Firstly can I say a massive thank you to all that took part in this event. it was snowing, cold, raining and windy but you all turned up. Many, many thanks
It was a brilliant day and we handed over to Jane Furnace from the Macmillan Nurses a mind-blowing £2,800 - and when some of the outstanding sponsorship comes in it will go to over £3,000.
It just show how much all anglers feel about this charity and how much good they do. I don’t know if we can match it next year but only you lads will tell
Thanks and tight lines to all,
Pete Green

Boats are selling fast for Rutland bash
Half of the boats booked for the PAC's biggest-ever fish-in have already been taken up, events organiser Mark Skinner said tonight.
The club has 50 boats reserved for a charity pike fishing bash at Rutland Water, on Monday, September 24.
Proceeds from the day will be going to the CLIC Sargent children's cancer charity.
Mark said 25 boats had now gone in a flood of applications following the recent Pikelines.
Places for the event are for PAC members only and will be allotted on a strictly first-come, first-served basis.
The PAC has secured access to the reservoir two weeks before it opens for pike fishing. See Pikelines for an application form and more details on the event.

Loch Fad dates confirmed for February
PAC members have two more days' fishing reserved on Loch Fad, special events organiser Mark Skinner said tonight.
We've now confirmed access to the water, on the Isle of Bute, over the weekend of Saturday, February 2 and Sunday, February 3; 2008.
Mark said: "Slowly but surely our winter's calendar of events are coming together. We are especailly pleased to be able to offer our members a chance to fish Fad and our Scottish LO Scott Davidson has done a great job in ensuring we will be having two events on there.
"Loch Fad has been producing some very good fish and any members who decide to attend will be in with a chance of a fish of a lifetime."
Fad has produced pike topping 40lbs in recent seasons. Click here for previous stories on this blog.
Mark added places for the PAC's first events of season - access to Rutland Reservoir on Monday, September 24, two weeks before it opens for pike fishing - were selling fast.
"There are still boats available, but applications are coming in daily, so get those applications in now," he said.
Full details of how to apply were included in Pikelines, which PAC members received last week.
More events are likely to be announced soon. We are currently in talks with management at a private gravel pit complex in the East Midlands.

Loch Fad added to PAC events calender
A Scottish loch in a unique island setting, which has produced pike to over 40lbs, is set to welcome PAC members.
Special events organiser Mark Skinner said the club had four days booked on Loch Fad, on the Isle of Bute. Two of them will be in November, two in February.
November dates are the weekend of November 17/18, February dates will be announced when confirmed.
"We're very pleased to have negotiated access for the PAC," Mark said. "We are always looking to expand our calender of events, because they are very popular with members."
It's not hard to see why, with fish to 39lbs 8oz caught during club events last season. Lyn Baker's Menteith capture was the biggest pike ever caught by a female angler.
"When a new member comes to her first event and catches a fish like that, it sums up one thing the club's here for," said Mark.
"Any member can apply to fish one of our events and be in with a chance of catching a fish like that."
The Isle of Bute is reached by a car ferry and there is on-site accommodation. Mark said the club was hoping to negotiate a block booking and discount.
Usual PAC event rules will apply. Members can apply for places using the form in Pikelines and there will be a draw if the event is over-subscribed.
We'll be announcing several other waters as soon as details are confirmed.
