It was a calm and sunny day for Remembrance Sunday when the club fished for the Remembrance Shield, but with the recent heavy rain and cold nights the fishing was far from easy.

Clear winner was Ray Torrington fishing peg 18 and using a pellet feeder tight to the far bank alternating between hair rigged pop-up boilies, bread and pellet to finish with an all-carp catch of 33lb.

The Oak Pool at Decoy Lakes fished well for the JVAC lads on Sunday, albeit from the noted hot pegs.

Leading the way from peg 21 was Terry Tribe. He caught on a straight lead approach with banded pellet on the hook for a very respectable 137lb 7oz.

In fact, Andy Kelk on the very next peg came close to pipping him at the post, but fell just short with 129lb 7oz. He caught on the long pole with pellet.

On the opposite bank was Alan Warren on peg nine. He fished red maggot for 96lb 13oz.
