Simple Match Fishing Forum

There's a match on Rolling Mill St this Sunday in case anyone fancies it, I'll be there making the numbers up and putting in good practise for the 3 a side, pity my other team members won't be.

Hehe, have you spoke to Tinky. I will come along too. 2 out of 3 aint bad  ;)
I will need my specs to tie some canal rigs up then  :-[ Can't see a number 4 tubertini 175 handling a pinkie too well  :o  

I've got a packet of 32s going spare.................

I would need tweezers to hold the bloody things  :'(

Nice to have you aboard Si, I know you'll do well. You must get your head round chopping worm though, it can be a great get out of jail method and at Rolling Mill St it can be v hard in some sections when the frost and snow is about.

Which reminds me, can you get the worms off Tinky for the 3 a side? They were gonna be free but I think I might have to pay now

Right, I'm taking this Sunday...

quarter of red squatt
quarter of white squatt
bread for punch
quarter mixed pinky
pint of casters
NO worms will be harmed by me in this match

Anything you reckon ???

Bit of seed? And are you feeding the lickie or fishing the punch over slop?

I got my bait today and all that I ever take to Rolling Mill St is Red Squatt, mixed Pinkies and Maggots and of course the Caster. Punch will come into it's own when it's frosty and iced over. I will take some chop when the team event starts but not this week.

Estimated winning weight for Sun will be approx, 5lbs unless some jammy sod lands a Tench then it will be around 8lbs.

Perhaps you'll have to try chopped spaghetti soaked overnight in worm essence

Now TK thats a far more worm friendly method. It would probably work too

Had a walk down this dinnertime............looking a bit gin clear.......read last weeks Sun just at the bottom of the far shelf.
Plenty of fish showing in the actual wharf, but a fair chop on up in the pegs in the 20s made spotting a tad difficult. Some manky Curley Wyrley floating weed also in patches.
Do you fish the 3 mtr whip? Reckon you'd snatch a few bits on the punch over a constant sloppy cloud, but is obviously selective but a starting place before gradually feeding a few squatts in the slop. Used to fish the CW a lot yesteryear and always used to catch on the punch on the lengths I fished, irrespective of time of year - but perhaps the Wharf is different?
Need a bit of chop on if fishing the pole and pehaps a slightly longer line to save waving the pole over their heads?
