CATCH REPORT August
A LIMITED NUMBER OF WINTER
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!
The Horseshoe has to be the one for carp at the moment, carp have shown all week, inbetween the crazy summer weather that is, they again have been off this week to upper doubles, simply the amount of colour in the lake shows just how much the carp are moving, cats from 20lb to 38lb all from pegs 2, 5, 6, 7 and 4, the cats have been showing themselves more and we are getting closer to those huge feeding frenzys we see in the autumn, can't wait!!
We have in fact
started to rake again, as some of you are aware that in doing so now
(and not in july), the weed should not re-grow as it's season is nearly
over, massive clear spots are present and as i have said before if you
need help, just ask us.
Longlake has fished ok again, as with the Horseshoe it is only a
matter of time before the fish go beserk ready for the back end, carp
to mid-doubles and cats to mid twenty's have been out from all over the
lake this week.
In general the Golden has fished well, for your first cat, single
figure
to mid double carp, and some superb Bream
too golden is still the one at the moment, again on Horseshoe I would
say
Big beds of hemp etc is defo the way to get them churning the bottom
up, on the other lakes keep bait to a minimum, just use bags etc.
Realtree Lakemore Catfish Challenge Cup 2010
Specimen and match anglers taking part were.
Jan Porter - Andy Bennett
Simon Clarke - Lewis Murawski
Kev Shore - Mark Walton
Gary Newman - Matt Hall
Terry Knight - Keith Stevenson
Phil Aylett - Kieron Rich
Ron Griffish - Stuart Beard
Dave Foster - Tony Winnick
Nick Edwards - Dean Barlow
Tony Corbett - Steve Collett
Tom Webb - Pete Goodman
Match weights from the afternoon session only came into play when a catfish was caught, as such Kev was in fact leading the pack for an hour or so, all be it with a kitten, Jan actually won that match with 38lb 8oz, however as his partner failed to catch a cat his weight counted for nothing.
Final weights.
WINNERS - Simon Clarke - Lewis Murawski with a total of 90lb 4oz ( 34lb 8oz + 3 cats - biggest 25lb 8oz)
2nd - Gary Newman - Matt Hall total of 35lb 1oz ( 7lb 8oz + 1 cat at 26lb 9oz)
3rd - Tony Corbett and Steve Collett total of 30lb (10lb + 1 cat at 20lb)
Biggest Catfish trophy went to Matt Hall with his 26lb 9oz
All in all I thought it went very well indeed, not only does it bring Match anglers and Specimen anglers together to learn each others quarry, but the event is a huge annual boost in my quest to get Catfish the respect they deserve within the angling community.

April 2010 - Realtree Lakemore Partnership
I am pleased to announce I have secured a fantastic
partnership deal with Realtree Europe inc, as you can see from the
website we will now be known as Realtree Lakemore, myself and my superb
bailiffs are also now officially part of Team Realtree.
The partnership will see many great things for both parties concerned, not least is the fact that a Global company like Realtree have decided Lakemore is worthy of having their name put to it, in fact the only fishery in Europe to bear their name, how good is that!
My good friend Jan Porter (Mr Realtree) was
instrumental in sorting this out and after 6 months of discussions we
got there in the end, nothing much will change at Lakemore, however we
are soon to be having a monthly prize for best catch etc. This will
include a piece of Realtree merchandise, one final thing is as sponsor
to the Catfish Challenge Cup they will be putting forward some goody
bags for the competitors.
Swim Information
As from March 2010, the original pegs 1, 4, 5 & 6 are now re-opened for a season, and the new pegs will be open for the season.
The two reasons for this are:
1. To get fish moving around the lake more, and feeding more. At present, they are holding up in certain areas and this will disrupt them.
2. For any anglers who have fished Horseshoe regularly, these new swims will create a completely different perspective to their fishing. It will feel like fishing a different lake.
Bait Boats
I am allowing the use of bait boats on the Horseshoe. Should you wish to use this facility, a £5 per day fee is required. Discounts will be available to those staying for longer periods. As stated, this is for a trial period, and should anybody abuse the use of the bait boat, they will not only be removed from site without haste, the facility will also be revoked.
