Dave Brown had a go on the lures and managed a few bass what did amaze him were two hounds swimming round his feet in a couple of foot of water!

Dave with a lure caught bass
Fleetwood and District Angling Club fished their latest match at the Miner’s Home, this was the four fish challenge, but the great British weather made it a challenge to catch any fish.
The fresh north westerly wind caused quite rough conditions , compounded by the amount of weed that kept floating past.
Only nine of the twenty-one anglers caught fish. Only two anglers caught more than a single species.
