Brailsford Horseshoe 13-06-2021

The match this week was on the popular Horseshoe Pond at Brailsford. Pegs 21 and 26 fished the best the last time we were at the venue and when Ian Bradley and Ian Shaw drew these numbers they couldn’t get to the pegs quick enough!

Craig Radford drew the Golden Peg this week and he could not have got off to a better start, catching a Carp on his very first put in quickly followed by a second fishing shallow. However, it was a lot slower for the rest on the competitors. Ade Knighton blanked on the previous match and was determined to make amends this week, but he unfortunately lost a number of fish and failed to weigh in for the second week running. Club Favorite Craig Logan was on Peg 3 and was catching steady fishing shallow, but the pond was still fishing hard with loads of fish being lost.

Coming into the last 2hrs saw more people starting to catch. Carl Wilson on Peg 9 was now catching by fishing shallow and a switch to his margin in the last hour saw him put some better stamp Carp in the net. Ian Shaw on Peg 26 was catching down his margin and Jim Marcer was also starting to catch well. As time was called Craig Radford looked to have done enough to win the match and the Bonus Golden Peg but as always it would come down to the scales to decide. When the scales arrived at his peg Craig Logan was winning with 66lb – unluckily for Radford his fish only went 52lb.

June 6th – Beechwood Kingfisher

This was the first match of the Summer League, it was nice to see many returning faces and a few new ones.

As we arrived at the pond it was clear that the Carp only had one thing on their minds and it was spawning!

The match got under way with Tony Males hooking into a fish straight away from his margin but that was it, it as if the pond was void of fish. As the match progressed Craig Logan on Peg 32 was starting to put a few fish together, fishing pole to the Island.

However, it wasn’t until the last couple of hours of the match when people were starting to catch the odd Carp, Carl Wilson on Peg 14 caught a couple of quick Carp on the feeder, then a switch to pole fishing shallow saw him catch 3 more. Jim Marcer on Peg 36 was starting to catch the odd carp but it was last year’s Summer League champion Ian Bradley who was making a real charge – Ian was fishing pole to the Island and catching big Carp but it wasn’t enough to to catch Club Favourite Craig Logan who took 1st place.

Condolences to Ade Knighton, Mick Burke, Dave Perry, and John Low for blanking…. You wouldn’t think it possible to not catch a single fish at this time of year – better luck next time chaps 😂

Well done June for getting the better of your better half yet again..

1st Craig Logan – 87lb 10oz

A message from our sponsor…….

I would like to start by introducing myself to all members. My name is Neil Wright and a fellow member of Stanton Fishing Club. It isn’t just the fishing that attracted me to the club, where else in the area can you find 3 secluded ponds and canal stretch surrounded by trees and wildlife. I actually feel honoured to be a member of this club!

My 40-year career has been in the clothing industry so it is in my blood that fellow members would be equally as proud to display the club logo on their fishing attire. After discussion with the committee, we produced a small range of samples which you may have already viewed on this Facebook page. I have to say, after just one hour the response was amazing and I thank you for making your comments.

It appears that many of you are quite eager to start displaying the club logo as soon as possible which is a fantastic reaction. The initial range of products will be live on our website next week and are aiming for a launch date of Wednesday 3^rd February.

The committee have made the decision to offer 2 colours, Grey or Green in a range of different items such as Hoodies, Sweatshirts, Polo shirts, Shell jackets, winter hats and peak caps. (No other colours available unless announced by the committee) By offering just 2 colours, it keeps the price down and keeps the ‘uniformed’ look running through the club. Other items may be added throughout the year but the colour range must remain as Grey or Green.

Where to buy? It couldn’t be easier or more convenient for you to get these products…….

We will allow free collection from our premises or deliver directly to your home or work address. Until restrictions are lifted, we must operate within the boundaries to keep everyone safe and healthy.
