WEIGHTS ARE STILL GOOD Tafty everywhere is changing packington was hard again yesterday managed a section win with 5lb 6oz of waggler caught hand size skimmers really enjoyed it but even still had some pesky F1s upto 4lb good fun though

[craftytafty]

Hard match yesterday on Donno, not many skimmers caught, maybe down to flat calm on the pegs we were on, the water going really clear, don't know.
Everyone caught though.

Jt 1st John Eccles
Andy Taft 9lb 14oz
3rd Roger Marlow 6lb 13oz
4th Mick Cobb 6lb 9oz
5th Charlie Shaw4lb 14oz

John caught all his fish on the wag and mag around 20m out, all roach between 4oz and 8oz.

I had 2 bream for 4lb long on the pole and 6lb of roach at 8m on mag and caster.

Roger had mostly roach and a couple of skimmers long on maggot and caster over gbait.
Mick caught a few skimmers to a pound plus a few roach , while Charlie had 3 skimmers for his 4lb 14oz.

Everyone said that when they refed it either killed their peg or they had to leave it for a while to rest it before going back on it. Once I'd refed the first time I could never catch more than a couple before it died again. Still it's the first time we've been on it in a couple of years so we may need to sort it out again.

We're going on the old canal next week, but definitely go back on Donno soon.

Matt caught roach, perch plus a few small skimmers at 6 and 12m and had a bonus 4lb tench in his catch

I had a nightmare of a day, started off by breaking my No 7 section, which racked me right off, I've done nowt but break sections since I had the pole , my heart wasn't really in it after that and also ended up going up my own jacksey again with too many lines and also lost 3 big billys.

decent match again though, everyone caught.

we're going on the Old Canal this Wednesday to see what it's like, there are lots of silvers in it so we'll see.
