Simple Match Fishing Forum

i just heard bucko has gone to church for some forgiveness after long eaton lost the last round of the winter league by 1point and tied for first place overall with trentmen but lost on count backs
when bucko guessed for another team and beat his own flesh and blood team mate in the section of death  shame on you shame on you 
i take it he will be there a very long time 
bucko was it wigston or loughborough you guessed for

before i start on you joff i would like to say thanks alot to brian hull for running the league and doing a great job.also for the 5 teams who turned out every week as with 1 more less team we would have had no league at all.right joff were do i start dont tell me another flying draw yet we only had 2 of the pegs we had last time so i think it must be angling abilty this time .great league for myself this year 11lb roach this week giving me a total of just over 60lb of roach of the 6 matches and joint 3rd individual of the series missing out on weight to adi reynolds.plus we had jayes 1st individual .the team won 2 matches plus the knockout cup beating trentman in the final .just a shame you lads never fished as we missed your pools money .all this without super star rob wooten .if doom and gloom had helped us out on the matches we were short who knows

60LB OF ROACH IN SIX MATCHES ON THE RIVER :owhat a drawbag you are thats outstanding just tell me where you had these weights sutton ,kegworth can't think it was bonsors, abbey bottom end of the brinks or osier beds where some had grams
but you have done well winning two on the trot shame its still last

pete mulvey wigston AS is this the same pete mulvey that voted at the meeting and then didn't put a team in someone should check your team card or did you put one in hammo

hammo dont know that i would have made that much difference
but i can tell you i have really missed the whole winter league experence
looking foward to tonys teams of 4 and if i can get in wigstons crack sqaud next years winter league

pull the other one

whats the point fishing a winter league on a river or canal and not putting a team in the semis ?

you might have to fight joff to get in our team next year robbo .2 of my weights were from the brinks proper fishing .you have not said much about little meadow joff after u said it would be crap only 1 man not dragging money of the section and that was ours

GOOD OLD ROBBO
it will be teams of six next year anyway
little meadow yes you have got me on that one ,yet you could go down next week and not get a bite as we did in years gone by all i can say good job the roach had a go or dean would of still won the match and the rest would of had ounces i 've been there when one of the six finger boys tried to get me disqualified for catch a chub after the whistle when in fact i was playing with my rod tip under water so it wouldn't snag me >:(thats why there will be no love loss between us and i'l never forget that

2 sutton 2brinks must of been1,2or4 and two at keyworth you have been a draw bag this year

hammo proper fishing is throwing a dozen babys heads in and chopping 50 lobs up isnt it ?
wafting some bird seed down your peg on a match stick thats not proper fishing surely .!!!!!!
joff who is the sixth team?

Who are the sixed finger boys Joff ?

couldn't of put it better although i do like hemp fishing
the six fingered team i'l send a MP to you

the river has fished that well!!! why isn't there a match this sunday

joff there are so many great local matches this sunday to choice from , there is a 12 pegger at mallory in the track theres a 16 pegger at saddington res you could join mallory 100 odd quid or wreak 26 quid that would be a a 20 peg match at best or you could fish some of the localish commercial venues iam sure the venue experts will take a 15lb handicap to help, why would any one want to fish the miles and miles of rivers or canals we have locally
i maybe being sarcastic

it would be nice if we could all get together drop the price of the matches and pay it fairly
i would much rather fish against 30 to 40 then 10 to 15

wouldnt we all?

Could it be that you ain't running it?

10 quid pools may get more anglers involved but in my humble oppion thats only a part of the problem
in order for club anglers , or anglers who fish all these 10 to 15 knock ups to take the plunge and start fishing opens there has to be something in it for them, that is and always was the chance of beating a superstar of the next peg ,
the winter league started to die as soon as the peg 16 end peg draw was stopped teams like rank taylor hobson ect kept comming year after year because they drew it they won a round of the winter league and they felt great .
random draws leaving flyers out to make it even ment only the above average angler could win and the below average angler who may win once in a while now could not .
and where are they now fishing club matches or knock ups with their mates
the good teams or individual anglers would always win in the end but they would take their batterings along the way
smaller pools , unfair venues , and superstaras prepared to take the odd beating for the good of the sport .
everybody remembers beating a superstar off the next peg in virtually every detail but can you remember as vividly how much was in the brown envolope

the river is fishing well i heard your mate tony is running one.i cant make it back on football duty with the kids peg 22 and 4 dont think i will ever have a winter league like that again and if it wasnt for pike every match and leaves on some i would of framed in every match that was how good the draws were .yet at sutton i had a trentman either side of me and i doubled both there weights my best performance since ive had the kids and there 7 and 9 now it was just like the old days on the nene
