| Match Report: |
Forty eight anglers including 11 of our juniors attended the draw at Fordwich Car Park on Saturday evening before the all-night carp and tench only match was fished in very warm and muggy conditions from 8pm to 8am on Sunday morning.
Richard Bacchus lifted the cup this year with three carp and a tench for an impressive winning weight of 49lb 6oz. Richard’s haul were landed from the Fordwich Lake deeps.
Anglers have to choose between the fewer but more weighty carp or the smaller but more prolific tench and it was for the latter that Stuart Davidson fished. His efforts at Stour Lake were well rewarded with five good tench for 21lb 7oz and second place.
Third place this year went to Karl Shopland whose specimen common carp of 20lb 2oz was the best fish of the night and put up a good fight before he carefully slipped his landing net under.
The not so common, common carp were in fact making a number of appearances on the banks and Mark Plank hooked one of 19lb to finish fourth. Glenn Brett opted for tench and his three good fish for 11lb gave him fifth position.
Junior member William Jakeman wetted his net with two rod-bending tench for a good top-junior weight of 7lb 13oz.

At the 1pm final whistle, ten year old Matthew Dryden had reeled in an impressive total of 8lb 5oz of small roach to lift this year’s cup. Matthew used a pole and maggots as bait.
Eleven year old Callum Kennelly chose to fish with a waggler float with maggots and reeled in 2lb 3oz of small roach to finish in second place.
Wayne Wellard’s 1lb 15oz of small roach were taken with the aid of a pole and gave him third just ahead of fourth placed Liam Kennelly who like his twin brother also targeted roach. Liam’s 1lb 2.5oz were all taken high up in the water.
At the end of the competition match organiser Brian Mankelow thanked Blean Angling of Clocktower Parade, Tyler Hill Road, Blean; who once again provided the excellent prizes.

| Match Report: |
The Association’s night competition for the Wacher Cup was fished from Saturday evening at 8pm to 8am on Sunday morning at Trenley and Stour Lakes. The competitors spent a productive night with generally good conditions and only a few light showers and wind making things a little tricky at times.
With an impressive 101lb 8oz of bream and tench (a total of 25 fish), Trevor Baker lifted this year’s Cup from his swim on the south bank of Stour Lake. Feeder-fished worm was Trevor’s winning formulae.
Max Daniels secured second place with another great bream/tench haul of 63lb 6oz. Max fished in the swim next to the winner.
Fishing on the other side of the winner, Tim Fagg proved the fish were feeding well in that area of Stour Lake when he reeled in 55lb 2oz more tench and bream to finish third.
Last season Dan West and Michael Brett were fishing in the junior competitions but now the two youngsters qualify for the seniors and both rose to the challenge by finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Dan landed 40lb from the Trenley ‘deeps’ and Michael 23lb 12oz. Daniel’s father Steve West landed 22lb 12oz to finish in sixth position. All of the above fish were landed using sweetcorn, maggot or worm baits.
Top junior was Matthew Dryden with 6lb 12oz who narrowly beat second placed Wayne Wellard with 6lb 9oz. Most of their fish were caught using whips during the daylight hours.

Committee Competition 3rd November
The mild autumn weather encouraged fish to feed at this time and there were a number of worthwhile catches being taken from all our local venues, however, few results could have bettered that of John Sturge, who took part in the Association’s annual Committee Competition.
Fishing on the east side of Jade Lake at Minster in almost perfect angling conditions and with a light westerly wind he hooked carp continually throughout the four-and-a-half hour contest.
His preferred method was a feeder quiver tip rod and a bunch of red maggots on a size 12 hook to 8lb line.
Both common and mirror carp were taken in quick succession with fish up to 4lb 4oz. At the final whistle John’s catch filled the weighing net six times, giving him an incredible total of 72lb 1oz and making him the runaway winner.
Second-placed Brian Mankelow easily beat his last year’s winning weight of 32lb 14oz with a commendable 37lb 11oz, netted using both pole and feeder rigs with most of his carp up to 6lb falling to either sweetcorn or pellets.
George Iafrate was placed third with a 12lb total taken with both float and feeder. Back to top |

Match Group Cup 11th November
The north bank of the River Stour at Grove Ferry was the venue for our annual Match Group Cup competition.
The 12 entries found the river flowing for the first two-and-a-half hours and it was during this period that club competition secretary Brian Mankelow caught most of his fish.
Brian used a stick float with double red maggot as bait to trot his swim opposite the hotel and took numerous roach and skimmer bream. When the tide turned at 11.30am, he found the fish less obliging but his final weight of 14lb 11oz was enough to win the trophy.
Second-placed Trevor Baker fished from “The Boards” using a roach pole and took a mixed bag of 12lb 2oz.
Only two ounces behind, last year’s winner, Dick Callaway, beat his previous winning weight of 9lb 12oz to come third with exactly 12lb. He was helped by having drawn a slack water peg just upstream of the sluice.
Clive Eversfield fished a roach pole from “The Boards” to come fourth with 9lb 11oz.
Michael Brett fished the top swim on the match length and caught 3lb 6oz making him top junior. Back to top |

