Simple Match Fishing Forum

Turning into a right set of wusses you lot 

Now Now MrV...Just because us Young uns are trying to think of you older folk..you know how your bones ache when you get chilled by the wind 

I propose Wigmores

If you gonna do that what about Buzzrds Valley 


Personally..i think if we don't try the common we will never know

Members should be aware that the main Brownhills to Pelsall is closed for water main repairs for the next 6 weeks.
Access to either the Extension or Fishley will be initially via the Norton road from the A5 if you are coming from that area

If the match is this Saturday (25th) Im very doubtful, as my daughter is visiting for a family party, and Im still decorating, sorry

If windy, the extension may be better, but if Deadpeg is amongst us there may be no escape.

Theres a hurricane brewing for this sat,and its from down under :surprise

Sorry unable to make Saturday hopefully pop down for the weigh in :(

Gents , do we have a decision on which stretch we are fishing please ?? - need to decide whether 5 kilo or 10 kilo of groundbait to order ?

Had a wander today....extension has a nice colour. Boats towards A5 very clear water.Wood Lane there were plenty of fish topping both sides of the bridge, and the same at Doggers, but water fairly clear. Would need a breeze on them ideally. Common not too bad....dare we brave it with the weather forecast promised
My vote goes to the extension boys, second choice Fishley

Save the Extension for the winter gruellers - have a go on The Common ?

Martini angler - any time , any place , any where .

I'll check Fishley out in the morning....

As I read it so far we have

Fishley - 2 votes
Common - 2 votes
Extension - 2 votes
Wigmore - 2 votes

Looks like its going to the wire

One things for sure.............



Where ever we go............



Some bugger will moan 'we should have pegged...........'

Just seen the weather forecast for Sat - sod that, I'll update the casualty list.....



Anybody wanna take charge of the key to Fishley in case you decide to go there?

Go on the extension....don't need to worry about a key then, or waiting for the key holder to get back from his peg and let everyone out at the end

If your going on Fishley I may give it a miss anyway. Fished it enough this season already. Variety is the spice of life, and we have plenty of canal to go at without visiting the same section so often.

Think I am with Paul on this one..Be nice to fish a different section..although I fid notice it was quite shallow there was plenty of fish to be had when me and Phil paid it a visit last week with some good bonus fish as well. ..would just have to take care with pegging ..my suggestion would be either dide of broken bridge

If I move my "wish " back to the Extension we now have a majority ?

Trev

Too late guys - wouldn't want Big Cols efforts with his petrol strimmer this afternoon wasted, particularly as he used up all his spool of cable

It's all pegged out as well...

So Fishley it is then (Tricast62 can you knock me some 12lb rigs up)

Gate will be open at 8.15am and locked at 8.30am so please be there early.....ta

No point in asking then was there really. .

Hey I've just cut me grass and tidied up the garden but you ain't fishing in me pond

Go on the extension....don't need to worry about a key then, or waiting for the key holder to get back from his peg and let everyone out at the end

On the Trent then

Been washing my worms, glossing my gentles, cleaning my casters, hovering my hemp, and waxing my wellies.
Got to be on my best appearance to grace the newly prepared drive way at Fishley Lane.
I have also polished my pole, tickled up my trolley and unfurled my umbrella
