Last day of the season “Nail-biter”
What a final day of the season ! The Pairs League was amazingly close with just 1 point between the top 3 teams ! Full results to follow, but huge congrats to The CanalMasters Mike and Richard for a well deserved victory…..JUST! Commiserations to defending champions Vidar & Alan and the form team of the last two matches Leo and Carl who came equal second and were pipped to the title by just one point ! Also great to see Jamie Potts picking up his Matchplay Trophy.

We would also remind all members that when fishing at the marina at Wootten Wawen that utmost care must be taken to avoid hitting boats and ropes with lures. If you do manage to hook a boat or a rope, please contact the marina staff who will give you access to retreive your lure, they have had a number of issues with staff and customers injuring themsleves on lures stuck in ropes and will be grateful that you have asked to retrieve your lure.

Pairs League Round 4 Report
The 4th round of our Pairs League was held at Hatton Locks as a guest venue, ahead of the possibility of us taking on the stretch for the new season. Low temperatures in the weeks leading up to the match meant that catches were likely to be low and that is how it proved, with some of our established “stars” finding the going very tough, while others managed to grind out a decent number of fish. However amongst the blanks and the cold fingers there were also some terrific fish caught. A strategy that saw them spend very little time fishing the lock pounds and instead concentrating on the canal above led to a deserved victory for Carl and Leo as Team SHUK lead the way with 13 fish for a total of 251cm including bonuses. Potto chipped in with a cracking best Zed of 51cm, Felix had a chunky best perch of 36cm and Karl had the only pike of the day at 58cm all of which earned their teams an extra 5 bonus points.
Welcome to our new website
Due to problems with our existing website, we have taken the plunge and started again from scratch with this new LACC Website. It will take us a little while to get all the usual content back online, so please be patient with us in the meantime. If you are looking to buy day tickets or join the club, this function will be up and running very soon.
