WE HAVE HAD THE MOST DRY OF SPRING AND SUMMERS THAT I CAN REMEMBER SINCE ARRIVING AT THE MOOR 10 YEARS AGO, IT HAS BEEN A BIT OF A HEADACHE JUGGLING WATER AROUND BETWEEN THE LAKES TRYING TO KEEP THE WATER QUALITY GOOD TO MAINTAIN HAPPY FEEDING FISH. LUCKILY WE HAVE JOSEPHS IT IS LIKE A HUGE RESEVOIR , WE HAVE PROBALY DROPPED 18 INCHES FROM IT TO KEEP WOODY IN TIP TOP FORM, BEATTIES HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP IN BEING ABLE TO USE ITS LOW DENSITY WATER TO FLUSH PINES AND TANNERS. THE HOT NIGHTS HAVE NEEDED OXYGEN, BUT LUCKILY THE LAST WEEK HAS SEEN A HUGE DOWNPOUR WHICH SHOULD SEE US WELL INTO AUGUST AND THE SHORTER DAYS AND COOLER NIGHTS. OUR SUPER CUP BOYS REACHED THE FINAL BUT STRUGGLED WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FISHING FOR F1S , EVEN SO THEY DID US PROUD DURING ALL OF THE COMPETION. DES SHIPP WON THE MAVER PAIRS ON TANNERS WITH A FANTASTIC 165LBS ON THE POLE SHALLOW, GREAT TO SEE THE POLE DOING WELL AGAIN ON TANNERS WITH THESE LARGE CARP. DAVE WYKES WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WOULD FISH WITH ALEX MURRAY IN THE PAIRS , LUCKILY THE PAIRING WORKED FINE AND THEY HAVE Q FOR THE FINAL AT LARFORD IN A FEW WEEKS, WELL DONE DAVE. ON A PERSONAL NOTE JOES FOOTBALL IS DOING WELL , HE IS OFF TO ABERYSWITH NEXT WEEK WITH HIS ACADEMY AND ALL HIS MATES TO PLAY IN AN U8 COMP WITH TEAMS FROM ALL OVER THE UK, HE MAKES ME SO PROUD SEEING HIM FLYING DOWN THE WING( MUCH FASTER THAN HIS FATHER EVER WAS) THE GIRLS ARE NOW TALKING A FEW WORDS AND WALKING ABOUT AND ARE GREAT FUN.
