The month started well when Bruce Turnbull caught this nice 12lb Pike (pictured below) whilst enjoying a short break over the border with Dave Gardner.
Steve Sandiford certainly enjoys his lure fishing and was successful again when fishing one of our local waters catching six Pike in a couple of hours.
Most of the Pike gear has been put away now until October, so everyone is concentrating on catching some Summer species. Local waters have again been fruitful with good bags being caught. Paul Proctor caught in excess of 100lbs of Carp during one of his sessions. Dave Gardner and Bruce Turnbull have also enjoyed quality catches. Bruce is certainly enjoying his fishing at present. Pictured below some nice fish caught in May.
In the next few days our coarse fishing matches will commence. First in line is our Golden Maggot trophy followed by our four match series for the Summer cup which will be held over July and August. Our trophy year has just ended with the following members being successful in the various categories. Top of the list is our Pike angler of the year which this year was won by Aaron Greally who also picked up the biggest Pike of the year award. Dave Greally was club trip champion and for the second year running Chris Graham lifted the trophy for the biggest Pike caught on a club trip. Steve Sandiford won the best Pike on a lure and Mike Bell was presented with the Stuart Mordue trophy. Paul Proctor and Dave Greally picked up the trophies for winning last year's Summer cup and Golden Maggot matches.
