Hi Keith,

Hope you're well mate!

I was fishing once a fortnight for most of last year with some decent results across club matches, open matches , fishing trips etc.

Came 3rd in the Monks Summer league last summer just ounces behind 2nd! >:(
Got myself a new PB match weight at Todber Manor on a ...

Can't make this one unfortunately Dave - hope you all have a good days bagging!

Yeah I’ll peg it Dave!

Sign me up please Mr Chairman! Kyle won’t be in attendance as it’s his better half’s birthday (also known as Si’s daughter). I’ve pinged John Drake to see if he fancies it too.

Happy to give a hand pegging it, do we know what we're being given, or is it numbers dependant?

As mentioned on the ...

Hi! TBC on whether I’ll be joining or paying guest fees yet, as lots of dates in the diary and a busy year already. Once we have some venues booked in I can confirm.

Would definitely be up for fishing Woods and Stepfield - not sure if it’s stepfield old or new but the first lake you come to on your ...

What's the latest on Marsh matches this year Dave with Match fishing being given the green flag from March 29th?

Obviously the next question to ask is, if I'm looking to buy a new pellet feeder reel, what line choice to I go with. Had 8lb on b4 but couldn't tell you what type of line I had. So what line do you people reckon???? :tiphat :tiphat :thumsup

I like the 8lb Guru Pulse Pro for feeder & bomb work ...

2.5m does my top kits with a side puller and leaves a little bit spare. 2m is only good for the short shallow kits.

If you’re looking to lighten them up I’d go:
2 x white
2 x green
3 x black
3 x red

That way you’re covered for the slightly lighter f1/carp stuff as well as silvers, then black for your general carp and red if more muscles needed.

I use 2.5m for a standard size top kit with a side puller, and ...

Hi Dave, for the new venue category I’ve had a bit of a stalk of a match anglers in Essex for venues I hadn’t fished.

Ended up with:
Timberland fishery (150lb won in July)
Oakwood farm fishery (175lb won in June)
North Benfleet Hall Fishery (121lb won in October)

I fish Nick Gilbert AmberCore, very similar to Hydro but about £6 / top kit.

The colours are the same ratings as Hydro, other than the green which is the same as grey hydro. I usually fish slightly on the lighter girlier side and make use of the puller... so in my long kits for the summer I have ...

You’ve had 1 too many glasses of sherry Mr C! Will be no chance of a mid match weigh in needed...

That place isn’t a challenge, it’s a cemetery for the dreams of a good days fishing

Yes please Dave

I expect to join, depending mainly on dates and whether they clash with my other club... can’t get away with fishing both Saturday and Sunday much when trying to get out most weekends as it is :fistycuffs

Agreed with Terry’s point on Monks - would avoid Lake 4. Lake 3 can be great in summer, so ...

Yes please Dave - house move has been delayed so now available for this one

I’ll be there Dave - somewhat hungover I expect but will be there... (getting my excuses for a DNW in early)

I'll be there Dave

Just had flights confirmed so I won't be in attendance chaps - have a good one and who ever is on peg 67 better have 400lb!
