Match 1 – Old Hough – Lower – 3rd April 2022 – 21 fished

What a fantastic start to a new season, with 3 new members and a turn out of every member (bar 1) we filled the lake (bar 3 pegs).  The sun was shining for the most part, there was a very strong wind that did hinder some, this also carried a cold snap,  but we can’t have everything in April.

Was a great first match with fish coming out, but they are still very sleepy.  Hopefully good things to come from the […]

Match 10 – Moss Farm – Maddisons- 17th October 2021 – 12 fished

Unfortunately no match report on this one.  After myself breaking another section of my pole and only able to fish top 2 I forgot to write up a match report :(… So this is being created in 2022 so there is no gap in the posts 🙂

Golden peg was peg 22 drawn Steve Taylor…

1st – Rod Hill (60lb)
2nd –  Simon Nadin (50lb 15Oz)
3rd – Andrew Reynolds (44lb 15Oz)

Welll that’s all folks… See you next year.

Match 9 – Issak Walton – Middle – 19th September 2021 – 14 fished

Another new lake this year for Midport in at Issak Walton – Middle Pool.  Very much seems to be a work in progress on this lake, with a few pegs having no staging an unmatured island.

Disappointed that the management asked us to leave some pegs for day tickets so we didn’t draw the whole lake, to find when we got to the venue the best well spaced pegs were the ones we were asked not to use, and we were […]

Match 8 – Cudmore – Moors – 5th September 2021 – 13 fished

Another new lake this year for Midport in at Cudmore – Moors.  Nice little canal style lake simlar to the other lake we fished at this venue before.

As always started the morning off with a butty from the cafe and a warm welcome.

Unfortunately, fishing was slow most of the day. You could see the fish banging the reeds, topping everywhere, just not up for feeding from the hook.  Personally I had an awful start with section 4 of my pole snapping […]

Match 7 – Issak Walton – Top Pool – 22nd August 2021 – 12 fished

A new lake this year for Midport in Issak Walton – Top Pool.  Has had some recent work done to the lake and looked a lovely pool.  With speculation flying that 100lbs would be caught today on here, after almost all of us watched the same video of a chap catching 200lb+.

Lovely breakfast from the café before we started, pellets purchased from the shop and off we went.

Straight from the off today’s winner was catching steadly with fish coming […]

Match 6 – Commonwood- Tryfin – 8th August 2021 – 12 fished

One of the furtherest and newest venues for Midport, with most of us being around 1hr 45mins away.  Unfortunately the cafe doesn’t open until 9am which made the morning a little later start and a quick breakfast on the way.

Weather gave rain allday and wasn’t far off with huge spurts of down pour but then very hot, so was a very good mixture.  With only 10 actually fishing and 2 of the lads not making for various reasons, meant that we were […]

Match 5 – Old Hough – Upper – 25th June 2021 – 16 fished

Local match this week… started off with a local breakfast at The Turnpike thanks to a great landlady for making us welcome and cooking a great breakfast as always.

Another hot day, with every peg having at least 1 peg at the side of them.  Some recent big weights have come out, with 79lb coming out on peg 9 the previous day.

Was a tough day all round, with no real consistency coming from any pegs except the 2 leaders, who managed […]

Match 4 – Heronbrook – Island Pool – 13th June 2021 – 14 fished

Another New lake for Midport, at the “Home Of Match Fishing”…

A very warm day, loads of banter.  Speculation that over 100lb had come off the Golden peg only to be disappointed that he didn’t even have 1st place haha…

Very nice venue, with some great catches on the day. With this weeks winner being a back to back and already looking for his 3rd in a row…  With the Hough Construction lads taking all the money home and I am sure […]

Match 3 – Cudmore – Panama- 16th May 2021 – 20 fished

New lake for Midport, so anything could happen. And it certainly did…

We had tangles on rigs left in the water, far bank trees being caught, end pegs with the wind blowing into them producing some lovely carp.

The water seems to be very much carp based, with them coming our from 2lb upwards, a few of us were not prepared for carp only and looking for F1 and Ide topping, but these were either asleep or non-exsistent.  With most catches consisting of carp […]

Match 1 – Old Hough – Big Max – 25th April 2021 – 12 fished

Much lower turn out on this local match than anticipated, this was probably due to the fact Fish-O-Mania was on the previous day, and the weather is also a factor.

Loads of space for everyone, draw the previous night threw out some predictions and on this occasion Mark Walton didn’t disappoint.  Catching from early on down the edge, took the match in his stride never really stopping catching all day.

A few changes in the weather didn’t help, with glourious sunshine, […]
