Simple Match Fishing Forum

Well the key to the gate is sorted..........Roberto is picking it up. Don't forget to get there by 8.15am so we can get all through, up the track and 'peg out'

Last set of rules I'd got were
Barbless - no larger than a size 8
Hooks will be checked by a roving baliff - anyone with barbed hooks in use will be asked to leave.
No braid
No litter - also remove cig butts

Bait bans
Dog biscuit
Hempseed
Boilies
Peanuts
BW & J
Pellet and Paste
Groundbait

2 nets must be used - one for silvers, one for carp

Anybody got any predictions?

No hemp, no pellets and no groundbait. What the hell do you feed there
Liquidized baits allowed then ??
Sounds like its going to be a fun match

Proper baits like squatt and pinkie

............or Willows baits minus the seed

Ahh never thought about good old wriggly bait
Throw half a bag of prawns in, the carp will soon come in

If the Cashmores curse strikes as per usual probably lower weights than we had on the T & M canal at Armitage  
Knowing naff all about the place, it may be a case for me to go "back to basics" with the tip rod and the waggler  ::)
Is it a "proper" stillwater, a "commercial type" or what?? Any advice would be much appreciated

Whats a rod and waggler


I can tell you that a tip is the end of your pole

No hemp, no pellets and no groundbait. What the hell do you feed there

Coshida cat meat, luncheon meat, corn and lots of it (really fcuk the water quality up )

Paul, attack it like you did the Willows and you won't go far wrong

Si, I think a 'waggler' is a term used for what a maggot does when you hook it

Heard a rumour pegs 19, 20 or 21 will win!
or any peg directly opposite ball it in.

Ball what in.....Groundbait is banned  :-/
Reading TKs post with all the bans and rules, I have just been on the Octoplus website to see if they do an ash tray for my cig butts.....they dont  ::)

LOL, I use a sweetcorn tin with some water in the bottom, then put it in a plastic bag for the return home.
I may add a 'Offbox' bracket to it so I can attach it to the legs on my box  :P

Pack the sh1t in i did

Theres nothing worse than a reformed smoker.............

normally id look forward to chubbs but this year i predict a cashmore's ballacre.Given the atrocious weather and low pressure i think silvers might be the answer for this match. i too will be fishing the tip in an attempt to snare a beastie. im gonna predict a winning weight of 25lbs with back ups in the teens.im not gonna make msitake of sitting out for carp all day if they aint going like last year,silvers all the way for me.think TK and his ringer FERT have brainwashed me and converted me to a canal/silver fish addict

Yamo - me thinks it's time to change your signature to..................

FERT MODE IS THE FUTURE - particularly as he appears to have made such a lasting impression on you as you tussled for supremacy in that epic battle on the cut

Can't wait for the FERT v Yamo rematch - sure I can flog a few ringside seats for that one

Anybody out there prepared to divulge the whereabouts of Chubbs pool, so I at least stand a fighting chance of getting there  :-/

I'll give you a buzz in the morn re locations/meet at the gate time.........

sky have got in touch regarding a pay per view angling head to head between myself and fert. don king is promoting and the only question is will fert take up the challenge?

ive got a feeling the record will be broke this week. 70lb or so. bout time we had a good day.
