and barbel, despite taking a dip into the lake whilst setting up.

Cooper's Lake, Weston upon Trent, 8th July, 2012
Drawn on corner peg 21 which produced the winner last week, Gary Smith pole fished meat at eight metres to net twenty carp for 51lbs plus a further 17lb of bream to take top spot, ending with 68lbs 6oz. Just one fish adrift was Anthony White, who drew peg 4, and weighed 64lbs 9oz of carp, falling to method feeder and dead maggot cast to the side of the island. Third, off peg 6 was Pete Tomlinson with 49lbs 7 1/2oz, again mainly pole caught carp on worm.

Decoy Lakes, Willow, 1st July,2012
Last year, Neil Culham upped the club record weight at Decoy, and was close to repeating it again, falling just a couple of fish short. Pegged on 31, and with almost half the lake to himself, Neil pole fished caster shallow at 11 metres to take 189lbs 3oz of carp onto the scales, which doubled the weight of Anthony White, who fished second off peg 25, with 97lbs 6oz of carp, mainly caught on method feeder with dead maggot, fished tight into a hole against the island. Third was John Rick with 62lbs 13oz, of carp, again pole, shallow at peg 5.

Little John Lakes, Friar Tuck, 24th June, 2012
Paul Nightingale was a clear winner, thanks to seven good bream, between 4 - 5lbs, taken down the side on meat over potted pellet; pegged on 12, Paul also had the odd carp, plus ide, skimmers, barbel and even a chub, putting 47lbs 11oz onto the scales, for his second win this season.
Anthony White, was best of the rest, with 36lbs 6oz, of mainly ide, with again the odd carp, off peg 9, whilst Neil Culham had top weight off the Maun bank, with 33lbs 12oz, from peg 23. Once again ide made up a big part of his third placed catch.

Carrvale, Sunday, 17th June, 2012
Normally Anthony White has his peg drawn for him, as he's last to arrive, however, today, he drew himself, and promptly drew out peg 18, which he had won from the previous year. But the outcome was still the same, winning with a nice bag of 28 crucians, plus one bream, skimmer and roach, for 33lbs 4oz. Anthony pole fished double caster over chopped worm at 9 metres. Whilst Anthony was busy catching, it proved a difficult day for everyone else. Second went to Neil Culham off peg 8, with a mixed net of fish, pole fishing caster or pellet, weighing 13lbs 11oz; Mick Danby on next peg 7, ran him close with a similar net weighing 13lbs 5oz, but lost a big carp with minutes to go. Off peg 25, Colin Wolf took 4th place, with 12lbs 8oz, made up of a carp weighing 10lbs 11 1/2oz, caught on the pole, with only ten minutes gone, plus a roach and crucian.

Shearsby, Top Lake, Sunday, 10th June 2012
Gary Smith got his first win of the season with a convincing win at Shearsby, drawn on end peg 51, Gary pole fished pellet close to the island to catch carp from the off, ending up with 77lbs 12oz. At the next peg, 49, Chris Shaw took second place, some way behind with 36lbs 6 1/2oz of carp, caught in similar fashion, whilst 3rd place went to Colin Wolf, who feeder fished worm off peg 33 for 35lbs 12 1/2oz of carp.

Lodge Farm, Top Lake, Sunday 3rd June 2012
On to this Sunday, and it never stopped raining throughout the match, and the water temperature was probably higher than the air temperature, if the mist off the lake was anything to go by.
Top Lake at Lodge Farm, Scrooby Top, was the venue for this week's match, and Anthony White, arrived to find peg 26, was the last remaining peg, not that it made any difference, working a pellet waggler close to the trees on the island, Anthony caught all day in short bursts, to end up with 81lbs 5oz, with his largest carp, hooked on the final whistle,weighing 11lbs 9oz. Anthony lost another three or four animals, that dived straight into the tree roots, and could easily have had over the ton, if it wasn't for those. Both second and third places, also lost fish, Gary Smith, on peg 34, lost seven, but still put 40lbs 7oz of carp onto the scales, from peg 34, pole fishing metre at seven metres, whilst Daryl Butler, used a method feeder to the island, off peg 23, to finish with 39lbs 11oz, again all carp.

Hemmington, Clover, Sunday 27th May, 2012.
On a day when the sun came out and the carp had other activities on their mind, weights were respectable. Winning for the second week running, Paul Nightingale, on peg 12 took advantage of the platform at the vacant pet, to target the fish on pole fished meat, taking fish up to 9lbs 14oz in his 51lbs 4oz total. Also finishing second on consecutive weeks Anthony White missed out again, fishing pole and worm over the sunken island at peg 22, for a mainly carp net, totaling 40lbs 2oz. Also fishing worm Jack Danby, on peg 4, had fish in the margin to take third spot with 34lbs 12oz.

Little John Lakes, Maid Marion, Sunday 20th May, 2012.
Colin Wolf drew peg 13, a peg he had previous won on his last two visits, and he duly made it three, with a well earned 62lbs 10oz, on a day when Steve Beard, the owner of Little John Lakes, suggested only one net would be needed, as the previous day's weights had been poor. In fairness, Colin was the only angler to need two nets.
Casting a method feeder into the reeds by the island, Colin was kept busy all day, with carp upto 4lbs, caught on a variety of baits, with worm being the most successful. Anthony White enjoyed his second finish in a row, being only one good fish adrift, with 59lbs 6oz, from peg 15, starting on the feeder, before switching to paste on the pole, On the other bank, Paul Nightingale had the top weight, finishing third overall, with 52lbs 7oz of carp, taken on long pole and meat at peg 2. Neil Culham, on peg14, took forth, and the last money placing, ending up with 47lbs 2oz, which included several ide upto 2lb taken on caster, up in the water.

Beechwood Fishery, Oaks, Sunday 13th May, 2012.
Despite ideal conditions, bites were hard to come by on the Oak Lake at Beechwood. Coping best was Paul Nightingale, drawn on peg 12, who pole fished the far bank, just over a foot deep, using 4mm pellet, which accounted for 20 odd carp upto 4lbs, plus a bonus 1
0lb fish caught under the vacent next peg's platform, together they totalled 64lbs 14 1/2oz, and a convincing win. The only angler to run him close was Anthony White on peg 20, who employed similar tactics, but with 6mm banded pellet, to finish second, with a similar net of fish weighing 49lbs 10oz. Gary Smith took third place, pegged next to Anthony, on peg 22, Gary, also fished pole and pellet to the far bank for 29lbs 13oz.

Portland Fishery, Old Lake, Sunday 6th May, 2012.
Midland kicked off their 2012-2013 season with a visit to the old lake at Portland Fishery. With an overnight frost and cold water temperature, the carp were reluctant to feed, buy making the most of the conditions was Neil Culham, who put together a winning weight of 49lbs 9oz of carp off peg 8. Neil started on method feeder and meat, which accounted for three carp in the first hour, then switched to pellet waggler over the same spot, which added another dozen fish to his net.In contrast, Martin Lacey, on peg 9, opted to go for the silvers, putting 33lb of roach, plus two carp, for second place for 44lb 14oz firstly fishing caster at six sections and then just the top two shallow.Clive Williams at peg 24, was the only other angler to catch acouple of carp, feder fishing tight to the small island. Clive was third with 23lb 0 1/2 oz.
