Simple Match Fishing Forum

If this weather keeps up it may even be worth a look at the "Mugger Margin©" line.

If this weather keeps up I'm starting to stock pile water to take to Rockalls

There is a fair chance that I wont be able to make the match on Saturday. I have been suffering from Flu since last Friday and unless there is a rapid improvement I wont be going.

I will get Chris to collect the scales and paperwork etc and bring them down.

That's not good fella.
Won't be the same without you on the 1st match of the season. :(

Has anyone ever won a section from their sick bed before ?

Get well soon Dave hope you make it

Not Yet Clive but there has to be a first time for everything.

I remember one year I nearly won a section at Colemans while I was on holiday in the Caribbean.

Hope you get well soon Dave.

What times the draw ?

Are you sure you have the right club Mick?
We take our fishing very seriously I'll have you know.

I take it that you will be looking for the chance to reclaim your 'Golden Nugget'.

Are the wood mounted 'Chippy Presentation Nuggets' available yet?

Sorry but i can't make it now,i have to work as i'm trying to build up a customer base.

Have a good day and i look forward to the write-up's.
