[messrs]conditions looked great slight winds over cast pretty mild it looked as if we were in for a good match .that was until a pike anglers that had walked the whole canal and didn't catch one said "i don't fancy it for you lads with this low pressure and full moon
i never thought about it but normally a full moon means lean times 
with this in the back of my mind it changes my plan of attack when i arrived at ::)yes a bridge peg
and i mean right next to bridge i forgot we normally leave this out because in the past we have had trouble with kids chucking things at you
::)still down the canal where i really wanted to be the 190s i could see scotty, roger andy beesley and with the sections being over 50 long anything can happen
i going to made thing simple that's my new years resolution think positive and dont set to many traps
i sat down looked at the options and set up the normal rigs but this time i'd doubled them up just in case of a tangle
my bait tray was ready and looked similar to some one else's
bicko's
mine
above the bridge stu naylor had drawn the old chub peg ::) ::)well they caught them once
stu's a great canal angler and from the put in he was catching roach and quite a nice stamp
for me i was catching but they were very small 
I've heard the old saying your on what your on ,but it doesn't stop you try get the better stampers
a few odd better fish came late but i was simple miles behind Stu.to my right it was a different story where i expected them to catch it didn't happen
i ended up with 5lb 6oz and in fairness if i hadn't kept looking for a bonus perch i might of had a like more
still it was good enough for 5th in the section 
stu naylor had a lovely net of fish for 11lb14oz and second on the day
and thats not the best part two the results will be up later as i've left them at home
but its worth waiting for ain't it danny
