Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I added an info page on the fishery website page, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com

The Wales Carp Masters Final was held this weekend, not heard any results yet as i've been working nights this weekend?

Will update once I hear something? basically six fisheries got together and led by Celtic Lake, they had fish offs sending anglers to Celtic Lakes for the final, Sky Sports has filmed it and were at White Springs and all the other fisheries during some of the qualifying matches.
Got to go my micro wave timer just rung and my tea is ready? will update later in the week about this final
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
well here's the update
I phoned my dad and he said people were saying, it was a bit of a joke and a disaster, he didn't go into detail, he told me Paul Morgan of White Springs caught the first carp and a White Springs pair did win, but the organising on the day was very poor,
said the Peterstone marshalls and crowd packed up early and left in disgust,
I went on one of the fishing forums and there's like 5 pages of horror from anglers and marshals, and the forum just confirmed in rather more detail what my dad had said.
you've got to read it to believe it, this competion got so much hype and publicity in the lead up that the organisation of the final left the event down.

The actual carp masters site is also a bit slow in publicising the results
the web page looked like it would give an update throughout the weekend but there's no update yet?
