Hawthorne AC club match.
Ho Ho Ho!!!!! Time for the Christmas Fur & Feather Match. This is really just a fun match and everyone is guaranteed a prize at the end of the day, and funnily enough this meant the best turn out of the season so far!!
Now Lucks Lane Lake couldn’t be described as the prettiest venue going, especially in the winter. It’s an old irrigation reservoir that is raised up from the surrounding orchards, thus catching any weather that’s going, and today there was plenty!!!!!! Oh and did I mention that the Eurostar trains thunder past about 50 yards away every 20 mins?
In it’s defence it’s one of those venues that normally produces a few fish regardless of conditions. Being that today was basically a social event, I was just looking for a bit of comfort, so it was up with the brolly and out with a feeder to try and snare one of the lumpier Carp that inhabit the venue. I hate fishing the pole in the cold & rain so that got left in the rodbag.
Between wandering around and chatting to most of the members I did actually manage to catch one, A nice Mirror Carp of 7lbs 10ozs which was good enough for 8th place on the day which won me a bottle of Scotch by way of a bit of Christmas cheer.
