Simple Match Fishing Forum

Very interesting and informative video...

the best in the business at hemp fishing kiddo no one has mastered the way tony fishes the bait

I loved watching that Joff. They explained everything so well

what groundbait was he using in conjuction with the liquidised bread as i dont think he mentioned it by name it does make you want to get your gear and go fishing now

Sharki it's pure white groundbait kiddo

is it white crumb that thee used to see in tackle shop joff or sausage rusk

Very good video. Shame the venue isn't closer to me

I agree joffi he is superb might go and have a knock up there

The venue hasn't been quite as good as other seasons ,the area they are fishing is probably the best area for the time of year around the otter pub.some great roach fishing the section does get booked up very early in the season
As for the bread I'm pretty sure it's the white crumb that you get in shops but that's not defo

Both of them are top blokes and very good anglers.

Didn't cover the float size on TM's hemp rig (unless I missed it?). I suspect 0.6g or less from a little knowledge of how he fishes it.
Hasn't really worked this season due to the water levels on the Trent and Avon (certainly not like 2011).

PS. Jamie had better not take Tony to Barford on the Warks Avon for the rematch .... as Tony is pretty hot there too

nocarplease i did think it was a match of sorts tony loves his Chiantis and especially the originals i'm sure from time to time he uses 4x16, 4x14, 4x12 even 4x10 he also uses styles by the hundred[ 12s and 13s shot ] on his rigs he's certainly got it to a fine art
i fished along side tony for a number of years and watched his style along with Dave petch who fishes it a completely different way  i rate dave as highly as tony the only thing that holds dave back is he can't fish as often as tony 
dave will also fish outside of his boundaries where as tony loves running water and why not he's exultant at what he does

i once drew next to tony more or less on those pegs featured i fished a G/B pinkie match where as tony is not a massive fan of the stuff .tony feed hemp all day yet realised at one point early on in the match the roach weren't feeding and started bait dropping chopped worm in one or two spots especially at 16m that day he won the section and i'm no sure if he framed with 5lb15oz i managed 4lb something but that day sticks out in my mind because i did have a odd fish on hemp where tony had virtually  given it up that day for good reasons only he knows 

Could anyone tell me is it day ticket water

Loughborough soar rent the water I'm not sure if it is day ticket but they doe have a website that should tell you if not I'll find out tomorrow

Tony seems a jolly fellow

A good view

Look forward to 'round 2' - wherever that turns out to be
