Simple Match Fishing Forum

So come on then, lets get some banter on the go. Looking forward to these matches. And after today, 4 hour matches are deffo my cuppa tea. Just the right amount of time IMO(in my opinion)
I hope I can draw lucky on the first match and get some good points in before it goes too cold. I just want to beat Si(me) and that will do me nicely
Just go easy on us newbies to the venue Tony

Just go easy on us newbies to the venue Tony  ;)

You'll realise that 4hrs is still too much after you've been on a TK grueller

Go easy? Ha - I've got a gear change to do myself fishing with you MD cracks. Might have to introduce a handicapping system

Heard from Mr V that someone did a decent bag of gudgeon on the KP yesterday - rumour it was all on the paste - so that'll suit Si (Me)

Gudgeon king will be pleased with that then. Mind you I had a nice net of gudgeon from the canal up Woodbank in Penkridge last Monday. It made a lovely change and they were all big fat un's  :)
If you do get a handicap system can I get in on it please  :P
I thought it was this weekend coming but its not  :-? :(
Just gonna be using white hydro there, bugger them light elastics, white is rated 6-10 so it will do nicely.  :)

Dont read too much in that 38lb...........3lb 8oz will probably win our match when the curse kicks in

It pays to be prepared though, It will take you 2 days to land a 10lb carp on your number 4 lacky

Better take me bivvi with me then..........

LOL, hope you got a camping stove in there for a nice cuppa tea and maybe some Jam on toast

That will take some doing even for me to bag 38lb of gudgeon. Better get mixing the paste no ready for saturday

Lets just temper some expectations before we all get gruellered
looking thru last years results on there, just to bring a bit of sanity to things (and demonstrate how crap we are)
TK won first match 3-0-0 in the rh corner peg
Ginger Tom second with 19-4-4 out the gusher peg
The Ginger again with 9 – 15 – 0 off first brambles
Ginger yet again with 3 – 10 – 8 off same bramble peg
Geoff 2 – 14 – 9 off Cashmores corner
Finally TK 7 – 2- 6 off the bend
So there you go - it can be hard - don't say you werent warned

A footnote
Despite the 3 wins Ginger T failed to win the 2005/6 series, finishing 2 points behind KOD

here we go the tk grueler series are about to start, what sb shall we use

Can't tell you Heinzer or it wouldn't be SB

Being as you've twisted my arm, I'm going to try Chow Mein Pot Noodle ::)

I will give mini babybel a try I think and if the fish dont like it, bugger them I will eat it

On a side note, regarding rules... Are there any or is it make it up as you go along ??

TK makes it up as he goes along.......if youm catching more than me dont be surprised if a few species are disqualified

No seriously, no bait bans or methods - just fish to model 'NFA' rules, but you can go walkies if it's a struggle (or fancy someone elses babybelle )

Being as you've twisted my arm, I'm going to try Chow Mein Pot Noodle  ::)

Top tip - don't leave the boiling water on it longer than 3 mins or the noodles go too soft and slip off your hook - as with hemp oil - save the pot noodle water for mixing in your groundbait

lol, your serious This will be worth watching

What about hooks ? Barbed , Barbless ?

not aloud to use any hooks

not aloud to use any hooks

I agree, them are the rules for everyone who has fished there before, so me and me are ok to use hooks

yes thats right.

The rules that i saw were

Newbies or if your name is si then you can use a full rig and bait

Fished the series before = no hooks aloud,

framed before = no hook or float

won a match = no hook, no float or no line

Name is tk = no fishing at all
