Simple Match Fishing Forum

I want to target those lovely bream, Gem wants to catch them tinca's.

Thinking of going down on June the 11th if anyone else fancies it, proving there is not a match on there. Cheers.

No match on any of the sections that weekend Simps - mind I did have to cancel a club booking for the following day - there's a boat rally on the Sunday where they meet and moor up on The Common

In past years there have been stalls with traditional canal fair etc - not a bad walk around to pass an hour or two 

On the positive side, with a few more boats going up the cut on the Sat and Sunday, should mean a bit more colour in it    

So there will be loads of boats on Saturday then. Might have to think on that one then

116 at the last count! Don't know where we are going to put 'em all!

Deffo going to re-schedule then lol
Thanks for the info

Hi Simps - I know the Fishley sections are rather peaceful and more Mr Crabtreesque - especially when the cabbages and lily pads are in full bloom in a months time - but don’t discount the Common section.

In fact leading up to the site match, all reports I was receiving were of far more consistently better pleasure weights coming from the Common rather than to the left of Wood Lane.

Just to give an example, I received this mail today from a member wishing to renew his canal season ticket......

I had a cracking evening on the 'cut' last week. Fishing about 75 metres from Wood Lane bridge towards Finger Post. Had a bag of about 30 plus 2oz Roach, a few perch and a couple of Tinca's about 1.5lb each. Simple pleasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I hadn’t any problem switching to there if the blowtorch hadn’t done the business - in fact I was in two minds - round on the bendy sections only a couple of anglers either side are visible, whereas if we were along the Common it may have lead to even more banter along the bank - plus I know the Wedgey’s and Bill yards punch still works well along there

I want to catch them cracking bream, not really fussed about the tinca's

But it may be worth a go, cheers.
I forgot my punch for the site match but maybe that did me a favour, I will never know

If you dip back on the threads on here, either last year, or the year before, there's a couple of postings and pictures by Sprucey who had a breme or two along the common

2011/12 season tickets are now available, still only £5 for the year

Should be plenty of colour in the cut for a change next weekend......


Just to forewarn members the 'Common' will be 'booked up' - you'll have to head to the left of Wood Lane

Needless to say where I will be next Saturday, TK. So me and Mick will be unable to attend the match.

Popped down yesterday Simps

Two guys fishing just to the left of Wood Lane just past the 'stumps' had had several tincas to 5lb a piece and been seen off a few times as well - on worm over caster   

A carper on the common - near to where Diddy and Guesty fished in the 1st SMF match - had two double figure carp, but also said he had several 'big' bream. I asked him 3-4lb?

'Nope' he replied - a couple went to 6-7lb 

Low and behold, went down to have a look at the match today.

Caught up with the organiser - pegged 50/60 yards before the radar gate. he was chuffed - he'd had roach etc but been seen off, but told me he'd had the biggest bream he'd ever caught.............struggled to get it in his landing net, and reckoned it went 6 or 7 lb 

Another guy past the radar gate had also been seen off a few times
