:-[i think the writing was on the wall when i pulled up only to see anglers getting back in there vans saying we ain't fishing that still with a quick count up we still had 70 odd fishing what ever is in the canal which is sewage is moving through the canal as the few that practiced on the scrapyard caught fish yet the lads on 260 at the other end didn't and mean didn't 7,8,9,10 fish :-[so i decided to move these sections up to the top end hoping for a few more fish 
;)and to be fair i should of put the scrapyard in as well 
:-/still you can't start changing thing at this stage we all know its just too early for the canal or rather the weather has been the worst sort we could ever have and stems back to our winter league rounds on the river soaryesterday i put my pole pot right down the edge and found the depth of silt is incredible that has built up over the last few months and i'm pretty sure this one reason why the fishing is so bad
i'm just hoping we just don't have any rain this week and the cold weather might just drop some of the colour out it can't make the fishing any worse can it
we only have 8 teams in this semi final so at least i have a little more room to juggle around with
i have nothing to do with the draw thats in the hands of the angling trust and will be a randam as you can get
the match will be fished 11 till 4 pm and the draw will be around 8am to 8.30 breakfasts from 7.00am
