Simple Match Fishing Forum

The 6th and final round of the Angling Trust Oxford winter league was fished by 6 teams on the Oxford canal from Wolvercote to Walton Well road, The canal was clear and there were no boats to colour the water but the overcast conditions helped and there were plenty of small perch and roach caught along with some big perch for the framers.

1st Richard Head - Drennan Banbury Gunsmiths - 10lb 13oz. Richard drew the same peg he had in the practice match, 2 above Aristotle bridge, and had mainly god perch to 2lb on lobworm over chop worm and joker feed.

2nd Matt Herbert - Drennan Banbury Gunsmiths - 7lb 12oz. Matt was struggling at the top of the Frenchay road section but a couple of decent skimmers and perch late got him in the frame. Matt fished bloodworm over joker feed.

3rd John Hassler - Isis - 7lb 1oz. John had some good perch on worm over chop worm feed.

4th Gary Barclay - Drennan Banbury Gunsmiths - 6lb 10oz.

5th Darren Wright - Sensas A4 - 6lb 1oz.
