Yeah, top days those Trent matches.
Contrary to what a lot think it was basically all roach and you had to sort out the better ones; you really had to turn up on chance to get a peg for the following week!
There was the occasional 20-30 lb in the latter days but in the main the earlier Saturday matches tended to be won with a 'double' of some sorts with 8-9 lb generally framing. It may not sound good by todays weights but the last few in the match (almost 100th) would weigh in around the 5 lb mark.
It was the back up weight that made these matches so good; it was all roach, dace and gudgeon then.
Happy days
I once remember turning up for a Saturday match, setting up and got the shivers because I had left my casters on top of the fridge at home! There was a Goole angler next to me, I think his name was Roy Duckett from memory, he shared his bait with me, casters and hemp and wouldn't dream of taking a penny off me. Would that happen today?
If I remember right that was one of the few matches on BJ I framed in but I did win a few sections and that was a real honour in itself.
More happy days
I met some fantastic characters there too; they were equal to the fishing, top drawer.
Sounds like really special days , if i could go back in time I'd make sure i was around for that special Trent era and to of been old enough to see the jam in their heyday

cathing roach on the stick in morning, watching the jam on night
sounds like the perfect day to me

Paul Glenfield, surely his claim to fame is having a 'little thief/chef' before he goes fishing and getting out without ever paying for one!! or is that one of those urban myths??

Chavey,
It`s not an urban myth, I`ve seen it done on quite a few occasions by the `Lord of Luv`. trouble is he`s running out of suitable venues in the south of england to ply his trade.

Nice bloke Roy Duckett and a very, very good angler. He won the Newark Advertiser twice when it was about 300 pegs.
