Alvechurch Fisheries - Cancer charity match.

Peg 20
143lb
Won lake
Second overall
32 anglers fished
Mark Olds raised £1250.

Back at Alvechurch today for a charity match, fishing to raise money for Cancer.

The match was across Horseshoe Lake and Colmic Canal.  I wasn't too brothered where i drew, but canal was more favoured lake on the day.  I thought canal lake would take the pressure better, however Steve Bellion destroyed Horseshoe lake with 158lb.

For me, I'm not great at snake lakes, no good at this speed fishing..... which proved for the first couple of hours and i did fish like a "mong".  However, had a good run of Ide on a worms head, loose feeding caster on a top kit down the edge.... unfortunately run out of caster (3 pint limit).  Therefore now forced to fish paste, which was a good move, last 1 hour 50 minutes i had caught small carp really well. Maybe done 80lb in that time.

Really enjoyed the day, despite a poor start.  Alvechurch Canal really is a great venue, average weight was 80lb with 16 anglers on it.

Thanks to Alvechurch team for another great day and great cause.  Free beer and burger.....  well burgers 😂.
