Simple Match Fishing Forum

first time I've ever seen it was this week and fished it didn't even know it was there cheers richie although i drew well it was a nice away day from the normal rigmarole must say the pub and breakfast was superb and meeting up with all the lads again is always a pleasure including lloydy  as for the venue remembering the main target are skimmers the weather probably didn't help with the cold night before and the sunshine on the day .but the weights really surprised me and i think a lot of others and what a class move fishing the otherside to the towpath 
i drew peg 40 next to the walk over bridge in a turning bay 
the problem was it was full of weed past 13metres the lads had cleared most of the weed from 13m back to 6 but again it was a straight line i couldn't get a line to the left or right  :-/still i had a great day starting on bread at 6m and put 4 balls of G/B stuffed with dead squatt casters and bloodworm at 11m leaving me somewhere to go if it went pair shaped and left that for a couple of hours
the bread line was solid at the start and had to keep feeding to keep the fish happy
when i did move out again the fish were happy to feed with B/W and pinkie being the best bait but the sun coursed be a right problem in the last half hour as i couldn't  see and by this time everyone around me caught skimmers i ended up losing a couple i even tried to get a line to the left but it was solid weed  but boy how that last half hour cost me although i was catching the fish had gone small and i missed a few baites because of the sun
i weighed a straight 13lb  almost knowing it was the wrong side of 13lb  and how true was that 13lb 1oz 13lb 2oz 13lb 6oz 13lb 14oz 14lb and 16lb winning the match 
shakespeare did have a little moan about the venue but come on its not often you can catch 13lb on a canal and only win your section
your winter league needs venues like that to keep the interest going 
well done bosa  

i did notice a kingfisher watching from the other bank  i feel it wont be long before he wets a net again
it was nice catching up with you mate you can't beat the good old days

Is there a chub in it?

no joker didn't work

Nice to see your JOFF not a bad canal i think????? plenty of fish in areas i watched the walkers standing over anglers floats and they were still catching has you say its not very often you catch 13 pounds on canal and only win you section You never now if this rain keeps up you could be on the canal again on sunday would you like ??????? You never know you might see the kingfisher again its vary rare you no

i don't think we can afford it to be on the canal kingfisher if QUORN are going to slip big time it might be on a river with colour and no hemp fish but the again its got to repeat its self again the next week still you only need six numbers to win the lottery

I wouldnt worry about any alleged moaners Joff. Apparently I was also moaning about it - thats if you listen to some of the gossip merchants who seem to love twisting my words lately. Just because you say a venue is weedy doesnt mean you dont want to fish it. In fact, I was really looking forward to this match as theres nothing better than trying a new venue. Unfortunately, though, i cocked up and despite fishing 16m towards Guesty i still couldnt catch a skimmer! Id love to have another crack at it though as I learned loads. Almost like a canal/commercial hybrid!

Your useless Jon, i guess balling it aint the shaky team plan then

i'm used to moaners you want to see the semi final topic on the other site i don't think the venue will take loads of pressure though and as long as teams respect that i think it will be a good round as long as the really cold weather keeps away

Nice one Joffie - but wheres the pictures ????????????????

If shakespeare go there then i'm gonna go and ball it in every peg the day before with rubbish groundbait out of Joffs shop

i thought you said you were going to fish double jelly babies if you had a chance of second

tony F you had a good run of fish at the end of the match did you catch over B/W

choppy if we are to make any ground up on you it will have to come from the river rather than the canal i think the river holds more bad pegs BUT thats on the natural river
its a long shot but its there

You are right mate it's a long shot, very long !!!!!!!!!
