question about pegging at this time of year do you think its as important to leave big gaps between pegs
why i'm asking is last weekend the canal fished hard and bearing in mind its not B/J the fish seamed to be very tight and at points some one would catch loads of fish yet the angler on the next peg can't get a bite the canal is quite clear and the fish are not moving during the day yet some anglers iF the pegs were a little tighter i think you would have a better chance of catching than the  DNW on the board you might not get a big weight winning the match but it might allow more fish to be caught what do you think

If this is any good to yer.

We, (Stafford IW) AA have a dead straight half mile length of the Shopshire Union Canal. It is six to seven metres wide and has a good depth. It's no good in the summer due to the boat traffic and being narrow.

I use to peg it normally and it always, bar none, fished crap with 4 lb being a mega weight, yet I knew the length was, and still is, full of fish.

It was left alone for a few years granted but like other clubs these waters aren't free and rents have to be paid.

I had a rethink and started to give miles more room, up to 40 yards. It was an unbelievable transformation, the weights escalated and 4lb odd was well last and at the last few match I ran at Little Onn when I included it, it was THE favoured section to draw.

For the record can't think of 'owt worse than sharing a crappity smacking handkerchief with the geezer next door. In my view a peg (and we pay for these remember) should be a minumum of 22 yards, ANYWHERE. Half of that it should be half the crappity smacking peg fee, rant crappity smacking over but we are all being crappity smacking ripped off big crappity smacking style.

Am I talking w@nk ?

Can i have my Mars Bars back please ? 

sh#t we would of had 3 anglers in-between us in that case are bit friendly up there dodge

I crappity smacking well hate close pegging

Some of the crappity smackers are better off pegging the crappity smacking washing; they get more room between the crappity smacking shirts.

My pet crappity smacking hate, it's w@nk
