Simple Match Fishing Forum

Well, a disappointing 10 members turned out for this one :(
Me and Yamo pegged out, and after the "short walkers" had their pick, the rest of us drew ours and I ended up on peg 13, middle of the roadside straight. KOD asked me to draw the Golden peg, so hand in and out came 13....no pressure there then Nice looking peg, with about 4 foot on the stick line, quite pacy too, so set up a 6xno4 stick, and a 3aa waggler for over, where the water was much steadier.
Decided to give the hemp and caster a go inside, thinking the bait would get down in the swim quicker than the maggot, which I fed over on the wag line. All in, and after 45 mins had produced just 2 bites on the stick, so over on the wag and action straight away from 1oz - 2oz dace, but fish going in the net. Decided to feed the maggot inside, and after an hour came back on the stick line, and lo and behold the dace had come onto the maggot. Kept switching lines to the end, and caught small dace all through

1st Big Col. Peg 20. 12lb 15 0z

So Big Col continued his winning ways, depriving me of a few sovs on the Golden Peg. TK will love him for that Well done big lad

Decent weights there, off the river

TK will love him for that 

I fished this contest yesterday,and like all of the clubs contest enjoyed the banter and the fishing.To add to the day I caught my very first grayling,This from the river Trent surprised me just shows the river is cleaner now. Anyway congrats to big col first again well done mate well done to all my club mates good day had by all

Along with Mike E I always enjoy the intellectual merry banter on match day mornings.
With regard to the days results the current Mrs Broadstock judges my successes against the catches of Heinzer and TK..
Therefore in her adoring eyes I have had a good day.
See you at Fisherwick.
