Good luck in the future Joff! Hopefully see you filling in on some of the rounds on the rivers! All the best!

Sam i'l be around mate every week just not as captain just want to fish

Are you still running the Loughborough pairs this year Joff?

I would of thought it will be running but i don't want to run it myself Ben just want to fish  ive had quite afew phone calls about different matches and really fancy some silverfish commercial matches i see you are going to hemington i'd love to get on Saturday mate if things work out i might be able to go on wednesdays soon

Oh right, it was a brilliant league last year , you'll have a lot more free time to go out and about now all the best mate

Ben i might fancy some of this



just popped down to Switherland Res to see a mate .Hes after the big bream that live there so far he's had 14lb 13lb 10lb but he thinks there's a 18lb plus in there





he's there all week not sure about that bit

Each to their own I suppose , i wouldnt fancy it in this weather ,

I didn,t realise you knew my mate Matt. Sound lad.

Yes matt shows me the big fish rigs showed me how to cast at distance down there

Big slabs are awesome fish!!!

Not sure about the rod pods and buzzers though! I occasionally fish an old gravel pit in Bedfordshire for the bream that range from 9 to 13 lb. fish It match style with 2lb hooklengtj and size 17 b711 ;-)

PS good luck Joff ... I gave up serious team fishing in the mid 90s. .... I am starting to miss it now!

Cheers mate no dougt I'll miss it but I need to back off and get my own fishing sorted
Talking about big bream we fished a match on a lake at cossington full of prime red fins normally only carp fished I won the match with 34lb 3oz just 3 bream on the pole the biggest 11lb 15oz 11lb 10oz and 10lb 10oz a. Bloke took a video I must get the stills of it it's going back a few years now
They must be still in there yet you hardly see anyone fish the lake now as the season tickets have gone through the roof

The place I go is a club water which cost 50 quid a year. I blank as often as I catch but my best is 11 fish in a 5 hour session.

Good luck Joff! I left Blackhorse earlier this year for similar reasons, give me a bit more freedom to concentrate on fishing more local, individual matches, see the kids a bit more etc! Might see you on some of the wreake matches

The Switherland res where this photo was taken today is still 8 to 10 feet down matts fishing close on 100yards he sent a bait boat out with his depth find these lads know what they are doing it's different I must say not my cup of tea but when you catch a beast it must a great feeling 

Colly  15years is a Long time just want to fish and enjoy it again I have been sorting a few matches where I want to fish if the team need me I'm here
