Wigston A.S. Open Matches - GUC Leicestershire

Hi Wayne, We have met before. I thought you were the Wayne from Townsend fishing tackle - but thats another Wayne! :D Thanks for the offer of some advice.

Wigston A.S. Open Matches - GUC Leicestershire

Hi Adam, thanks for getting back to me. I will put my name down for some of the matches. I'm not a match fisherman by any stretch of the imagination.

Anybody got a 6 metre whip for sale??

I have been trying to get a decent whip everywhere.

I think I have just done a deal for a tourney 8m whip, but I think the tri casts are pretty good too.

How long is the tri cast Joff?

I think the bigger ones might hold back a little from the feeder, whereas the 2-3lb chub seem to be right up attacking the feeder. I think the long hooklength will cause the bait to waft around in the flow, although I d...

Yes, I was in the first peg with the leaves. It was a bit of a pain cause you'd be catching on a line, but then it would be completely covered with leaves and you'd have to move to a new line. Theres not much point in complaining though - not much the organiser can do. The last match I fished on the...

Hi Joff,
I think I met you today on the Wreake canal championship. I was doing the scales and weighed in someone called Joff.
Was that you?

Wigston A.S. Open Matches - GUC Leicestershire

Hello,
Ive just registered.
Have these matches been fished, or was there not enough interest? If they did go ahead, was much caught? I might be interested in having a go in the August 28th one if its happening.
