Walsall canal and Tame valley canal.
105 fished

With conditions ideal everyone expected a roach feast and the main questions being asked were whether the mild weather would encourage the Skimmers to have a go, this was definately not the case with the venue fishing very hard in areas that normally produce.

Welsh international Darren Frost showed what a class act he is with a  win on the day from peg 120 on the Tame Valley with a mixed catch of roach, skimmers and perch for 10-4-3.

On the next peg was Shakespeare superstar Rob Middleton with a roach catch of 9-8-0.

I was 3rd in section off peg 65 with 5-8-2...but i took a quid off Sladey and won TWO Mars bars.

Ade Slayde won his section with 4-9-7 off peg 60.

Endpeg drew peg 54 in another crap bit and finished 14th with 0-15-6.

Dodge3 was 6th in section off peg 108 with 4-13-12.

Sounds just like a TK Grueller

forgot to add

there were only 49 weights over 3lb

35 over 4lb

18 over 5lb

8 over 6lb

Ah but at least I took a £1 off Lewis Breeze on the next peg so it wasnt all bad! We both had 18 fish but mine weighed 3oz more. Superior presentation again!

There wasnt a roach in our pegs until 2.50pm. Cant believe they caught even less than us in front of the portacabins as well. At least you can blame our draw on being too shallow, narrow and too close to a bridge.

If i was you Lee I would seriously consider putting the matches back 30 mins now we have a bit more daylight. Especially with it being so clear.

On the short sections 101-109 & 110-118 the fish are tightly shoaled in the middle of the sections ie 105-107 and 114-116.

I drew peg 108 where it narrows towards the bridge hole end peg 109, with lots of small roach topping in the middle of the section when we arrived at our pegs hopes were high,darren bickerton,paul bick and jason cunningham drew the middle pegs.....darren and paul caught small roach straight from the off....jay 30 mins in and me after 50mins just like the round before i was playing catch up !! but with three of the very best to the left of me all 1lb plus up on me it was always a tall order.
I really struggled to catch on my 6mtr, line only half a dozen tiny roach through out the day and could only catch left and right at 10mtrs which slowed my catch rate.I never caught one perch which is unusual for this canal as they are good weight builders and finished up with 4.13.12 just missing out on some section money.the lad to my right on end peg 109 had about 12oz which he tipped back.

So am I right in thinking Bicky was in the middle of fish soup?

Yes mate,

lol

Aint he always?
