Simple Match Fishing Forum

i know there isn't much on this weekend but ive just heard the wreake champs is this weekend on the canal at Market Harborough there are about 30 names down so far i'l get more details tomorrow 

Is bob running it joff? Don't forget your lobs mate for the big fish!

YES MATE HE IS 31 on it now kido

if you haven't booked on you might struggle bobby rang me last night its nearly 60 now
just shows if you promote matches on websites

60???!!!! I hope I don't get the scales again

dan ive got 5 sets i'm taking

77 now mcdonalds will be busy

It hasn't been fishing too bad these past couple of weeks!

who's going off here?

i can't believe how many anglers come from March to fish the matches even march had a 120 pegger on the old nene great bunch of lads
i enjoyed the day should of won my section made school boy eras  weighed 2lb2oz lost two big fish both on bread i'm sure one was a big perch 2lb plus and the other a foul hooked skimmer  also turned up after sorting out all my kit all week we no canal rigs  ::) ::) ::)i'd left them in the kitchen 
still i feel i'm on the road back the interest was there should of stayed on bread all match instead of looking for bonus fish
i must say what a well run match bobby paid the first 6 in the match and top three in the sections

will defo be going next year 

I did manage to draw the scales again, unfortunately that was where my ability to predict the future ended. Scales meant end peg, so I should really have caught more than 15oz
It all started going to pot when I couldn't get a bite on bread for the first 30 mins and I'd watched the fella next to me net 3 fish.

Here's the results shamelessly pinched off the AM website (hope thats ok):

1st Andy Curless (Image) 10-7-0, skimmers, poled chopped worm and pinkie, peg 8. layby section.
2nd Alan Taylor (Wreake AC) 6-12-0.
3rd Norman Bradshaw (Browning MG) 6-9-0.
4th Mark Roberts (Wigston AS) 5-10-0.
5th Steve Warner (Wreake AC) 4-14-0.
6th Darran Bickerton (Kamasan Starlets) 4-3-0.

Fished hard then? back up weights ain't the best joffie! If them big fish don't show you have had it on there! How many fished in the end joff?

63 i think

bloody hell steve warner was stopped by the police on the way home for having too much roach slim on his trousers

I know what you mean about getting back into it Joff, that was the 6th match on a canal that I've fished in 6 years and I feel well off the pace, problem is I just don't think quickly enough these days and end up messing up.........before i moved south I was on the cuts every week be it the Stainy, Junky, Erewash or Fosdyke  the drains down south just arn't the same...
