Derek Holmes said of this exceptional roach in prime condition : 

 "Fish like this are a credit to the hard work that goes on by committee members confirming Merstone as one of the top Island venues"

****************************************************************************************

Ian Jones has clinched the summer league with 54pts from only 6 matches despite missing the last match.

 However, Ian missing the rod reel and float only match could mean a new name on the Bash trophy as rising star Lee Davison ( 17pts ) and winner of the last 3 matches at Merstone , only needs to finish in the top 7 of the feeder only final round to guarantee victory, and that is if myself John Millington ( 11pts )or Ryan Chessell

( 11pts ) Ian Jones, Geoff White or Brian Stean all on  ( 10pts ) can win. In the event of a tie on points Lee is holding the lead with 42lbs to Ryans 34lb. Gripping stuff, No pressure then Lee.

 

So far after 2 rounds of the masters Ian Jones is out in front on 18 pts with a weight of 78lbs with Shaun Strand in 2nd on 12pts but with a superior weight of 137lbs after emptying Somerton last month, the only other longshots to nick this cup would be

Geoff White 11pts , Brian Manser and Billy Skeldon both on 10pts, billy holding 57lbs after 2 rounds. With the dreaded river and gunville still to fish my money is on the Maestro Jones. 

Last Friday the Island took on what appeared at first glance to be Orchards A team in the IWFAA v Buildercentre match at Dandys Ford Nr Romsey

As it turned out Billy Skeldon fished a blinder for us Winning the match easily on the feeder with 104lb. we also took 2nd and 3rd spots with Chris Langdon beating Me John Millington by 5oz for 43lb odd.

We won the match by a clear 60lb .Winning £100 for Charity ( IW Special baby unit)

The rest of our team was Geoff White , Keith Mathews , Ryan Chessell , Shaun Strand and Brian stean.

YOU must hold and carry at all times a current rod license

(2 rod license for 3 rods) to fish our Association Waters.

DAVE HUNTER Technical Officer (FRB) is the new Fishery Officer for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

telephone 01962 713267

On a routine visit checking rod licences he told Derek Holmes that he had recently prosecuted several persons on the mainland for moving fish from water to water. Even putting a goldfish into an outdoor lake without a section 30 is an offence. The law states that you can take a fish home to eat but Dave warned that anyone seen taking a fish from a fishery will be prosecuted. Surveillance cameras have proved very successful and with the latest technology warnings are sent to his phone and he can watch waters from miles away.
