With less than a fortnight to go for this 'opener' for the 2010 series, better start a new topic

Park on Bolehall Social Club
Amington Road
Tamworth.

I've got a few interested guests for this match so if you do not intend fishing this one, or know of any member not coming along, please pm me or let me know - cheers 

Havent fished this section before Joffie - but have fished the adjoining sections either side.........

Had some brilliant days on there, also the odd  grueller.

Once weighed in 29lb12oz of redfins for 2nd place........was a bit narked, they were like peas in the pod, one more I'd have broke the 30lb mark of all roach

Also chub barbel and bream. In fact in the knock up above, one guy bust the scales when on his first weigh he tipped too many fish in the weigh net, the scales went zap round past the 75lb mark and bust 

Blues4eva mentioned it to me on the match on Sat - he fished this particular section last year and had some bostin chub 

But it all depends on the conditions Joffie - if low and clear it will be a  - needs a touch of colour in it..............bet we wont see any rain for a fortnight now 

There's a few essox lucius about too.........shouldnt be too much of a problem for us, we're used to em in our cut 

Here you go KOD and Joffie - caught on red maggot

I'm in a dilema Joffie...........

Been off line for the last couple hours, 'sorting' some of my bait out and relackied 5 tops with no4 to no8

But dunno whther to take a different pole with 8 tops lackied 6 - 14 incase them beasties show 

or shall I just do the usual and scrat for bits

That's me sorted then, mind made up DaveC  Spose that was a bit of a no brainer on my part really 

Better get the other pole out instead with the 7 tops lackied with 2 to 4 

Gunna be interesting this one……………

I know that Cotti and MrV are looking forward to it      


Chub were showing earlier in the week, but also heard it’s ‘recently’ shown it’s ‘cruel’ side as well 

Had a pm about the river last week……..I’ve edited so that nobody gets too upbeat if they draw a flyer  or more importantly too down hearted if they draw a ‘not so fancied’ peg  ………encouragingly it does mention the silvers…..if you can avoid the pike 


hi tony i see your fishing the anker at bolehall next week. i guarantee the ??????? peg will win it, always does lol. the ???????? pegs look great but there not as good as they look. the ????? pegs where ????????????????? are by far the best pegs. loads of small roach to be had

trouble is it's full of jack pike

So there we go................
