Simple Match Fishing Forum

ss.the wyrley boys are focused.

OOoooooo
I can smell some serious competition here
I'm only there to make the numbers up, if I catch well it will be a bonus
I will be focused too....

First letter I opened in all the post that's piled up over the week was the 'comfirmatory' entry from SSDC - plus importantly the individual forms I have to complete for each of our team members......................

Please note - a bacon on toast on Sat is suffice to secure a place in the Wyrley W****r's team

Oooo welcome back, look forward to seeing you down there.
If you have any left over butties TK send them my way

Going to go up there today to have a walk round and have a look for bait bans etc.

Been up and had a walk round, it seems a few people had the same thing in mind today.
Malc from Goodyear club was up there to and was surprised to see me there

We are on the first 2 pools and the average depth is 3 foot  
It was stocked in may with 3500 small common and mirror carp.
The pegs ain't very good, uneven banks and slabs 2 foot away from the water. One peg was a pallet lying across some squashed down reeds  
There's some narrow pegs on the first pool that look like snag heaven, hope you don't draw any of these TK with your 8oz bottoms lol.
I'm getting there extra early as car parking will be a problem I think.
The bailiff and some other anglers up there said there are some big lumps in there also. Along with big bream and tench.
With the depth at 3 foot pretty much all over the whole pool it will be a interesting venue to fish, I'm certainly gonna pack my wag rod in the car  :)
Only catmeat is banned from what I can read on the board up there.
Top baits... bread, meat and corn. Pellets are allowed too.
Malc said there's 8 teams booked in, so that's 32 anglers, its gonna be tight round the 2 pools I think  

Looks like a lovely place though, looking forward to it  

Ta for the insider info..............hope that 32 includes us or it's gunna be even tighter

You probably knew it all anyway, you have your source's I'm sure
Remember, NO! 12 oz bottoms Tony
Just thought, should have took my stealth camera and got some snaps to put up
I will get plenty on the day, oh hang on..... My camera man ain't gonna be there

According to my 0.06 lines, its 1lb 4oz - beastie stuff.
I've chucked my 8oz stuff away - you really did need to net everything over 2oz with that stuff or you'd crack off swinging fish in
It'll be a grueller anyway once our team turn up - and 0.06 lines could be critical...........and they'll easily handle them pastie carp caught on slop & squatt

Stockies will eat a bogey of a size 10 hook on 15lb line though

Not for me they dont

Your bogeys are probably too crusty then

we are prepared simon, ive had years of practic down there, its my local and ha ha has a huge consignment of worm and joker to use. Our mystery guest for wyrley is none other than hoddy's very own barbara.

Ahh nice one Paul, So thre's gonna be some nice butties there then

Good captain I make..............we were going to turn up a day late cuss I told everybody it was on Sunday  :o

Hmmm...  I wonder.
When I was there yesterday a old guy rolls up in his car get out and comes over to us.
He says "I hope its like this on Sunday because I'm fishing the parish match, how do you think we will do"
One of the guys I'm standing with says "You don't stand a chance of winning"
The old guy looks offended and says "whys that then" he looked like this >>  
The other guy says " Because the match is on Saturday and please come on Sunday so we have more chance of winning"

LOL, maybe it was one of your ill informed team members Tony  :D

Hmmmmm..............now I wander

Couple of years it was on a Sunday..........did I just associate the day (I knew it was the 23rd but hadn't checked out what day) or did the guy at the council make reference to a Sunday

Don't think it was a Gt Wyrley W*****r team member - if so Zorro,Heinzer, Yamo and HaHa will be upset at the 'old guy' reference

heheh, no he was from another team, He did say but I can't remember
So what will you be doing on the day, just bank walking and keeping the lads informed with whats working and where
If so and you ain't busy you can take some pictures for me

I'll be orchestrating their walk to the winners podium.....................
