Simple Match Fishing Forum

Think we need some gudgeon in there Snowie........ summat to go at if the silvers dont play ball.

Another strange weekend Snowie - same as our match on the Shroppie on Sat. We know its stuffed with fish, but the roach and perch just didnt seem to show along the length.........

Apart from the chub that showed for a couple of anglers, plus some jammy old geezer who snared one of his usual 2lb snotties, if it hadnt been for the gonks, most of us wouldnt have weighed in 2oz.

I had 79 fish - no perch - all gonks except for about 5 micro roach that wouldnt have gone 1oz between 'em. Just dont know why the roach dont seem to want to have a peck at the mo on some waters...........

Jammy...

the trap was set with pure precision for that little baby

Canal closed? Tell that to the guy fishing opposite the Grove as we speak!

he's ok as you said he's fishing and not picking flowers

Should have parked your boat in his swim

Shudda done Si, I found a large stone leger weight with line and hook attached to one of my flower boxes the other day! Do some of 'em not realize how expensive boat windows are!
Thanks for the award, can't believe it's been 5 years!

Harry said can he have it back please as he was trying to land a boat but yours got away by snapping him

i wondered where that had bloody gone

But it was blowing hard

Somebody having a secret practise session yesterday

The Midland Chapter of the Lure Anglers' Society will be on the towpath this Saturday (22nd) and on Wednesday 5th March

Be interesting to see if they have as much 'sport' as we do on our matches...........on Saturdays match Mike E netted an Essox Lucius about 6lb on the chop, whilst Trevor B had one attacking his keepnet

Does that mean no pleasure fishing on drown there then

Does that mean no pleasure fishing on drown there then 

Nope OBI - they are aware that pleasure anglers will be on the bank

Believe they are parking up at Wyrley Grove Bridge

Changing subject

Cotti made the caster work today down the boatyard

Can probably guess which peg,same one as he fished last and the same one I am hoping to head for on Saturday.
