Simple Match Fishing Forum

Another glorious day proper sunshine....But would it be the kiss of death to the canal,lots of blossom scum and grass cuttings made it very hard to put a rig in the water .many thanks to the 30 anglers that turned up.With the one car park closed for Easter break,it was a bit of a trek for some anglers....some better fish caught on hemp and loads of squat fish caught.Well done to Dave Brown of a peg that hadn't been in for a while and putting up with me sat behind him for an hour

Many thanks gents 

Another very good match on a very good venue,good fishing,good company,and well run as always.Such a shame that the scum and grass on the surface didn't clear and allow people to get the most from there pegs,otherwise the weights would have been even better.


Only thing that concerns me is the reports of Piracy !!!
apparently a barge was boarded and the crew taken hostage by "Captain Greybeard".The crew said "a big bloke,with a brummie accent,grey beard,dodgy shorts,and a set of beam scales" jumped aboard there barge at Camphill Top Lock,and demanded to be taken to peg 1 at the rear of Wallworks.

tis a vicious rumour me hearty
