While Gary took the lion share of the pool money it was Paul Turner who had a fish to remember, a massive chub weighing 6lb 8oz.....thats what you call a rubba dub!

was he fishing cheese paste on the ledger? ::) ::)

I'm not 100% Diddy but i think he had it on a squatt rig.

must of lead him a merry dance.

like i said Diddy, not 100%, there were a lot of skimmers being caught and he hooked it on number 3 laccy.

yahoo, paul has a cunning knack of catching silly fish from canals. i emember him having a little catfish from the guc at milton keynes a few years back.

Bloody good angler, just couldn't give a toss,

Paul, along with Peter Plant probably helped me more than any one else when i first started fishing opens.

did you some good then choccy monster!!!
hows the teams of 3 guna fish this week? will there be any skimbobs to spoil the joker boyz roach sport, or have all the imergrants eaten them??? ::) ::) ::)

I dont know mate....everytime i say its going to be crap it fishes well...there was a lot of colour in it yesterday but its always a roach match, there might be the odd skimmer caught but not enough to start feeding for them.

sounds like heaven!!! where i'm going sunday you cud happily catch 6lb+ of roach and get hammered by a numpty fishing curly wirrly line and corn catching skimmers.

Where you going?

kennet & avon at seend park near devises. will be skimbob central if you draw anywhere near the slimey buggers! match has 70 odd at the moment as the rivers are flooded and there's zero matches on of any size on down ere this week!!! :(

Is that on the semi length?

no mate, its like a practise match and memorial day for local league.
shud be good with the favourable weather we've had!! ::)

Dont forget to fill it in again Diddy!

Lee, are you going to risk putting in 160 to 166 again with all that rain? I personally would because thats the only time they havent produced but its a tough call. Similarly, someone said you may be putting in 1 to 20 in the semi. Has that ever seen B&J?

It will be pegged the same as in the last round two weeks ago with the possible exception that i will put in peg 37 and leave out peg 84A, all pegs will move up 1 place.


I will be using pegs 1 to 20 in the practice matches,i have got to get all the reeds out from the inside, i had a walk up there on Sunday and there a lot of roach topping, this might be why the pegs between 25 and 29 have not produced this year. I think the fish are still in the shallower section, it has not seen any worm and joker, in the semi i will be using the best 10 sections of 9.

Two of the nicest fellows you will ever meet

Pete and Paul are two anglers that aint afraid to give 'em some casters!

yes mate pete loves em won him a few bob