Cooke Pike Cup 25th November
Despite this having been a good week generally for pike anglers, with a drop in temperature and lots of big fish being landed, only three anglers weighed in fish during the annual Cooke Pike Cup competition.
The six hour match was fished at the Association’s Trenley and Fordwich lakes in Fordwich.
Steve Matthews repeated his 2005 win with four fish for a grand total of 26.5lb and first place again this year. Steve fished from the corner of the Fordwich ‘deeps’ with float fished dead baits to land the predators to 8.5lb. After a short scrap he also lost one good fish estimated to be between 15lb and 20lb.
A 10lb 4oz and 8lb 4oz brace gave Derek Lewis a well earned second place with 18.5lb. Derek fished from the car park end of Fordwich Lake, again with float fished dead baits.
Craig Smith’s single fish of 3lb 2oz proved enough to secure him third position with float fished dead baits in Trenley Lake. Neither of the two junior competitors landed a fish on what proved to be a very difficult day for pike anglers. Back to top |

Christmas Shield 16th December
The weather and conditions leading up to the Christmas Shield were awful for anglers.
Fortunately the conditions were a little kinder, although bitterly cold, for the Christmas Shield that was fished at the Cottington Lake complex near Deal. Fourteen competitors fished from 9.30am to 3pm at Black Lake.
From the draw that was made at 8am, an easterly wind blew all day and temperatures struggled to get above freezing with the wind chill making it feel much colder.
Clive Eversfield finished first with a commendable 6lb 15oz caught with single red maggot baits, presented below a small float and fished from a pole. Clive struggled to catch fish in the morning but things improved in the afternoon when most of his fish came to the net.
Second place went to Dave Elliott with 4lb 11.5oz landed with caster baits; again these were caught using a pole. All of his fish were perch and the larger of these were seen in the morning and included one of 1lb and two fish of approximately 8oz a piece.
Brian Mankelow hooked 4lb 6.5oz for third position overall. After four and a half hours our Competition Secretary reeled in numerous small roach and with just an hour to go he hooked and landed a 12oz perch also caught on pole-fished red maggot.
Another angler from Deal fishing at his local water landed 4lb 4oz to secure fourth place. Tim Fagg landed all small fish and successfully used pinkies again fished with a pole.
The winner of the junior match was Daniel West with an all roach bag of 2lb 1.5oz. Daniel also chose to fish with a pole and pinkies. Back to top |

Saunders Cup 10th February 2008
This season’s Saunders Cup competition was held on the River Stour at Grove Ferry. Thirteen anglers took part and enjoyed the sunny and very mild conditions throughout the five-and-a-half hour match.
In contrast to last year’s winning weight of just 2lb, Brian Mankelow reeled in an impressive and convincing weight of 14lb of roach and skimmer bream to lift this year’s cup. Fishing from the end swim on the ‘boards’ (furthest from the bridge) Brian used double red maggot and alternated between stick float-fishing and legering.
Stour regular Dick Callaway could only manage second place this year with a 4lb 3oz mixed bag. Dick fished behind the Inn amongst the boats.
Ian Morkunas reeled in 3lb 8oz of roach to secure third place and Mick Fell landed 3lb 4oz for fourth. Ian and Mick both fished between the boats behind the Inn. That was arguably the most prolific silver-fish section of river at Grove Ferry at the time.
All the top placed anglers switched between float and leger, and caught with both methods. Double red maggot proved to be the favoured bait on the day.
Michael Brett was the top junior with a well deserved 1lb 1oz of fish that he took from the swim opposite our disabled persons’ access swim. Back to top |

Bateman Cup 9th March
Just nine anglers fished for this seasons Bateman Cup at the Trenley Lake deeps. The weather was reasonably mild leading up to the match and competitors expected to catch well at Trenley this time of year with all species of coarse fish starting to feed after the winter. Unfortunately the opposite was true and five of the nine competitors didnt have a bite all day.
Mick Fell stuck to his match-plan and hooked a bream late in the morning, followed an hour or so later by a perch and then a tench for a winning weight of 9lb 5.5oz.
Tim Fagg landed a bream for 4lb 5oz and second position. Trevor Baker hooked just one skimmer bream of 13.25oz to secure third place while Adrian Hart reeled in three small roach for 13oz and a well deserved fourth.
All the fish were landed using feeder-fished baits that were presented on or very near the bottom of the lake. Although the day was described as grim by one of the competitors, on the plus side the rain held off until the anglers were making their ways back to the car park at Fordwich Lake after the six hour match.
