Mick Telling Memorial match 2021
Mick Telling Memorial match 2021.
Cancer Research match.
Wickwater, Staits Lake
This is an annual match run on my dad's favourite lake, so I'm very grateful to South Cerney Angling Club and to Dan Garner letting us use the lake again.
18 anglers fished today's event, which was run by Frank Donachie and his son Gary Donachie (my best mate). Apologies that I didn't come.
Top weight was Craig Curtis 91lb 4oz who fished the bomb and pellets. My dad used to fish with Craig and his dad, so nice touch that Craig won.... I bet your dad is chuffed!!
Tony Elvis Randall was close second with 90lb 8oz on pellet waggler.
Section winners
Martyn Howard 48lb 6oz
Gary Donachie 34lb 4oz
Chris Rust 87lb 4oz (unlucky, one more fish).
Biggest fish John Magoo Morgan 16lb 12oz
Thanks to EVERYONE involved. Means alot to me and my mum.
£280 raised (I will finalise it) for Cancer Research. Thank you for donations Angela Coates (John), Michael O' Brien , Liam 'Biz' O'Brien, Elvis , Big Frank and Gary D.

Walters Lake
Peg 19 Blue
6oz
8 years ago I drew this peg and weighed 385lb in 4 hours.... and today in 6 hours I weighed unfortunately 6oz. Never saw any fish and hooked and lost one carp, which undoubtedly lost me the section.... Frank lost 3 and a stockie out at the death.
I feel the venue has a few fish in it, and has been under attack from anglers, easy to blame the venue rather than yourself. Easy for me to moan about the venue.... but conditions were OK ish ( over cast, evening match, plenty of room). A lot of venues suffered from lower oxygen levels this weekend... which in turn people had poorer results.

I got destroyed, never mix my words, I was caster disaster... I hoped to catch on paste and edge on maggots but didn't work. Hard to fish casters shallow, couldn't get it to work... until the last part of match and I was miles behind.
