Milo Festival 2010
Fishing Information call 01726 862519
Welcome to the 2010 White Acres Milo Festival, in a vast contrast to our previous festivals we have been blessed with good weather! It is a sell out this week with 180 anglers fishing Pollawyn, Twin Oaks/Trelawney, Trewaters, Porth & Bolingey over the five days.
In recent matches the lakes have been fishing well and with the better weather we are having there should be some good results this week. With the sections drawn prior to their arrivals the anglers have the chance to practise over the weekend, some have taken up the chance to do this whilst others have had a relaxing weekend catching up with old friends. The festival is a nice mixture this year of regular faces and newcomers so we shall see what the week holds.
Join us for the daily updates as the story unfolds and we find out who will be the White Acres Milo champion 2010.
Day One
It was a very chilly start to the day but with the forecast of a mild and clear day all the anglers were in high spirits as they queued up for the morning draw. The anglers all gathered in the club for Clint to explain how the festival would run and then it was time for the off, read on to find out who has got off to a great start.
A Section Pollawyn
In was a fairly tough day on Pollawyn with some anglers getting off to a flying start and then coming to an abrupt holt then not catching again until the death of the match. The weights were nothing to write home about but they were tight across the sections for those all important points. Callum Dicks took the lake win today with 79lb 9oz; Callum was on peg 45 and caught on the long pole with pellet. William Raison weighed in with 78lb to take second, Will caught on the method feeder with pellet from peg 17.

D Section Porth
It was a fairly tough start to the week down on the reservoir with some of the anlgers drawing smack bang in the middle of the 'pike zone' It will be fingers crossed for the rest of the week that as more bait goes in it does not become more of a problem and that we see some better weights instead. The lake winner today nearly tripled anyone else's weight and that was Simon Fry on peg 40 with 23lb 10oz, Simon caught a total of 167 fish - all roach, on the long pole shallow with caster.

Bolingey lake rarely disappoints us and the weights today were certainly no disappointment with 16 80lb plus weights.

Day Four
Another day of matches and the results have all changed; a good day for some and they have crept up the rankings but for others they are hoping today was their 'dropper'. The wind had dropped a lot and it was much warmer, some of the lakes produced better weights where as others are showing the strain of being match fished each day but the overall weights of the anglers go to show just how well some lakes have been fishing.

Pollawyn fished a lot better today as there was less wind and it was warmer so the fish were more inclined to take the bait; the high bank fished a lot better with more fish showing.

Crikey what a close & high scoring festival with some amazing weights, we haven't seen three anglers on maximum points for a while now and the closeness in weight between 2nd & 3rd is nearly unbelievable. The title of this years White Acres Milo festival 2010 with a perfect score of 36 points is Lewis Murawski (Fox Match/Dynamite Baits) Lewis has only been fishing the festivals here at White Acres since October 2009 so a festival win is a great achievement.
I would like to extend to massive thank you to Milo and Simon Willsmore for once again sponsoring the festival and providing great prizes for the top ten anglers.
I hope you will all agree it has been a great week and the weather has certainly helped, thank you once again to Milo and all the anglers that fished last week, congratulations to all the anglers especially our top three of Lewis Murawski, Callum Dicks & Harry Billing.
