Wingham Fish-In Catch Reports 2012


Steve Burke

Recommended Posts

Please post all catch reports here so that they're all together.

 

Mods, could you please transfer any reports elsewhere to here? Many thanks.

 

Weather today has been sunny spells, average temperatures, light SW wind becoming calm late afternoon then within seconds moderate to fresh NE at dusk.

 

Before the Fish-In proper started Si and Budgie both had 40lb+ commons from the Carp Lake. Moreover pictures clearly show that they were different fish, even though the weights were similar at 42-12 (a new PB common) to Si and 43-00 to Budgie.

 

The first day is always slow as the fish are used to 3 anglers rather than 23 on the Coarse Lake, and of course there's lots of disturbance with transporting guests around. Today was no exception. Nearly all the fish so far have come from the NE end of the lake.

 

Here's the fish I know of (not counting Si and Budgie's 40lb+ commons just before the official start):

 

Coarse Lake

 

KAYC - 7 tench (4 males, 3 females) to 7-10 plus a 2-04 eel and a jack

Glyn - tench of 7-08, plus a tench of 6-06 (his first fish of any species) to helper Stuart who shared the swim

John Weddup - tench of 7-09 and 7-11, plus 2 eels c2lbs and 2 jacks

Steve Walker - 7-07 tench + a jack

Maddog - perch of 1-02 plus 3 pike to 6lbs

3 Doors Down - pike of about 8lbs

JK - pike of 15-01 & 8-00

Addicted to Scopex - PB eel of 4-13 + 5 others

Bluben79 - 10 jacks

Carp Lake

Elton - 13lb pike

Dave H - 7 jacks + 2-02 eel & another

Float-fishing in the margins, unsuccessfully targeting perch or tench on lob-worms, I had two pike.

 

First weighed 10.5lbs, the second around 6lb.

 

Great fun on a light float-rod and 6lb line (and size 10 circle hooks).

 

A fully mirrored carp of around 15-20 lbs paid a fleeting visit into the margins, swimming by about 2ft from the bank.

Unsurprisingly with a change to a cold NE wind and cloud the fishing is very poor. Annoyingly the change happened very suddenly at dusk last night, normally the time when Wingham switches on. Even more annoying, the day after the event ends the weather will be turning warm and sunny!

 

For an update of the catches please refer back to post 1 above.

I had the privilege to be invited to fish Wingham 2012 for the Saturday and although my basket was empty at the end of my session, it is sometimes only secondary to the experience of being at such a wonderful place and having a chance to meet our AN friends.

 

Firstly and big thank you to Steve for inviting me, I have not had any opportunity to fish in the last twelve months and I enjoyed myself immensely.

 

As usual the organisation was second to none and a tremendous thank you to Steve, Peggy, Terry, Glynn and all the bailiffs who have work so hard to make this annual event the highlight of our fishing calendar.

 

Here are some photo,s of the outlook from my swim, which I hope conveys the sheer beauty of Wingham.

Once again many thanks to all.

 

Richard.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

Well done to all who caught fish; Sue and I were there yesterday for the BBQ and would also comment that the conditions were less than ideal but it is nice to see that some nice Tench coming out.

However the conditions were ideal for our trout fishing trip after we left I had Five trout out to 3lbs on buzzers and Hares ear nymphs and Sue had a nice fish of around 2.5lbs on a damsel nymph.

Maybe we will be back to the coarse fishing mullarkey quicker that anticipated, consensus was that we could do with another AN fish in at Timsbury, I am looking into it and will advise further.

Firstly a big thank you to everyone at Wingham for the great weekend. Also thanks to Dales for lending me some banksticks for the weekend.

 

Right, a little bit about the fishing. It was hard, despie this I felt I let down Steve a bit after he gave me the best Tench swim in the lake and the I didn't even manage one bit from a tench all weekend! I tried all the humps and bars in the swim and also the slt in front of me but I just couldn't find them or get them feeding. Halfway through the weekend I switched Tom targetting perch and eels and managed a new PB perch of 2-10 and a pike so despite how bad it went I ended up quite happy especially as it seems no other perch were caught which was quite surprising.

 

Anyway, congratulations to everyone that caught and hopefully those that didn't will try again next year. When the fishing is good it's an amazing place to be so hopefully see you all next year if I'm lucky.

 

Looking forward now to reading everyone else's reports from the weekend :-)

It's never a 'six', let's put it back
